We are Julia and Donald Starcke, a husband-and-wife sales team whose professional work experiences have prepared us well to help you successfully sell your home. Before joining Your Town Realty, Julia worked as a professional interior designer, helping her clients to design and improve their homes. Donald worked as a sales, marketing and fundraising executive, creating and managing initiatives that produced higher sales and greater customer retention. Our earlier careers prepared us well to help you get your home in top shape for selling, promote your home to stand out in the crowd, and effectively negotiate with prospective buyers and their agents.

​

Today’s Internet-based real estate market demands that sellers present their homes online via high quality, attractive and informative listings. Prospective buyers can look at thousands of homes without leaving their couch—and will quickly rule out your home if your listing doesn’t measure up. We will work with you to create the best possible listing for your home, including professional photography and, as needed, styling and staging services. We provide styling/staging consultations to our clients as part of our listing fee at no extra charge. While real estate has evolved as a digital marketplace, open houses are integral to our sales strategy, and we will hold as many open houses as necessary to attract and identify potential buyers for your home.

​

Our brokerage, Your Town Realty, has developed its own exclusive internet marketing system, designed to maximize your home’s exposure. When you list with us, your home will appear on more websites than it would with other brokers.

 

We have the good fortune of working directly with Your Town Realty's Broker Owner, and outstanding mentor, Ronnie Glomb, one of New Jersey’s most accomplished real estate sales executives. In 2021, Ronnie individually closed 242 transaction sides for a total of $137.83 million in sales volume, earning him the #45th ranking among all realtors in the entire United States. Ronnie also earned the NJ Association of Realtors’ highest annual sales award for eight consecutive years (2013-2020), and he sits on the NJ Association of Realtors ethics committee. You can be confident that with our energy, combined with Ronnie's guidance, we will do the job right.

 

With Your Town Realty, you get great service and you will save thousands! Our listing commission is a low 1%- vs. the 2 1/2% to 3% that other brokerages charge for comparable services. On a $600,000 sale, you save between $9,000 to $15,000 just by choosing us to list your home!
