Howard DeRias has been in real estate field as a licensed agent since 2003.  Throughout the years, he has combined his analytical thinking (acquired from the years spent obtaining his Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics) with great negotiating skills and has applied it to each and every transaction (traditional sales, luxury sales, short sales, bank owned properties, etc.). 

This, combined with the experience of his business & life partner, Terah Naumchik (who has been an agent since 2005), provides his clients with a peace of mind that anything that may arise in their transaction will be handled promptly and properly.

In 2013, Howard & Terah decided to spread their wings and start their own boutique brokerage, Listings Real Estate. After successfully running their own brokerage for 9 years, Howard discovered NextHome. 

After researching the company, Howard & Terah made the move from Listings Real Estate to owning NextHome Lifestyle Realty. Aside from being the #1 franchise in the nation, the technology, support, training & sense of community that NextHome provides their brokers, agents and most importantly their clients made Howard’s decision an easy one. The NextHome adage "Humans Over Houses" made perfect sense! 

Technology

Using NextHome leading-edge tech tools coupled with many years of their own internet marketing, give Howard & Terah the edge in effectively marketing your property online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week!  These tools also give our buyers the edge they need to make fully advised decisions. 

Expertise

Along with extensive knowledge of the South Jersey market, Howard & Terah have and continue to get advanced education in many aspects of real estate. Some of our real estate related training involves seller representation, buyer representation, luxury homes, second homes, tax deferred (1031) exchanges, short sales, distressed properties, foreclosure,  staging, negotiation & internet marketing.

Communication

We strive to meet your expectations – you tell us whether you would like to be contacted via phone, text or email. Our weekly touches will give you statistics on how your home is being viewed on the internet and what feedback we have received from prospective buyers and agents that have visited your home.

Clients for Life

What we strive for is to give you unforgettable service, so that you’ll want to refer us to your friends, family and neighbors. We want NextHome Lifestyle Realty to be the first name you think of when you or anyone you know has a question about real estate.
