POSTS STORIES REELS

From Málaga, Spain, I had the honor of representing Compass International Holdings on a global stage at NAHREP’s Avance Global conference! With a family of over 340,000 agents across nine iconic brands—Compass, Christie’s, Corcoran, Sotheby’s, Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA, @ Properties and Better Homes & Gardens—we fostered powerful conversations that crossed industries: real estate, AI, tech, local politics, and even major league sports. It’s not just about business—it’s about building global impact and community. The connections we made will shape the future. Follow along, because the journey is just getting started! #compassinternationalholdings #avanceglobalespaña #globalimpact #realestate #leadership by @virginiacaamanonj

The Power of Fear: How it Can Cost You Big Time in the Real Estate Market!

When it comes to buying a home, fear can be a powerful force. It can make you hesitate, doubt yourself, and ultimately miss out on opportunities that could have been incredibly profitable. I know this from personal experience, because I’ve seen it happen firsthand.

About two years ago, I had a client who was a widower with a young daughter. He wanted to move his parents from another country to America to help him out, and I was tasked with finding the perfect house for them in a great community with great schools. I found a house that I believed was a steal - listed at $525,000 and located in a desirable area. But my client was paralyzed by fear. He didn’t want to offer above asking price, and as a result, he missed out on the opportunity to buy the house.

Fast forward to today and that same house is now worth $750,000. The client was priced out of the market and missed out on a huge potential profit. This is a prime example of how fear can cause you to miss the boat in the real estate market!

But it’s not just about missing out on potential profits. Fear can also cause you to make a hasty decision, or walk away from a great opportunity altogether. It’s important to remember that the real estate market is constantly changing and if you don’t act quickly, you may miss out on a great opportunity! #fearmakesyoumisstheboat #dontletfearstopyou #payingoveraskingprice #realestate #helpingclientsbuysellandinvest #realtor #realestatetips #buildequity #family #newjersey #njrealestate #virginiacaamanonjrealtor #infinityhomesnj #coldwellbankeragent #cbrealtymetuchennj by @virginiacaamanonj

KNOW THE FACTS! 🔎 HOME Platform & OPEN RE:

HOME Platform and OPEN RE’s proposed platform share a similarity: public MLS listings alongside private inventory shared within participating networks. Outside agents don’t have the same direct platform access.

HOME’s family includes nine brands; OPEN RE announced nine participating organizations. Those numbers may grow on both sides of course.

HOME’s data pledge allows agents to take their client databases and emails when they leave. My question for OPEN RE: Who owns the contributed data? If you have the written policy, please share.

Let’s understand the similarities, ask informed questions and move our industry forward together. 🤝

“OPEN” TO WHOM? 🔎

If the promise is greater transparency, consumers deserve to understand exactly who can see the listings. I love this idea , as long as we are given all the clear answers.

Open Real Estate’s published plan includes two settings:

▪️ PARTICIPANT VIEW: Listings are visible only to agents at participating brokerages. Public marketing is prohibited.

▪️ MARKET: Listings can be marketed publicly through MLSs and other destinations. Open Real Estate determines where they are distributed.
That raises questions worth asking :

• How would a buyer whose agent doesn’t participate discover a participant-view home?
• What information would that buyer’s agent be able to access?
• Does the seller understand which buyers their chosen setting may reach—and which buyers it may miss?
• Are we applying the same standard of transparency to every brokerage, MLS and listing platform?

Inviting brokerages to participate does not, by itself, answer whether every buyer has equal access to the inventory.

Buyers deserve a clear path to discovering available homes. Sellers deserve informed choices about exposure, privacy and the trade-offs of their marketing strategy.

Before defending a system, understand how it works for the people you represent. Read the rules. Ask about the exceptions. Follow the information from the listing to the consumer.

Does the access match the promise?

Open Real Estate remains in development; plans may change.

Before you choose a side, understand what you’re defending. 👀

If transparency is the reason for the rules, consumers deserve to understand the exceptions.

Take new construction and new developments.

Realcomp excludes developments with multiple properties from its Clear Cooperation requirements. CRMLS applies Clear Cooperation to new construction, but allows representative properties or models instead of a separate listing for every lot. The requirements differ by MLS.

Those differences deserve questions:

▪️ Can buyers easily discover all the available homes in a development?
▪️ What inventory and information might they miss if they rely only on MLS listings?
▪️ What consumer benefit justifies different requirements for different properties?
▪️ What marketing choices does an individual homeowner have—and are those choices clearly explained?

If a rule is presented as essential to consumer protection, we should be able to explain how its exceptions serve consumers, too.

Buyers deserve access to available homes. Sellers deserve informed choices about how their property is marketed, including the benefits and trade-offs. Both deserve clarity about how the system works.

Before arguing for a policy, read it. Understand who it covers, what it requires and where the exceptions are. Ask how it affects the people you represent.

Are we applying the same standard of fairness to every consumer? And what evidence supports our answer?

Your clients deserve an informed advocate. Let’s understand the rules before choosing sides.

Luxury real estate is no longer just about the property. It’s about access, technology, relationships — and who owns the data. 🌎✨

At NAHREP AVANCE Global in Las Vegas, one message came through loud and clear: the future of luxury real estate is becoming increasingly global, interconnected and technology-driven.

For agents, brokers and entrepreneurs, that means understanding how to:

✨ Build relationships across global luxury markets
🏙️ Create opportunities through new development, residential, commercial and international referrals
🤝 Leverage powerful networks across brands and markets
🤖 Use AI to scale relationships, marketing and client service
🔐 And perhaps most importantly — understand who owns and controls your data!

Your database, relationships, conversations and intellectual property are becoming some of the most valuable assets in your business. Data is the new oil!!!

Technology should help you compound those assets — not give them away.

I’m passionate about helping more Latino professionals understand how to enter, compete and build generational wealth within the luxury space while embracing the technology that will define the next decade of real estate.

Luxury is global. AI is changing the game. Ownership still matters. Own your data!!

If you’re a broker owner, luxury #professional or entrepreneur thinking about how to scale in this new environment, let’s connect.

Luxury is not a club you get invited into.

Most agents were never raised around it, never had proximity to it, and the intimidation is real. That is exactly why we built this room.

THE LUXE CIRCLE: Luxury Without Limits brings nine speakers: agents, brokers, global developer, and ai experts in luxury to one table for two hours. No slides. No scripts. Just the conversation you normally only hear secondhand.

Where affordable luxury and ultra luxury split, and how to win in both. How a global network turns into referrals that move in both directions. What it actually takes to break into new development in a major city. How AI is rewriting the way luxury buyers search and who owns the client data.

Do not wait for an invitation.

🌪 NEW JERSEY TORNADOES — What Yesterday Taught Us

Three tornado touchdowns were reported across New Jersey yesterday — Cape May Point, Stanhope, and Parsippany-Troy Hills. No injuries reported, but downed trees and power outages made for a long evening in Sussex and Morris counties.Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: NJ averages about 2 tornadoes a year. We’re not Tornado Alley, but weather doesn’t check your zip code first. Peak season runs June through August — which is right now.

As a realtor, I talk a lot about square footage and school districts. But knowing your home’s safe room matters just as much. Lowest level, interior room, away from windows. Have a plan before you need one. Did you get the “go to your basement” alert on your phone?

Stay weather-aware out there, Jersey.📍 Serving NJ | Questions about your home? Let’s talk.

Happy 250th, America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 by @virginiacaamanonj

The view was unreal. The room was even better.
Last week we curated an evening at Penthouse 80 in Sutton Tower (listed by Corcoran Sunshine at $65m) with NYC top-producing agents from across our Compass International
Holdings brands, eighty floors above Manhattan.
This is what we build at Compass International Holdings. We are a culture of excellence and the people bold enough to chase it.

In Washington, D.C., the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals Hispanic Homeownership & Housing Policy Conference brought together the most influential voices across housing, finance, and government to address one mission: advancing sustainable Latino homeownership through policy, data, and action.

This is where industry meets impact. Where conversations around affordability, credit access, inventory constraints, and regulatory reform translate into real solutions that shape the future of housing in America.

And the data makes one thing undeniable…

Latinos are not just participating in the housing market — we are driving it.

• Hispanic homeownership reached record levels, with nearly 10 million+ Latino households owning homes (NAHREP)
• In 2025 alone, Latinos added 441,000 net new homeowners (NAHREP)
• We accounted for 139.6% of total U.S. homeownership growth — meaning without Latino buyers, national homeownership would have declined (NAHREP)
• Household formation exceeded 1 million in a single year, fueling long-term demand (Scotsman Guide)
• And over the next two decades, Latinos are projected to drive ~70% of all new homeowners in the U.S. (Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®)

Yet, despite this momentum, affordability, limited inventory, and access to credit remain the defining challenges shaping our path forward (NAHREP)

This conference is about solving that.

It was an honor to contribute to that conversation through my CIH workshop:
“AI Power Moves: The 2026 Blueprint for Doubling & Tripling Agent Production“— which became one of the best-attended sessions of the conference!

Because the future of this industry is not just policy… it’s productivity, innovation, and empowering agents to scale their businesses in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Proud to stand alongside leaders who are not only witnessing history — but building it.

The future of real estate is being written now… and Latino professionals are leading the charge.
