Military Veteran with Forty Years of Southern Maryland Real Estate Expertise <\/strong>Taps Into ERA Powered\u00ae<\/sup> Branding Option<\/strong><\/p>\n

MADISON, N.J., (April 9, 2024)<\/strong> — ERA<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup> <\/u>Real Estate<\/a>, a global franchising leader within the Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS) portfolio of brands, announced today its latest affiliation with O\u2019Brien Realty ERA Powered, a firm with over forty years of experience serving Southern Maryland from five locations throughout the region.<\/p>\n

The firm is led by owner and principal broker, Mike O\u2019Brien, who first founded the company in 1980. O\u2019Brien is not only a real estate expert but also a Vietnam veteran who spent his early professional career working in finance with multiple Fortune 500 companies in Downtown Manhattan. After leaving city life behind, O\u2019Brien planted new roots on the beaches of Southern Maryland, where he has since grown one of the largest real estate networks in the region, with over 100 agents working directly from his offices.<\/p>\n

Assisting him in leadership is Vice President of Development, Toni Lowman. Lowman has spent her entire real estate career by O\u2019Brien\u2019s side. She trained with the company and became licensed as a real estate professional in 2016. Since then, she\u2019s quickly risen through the ranks and now manages the company\u2019s Calvert County offices.<\/p>\n

Throughout the company\u2019s forty-year tenure, the O\u2019Brien agents have developed expertise in several areas of real estate. O\u2019Brien himself has an in-depth background in land development and over 20 years of experience in the mortgage and title business. Mike and his agents are also well-versed in new construction, waterfront properties, farms, and land sales as well as residential and commercial transactions. Their service area covers all of Calvert, Charles, Prince George\u2019s, and Saint Mary\u2019s counties, where they have a history of working with many active or retired military clients based on the nearby military installations including PAX River and Andrews Air Force Base.<\/p>\n

Now as part of the ERA Real Estate network, O\u2019Brien and his full-service company\u2019s affiliated agents will be able to utilize the brand\u2019s robust business-building tools and leverage the most up-to-date marketing programs to connect buyers and sellers. O\u2019Brien plans to rely on these updated technologies and platforms to attract like-minded brokers looking to create synergies that can fuel growth and expand the company\u2019s existing footprint.<\/p>\n

The ERA Powered\u00ae<\/sup> flexible branding option allows companies to leverage their local brand identity and benefit from ERA Real Estate\u2019s full suite of learning, marketing, and servicing resources. O\u2019Brien has already developed a historic reputation for being one of the longest-standing, most trusted real estate providers in Southern Maryland. With the support of the ERA Powered branding option, he can now streamline his existing agents\u2019 efforts and quickly onboard new agents while preserving the name that many Maryland buyers and sellers are already familiar with.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien Realty ERA Powered has succeeded for decades largely thanks to its company culture focused on not only professionalism but also enthusiasm. Every affiliated agent is driven to provide the best services possible, and they take great pride in creating a seamless transaction experience. To O\u2019Brien and his agents, real estate isn\u2019t just about business; it\u2019s about welcoming buyers and sellers into their company family and having fun while doing so.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s main office is located in California, Maryland, which sits along Chesapeake Bay on the shores of the Patuxent River. The area\u2019s residents can enjoy a relatively quiet, suburban lifestyle with plenty of parks and beaches nearby. The region\u2019s economy is largely fueled by government employers, partly thanks to its proximity to the nation\u2019s capital. Some of these major employers include military installations such as Andrews Air Force Base and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, as well as other large institutions such as the University System of Maryland and Exelon, the nation\u2019s largest utility company.<\/p>\n
