Are you currently thinking about Buying a home?
When you're ready to buy, make sure to reach out to a real estate professional who has earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation. That means that they have specialized skills and education to advocate for you in the home buying process.

The ABR® designation is the only one of its kind recognized and accredited by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). To receive the ABR designation, an agent must meet the required minimum number of transactions as a Buyer’s Representative. So, there’s no such thing as an inexperienced ABR®. ABR® designees receive specialized training in the field of buyer representation and have access to resources and networking groups to help them stay up to date on the latest trends and research.

WHY USE AN ABR®?
The Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) is a credential that stands out in the realm of real estate, and there are compelling reasons why working with an ABR® can significantly enhance your homebuying experience.

Benefits of Working with an ABR®
An ABR® is not your average real estate agent. These professionals have gone the extra mile to represent buyers effectively. Here’s why you should consider working with an ABR®:
● Expertise and Market Knowledge: Because of the ABR®s’ rigorous qualifications, training, and gained experience, they have a deep understanding of the real estate market. In addition, they have access to resources and networking groups that help them stay up-to-date with current market trends, prices, and neighborhoods.
● Personalized Search and Advice: ABR®s take the time to understand your unique needs and preferences. They use their knowledge and resources to tailor the home search to match your criteria, saving you valuable time and energy by not wasting it on unsuitable properties.
● Negotiation Skills: ABR®s are skilled negotiators. They advocate on your behalf to get the best deal possible, whether it’s in terms of the purchase price, repairs, or other contingencies. Their negotiation skills can save you money and reduce potential future headaches.
● Protection and Guidance: Since ABR®s work exclusively for buyers, their loyalty is with you. They will protect your interests and guide you through the entire process, ensuring you make well-informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.

Whether you want to buy a property in Maryland, Virginia, DC, or New Jersey, I am your ABR. Contact me:

The Hidden Costs of Shifting Commission Responsibility: A Perspective from Armando Liban, Broker at EagleWings Realty

In response to recent statements from President Biden regarding the negotiation of real estate commissions, it's important to address the potential implications for homebuyers and the broader real estate market. As a Real Estate Broker at EagleWings Realty, I understand firsthand how such policy shifts can significantly impact both buyer’s agents and consumers.

President Biden's assertion that commissions are now negotiable raises eyebrows among industry professionals. The reality is that commission rates have always been subject to negotiation, reflecting the dynamic nature of the real estate market. This oversight suggests a disconnect from the intricacies of real estate transactions.

Moreover, the proposal to shift the burden of paying buyer's agents onto homebuyers raises concerns about affordability. In an already challenging housing market, this change could further strain the finances of prospective homeowners. By adding the cost of buyer's agent fees to their budget, homebuyers face an additional hurdle in their pursuit of homeownership.

This shift in commission responsibility not only impacts homebuyers but also has broader implications for the real estate industry. Many agents who traditionally relied on buyer commissions for their income may see a decline in earnings, potentially disrupting their livelihoods.

Interestingly, while this decision may seem to benefit sellers and listing agents by cutting costs, it ultimately serves to widen income disparities and favor real estate investors. By channeling more money into the pockets of investors, the policy inadvertently exacerbates affordability issues for homebuyers.

In conclusion, the proposal to shift commission responsibility has far-reaching consequences that extend beyond the realm of real estate transactions. As industry professionals, it's crucial to advocate for policies that promote fairness and accessibility in the housing market. Only by addressing the root causes of affordability challenges can we ensure a more equitable and sustainable real estate landscape for all stakeholders.

I have been trained extensively many decades ago in the art of detecting dishonesty and lies. In my previous role, I was employed specifically for this skill, with a track record of 100% accuracy in identifying falsehoods. Despite this proficiency, I inherently maintain a trusting disposition and consistently extend the benefit of the doubt to others.

However, my recent interactions with a dishonest real estate agent have been revealing. Our communication, predominantly through written correspondence on my part and verbal exchanges on hers, has exposed a troubling lack of transparency in her approach. Greed likely played a significant role in the agent's persistent dishonesty and deceitful behavior.

I hurried to send an offer letter on Monday evening, because she stated that her in-laws are in the hospital, stressed-out, and needed to make a quick decision that same evening. However, I received no updates until I reached out to her in writing the following day, on Tuesday morning. She then called me, confirming that they were accepting my offer and assuring me that the signed acceptance would be sent by evening.

She verbally confirmed acceptance of our offer and assured that her sellers, who are currently hospitalized, would sign the acceptance by evening. She explicitly stated that no further offers would be entertained, and the property would no longer be shown. These statements contained revealing cues. However, come evening, the promised acceptance letter was not received.

Wednesday morning, she relayed the surprising news on her very first written communication:
“To my surprise, my in-laws decided to take another offer. The other offer has been signed already, so it is a done deal.” So her in-laws opted for another offer, which had already been signed, solidifying the deal. Disregarding her prior verbal acceptance of my offer.

It seems she was indeed entertaining other offers despite indicating otherwise.

The only conceivable explanation for her in-laws signing another offer would be if she presented them with a competing offer, persuaded them that it was superior, and provided guidance on where and how to sign. This contradicts her earlier verbal acceptance of our offer, where she assured us that ours was the strongest and best offer, and that her in-laws were ready to sign in the evening. She also obviously disclosed the details of my offer to the other party who subsequently outbid my offer the following day after she already verbally accepted our offer. Very unethical and very dishonest.

If she had indeed committed to accepting our offer and signing the contract that evening, I would have placed trust in her word. However, the absence of a written acceptance and formal ratification renders her verbal promise of acceptance dubious, particularly in light of her subsequent acceptance of another offer. A moral compass, if present, should have compelled her to honor her commitment by providing me with a signed acceptance letter.

This unethical conduct and blatant dishonesty she exhibited undermine the integrity of the transaction, casting a shadow on the profession as a whole. It is disheartening to witness such behavior becoming increasingly prevalent among real estate professionals. Tsk tsk tsk

Making the Right Home Choice: Condo vs. Townhouse vs. House
by Armando D. Liban

Are you in the market for a new home but unsure whether a condo, townhouse, or a traditional house suits you best? Choosing the right type of property is crucial, as it can significantly impact your lifestyle, finances, and overall satisfaction with your living situation. In this comprehensive guide brought to you by EagleWings Realty, we'll explore the pros and cons of each option to help you make an informed decision.

**Condo Living:**

Pros:
1. Low Maintenance: Condos typically offer low-maintenance living as exterior maintenance, landscaping, and amenities are often managed by the homeowners' association (HOA).
2. Amenities: Many condos come with attractive amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers, and communal spaces, providing residents with added convenience and entertainment options.
3. Affordability: Condos can be more affordable than townhouses or single-family homes, making them an attractive option for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize.
4. Security: Condo complexes often have security features such as gated entrances and surveillance cameras, providing residents with a greater sense of security.

Cons:
1. Lack of Privacy: Living in close proximity to neighbors in a condo complex may result in reduced privacy compared to other housing options.
2. HOA Fees: While HOA fees cover maintenance and amenities, they also represent an additional monthly expense that homeowners must budget for.
3. Limited Customization: Condo owners may have limited control over renovations and customization due to HOA rules and regulations.

**Townhouse Living:**

Pros:
1. Ownership: Townhouse owners typically own both the interior and exterior of their units, providing more control and flexibility compared to condo living.
2. Space: Townhouses often offer more space than condos, with multiple levels and sometimes a small yard or patio.
3. Community: Townhouse developments often foster a sense of community among residents, offering opportunities for social interaction and networking.
4. Appreciation: Townhouses often appreciate in value over time, providing homeowners with potential long-term investment benefits.

Cons:
1. Maintenance Responsibility: While townhouse owners have more control over their properties, they are also responsible for maintenance tasks such as exterior upkeep and landscaping.
2. Shared Walls: Townhouses typically share walls with neighboring units, which can result in noise disturbances and privacy concerns.
3. HOA Fees: Similar to condos, townhouses may be subject to HOA fees for maintenance of common areas and amenities.

**Single-Family House:**

Pros:
1. Privacy and Independence: Single-family homes offer the highest level of privacy and independence, with no shared walls or common areas.
2. Customization: Homeowners have full control over renovations and customization, allowing them to personalize their living space to suit their preferences.
3. Outdoor Space: Houses often come with ample outdoor space, including yards, gardens, and patios, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation.
4. Potential for Appreciation: Single-family homes typically have the highest potential for appreciation compared to condos and townhouses, offering long-term investment benefits.

Cons:
1. Maintenance Costs: Homeowners are responsible for all maintenance and upkeep of the property, including landscaping, repairs, and renovations, which can be costly and time-consuming.
2. Higher Costs: Single-family homes tend to be more expensive than condos and townhouses, both in terms of purchase price and ongoing expenses such as property taxes and utilities.
3. Limited Amenities: Unlike condos and townhouses, single-family homes may lack the amenities and communal spaces offered by managed communities.

In conclusion, choosing between a condo, townhouse, or single-family home ultimately depends on your individual preferences, lifestyle, and financial situation. EagleWings Realty can help you navigate the housing market and find the perfect property to suit your needs. Contact us today to start your journey toward homeownership!

Zillow's Zestimate vs Broker's CMA

Zillow's Zestimate is notoriously inacurate as it relies on computer generated algorhytm, there is no intelligence in the actual processing of numbers.

On the other hand, a Broker's CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) has a human element which actually collects information, historic sales data, market trends, averages, we look for at least 3 most recent sales which are actual comparables to the subject properties, (i.e., location, age, size, quality, condition, construction, style, square footage, elevation, floor plan, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, etc.) and making adjustments based on differences with comparables.
