Property Status Duplicating Properties on WordPress Site

I am working with this site: http://f9properties.com/ and on the home page it has an area for “Featured Properties” and it has all these different attributes that define the properties including “Property Types”, “Property Cities” and “Property Status”. In each property, within the WordPress Dashboard, there is a way to check that you want the property to be featured and appear on the home page.

The problem is this, if the property has more than one type of status, in this case like “For Sale” and “For Lease”, the property shows up twice in the Featured Properties area. From what I can tell, the code for the Featured Area is this:

function Featured_Properties_Widget(){
    $widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'Featured_Properties_Widget', 'description' => __('Displays Random or Recent Featured Properties','framework') );
    $this->WP_Widget( 'Featured_Properties_Widget', __('RealHomes - Featured Properties','framework'), $widget_ops );
}


function widget($args, $instance) { 

    extract($args);

    $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);     

    if ( empty($title) ) $title = false;    

    $count = intval( $instance['count']);           
    $sort_by = $instance['sort_by'];    


    $featured_args = array(
                        'post_type' => 'property',
                        'posts_per_page' => $count,
                        'meta_query' => array(
                                            array(
                                                'key' => 'REAL_HOMES_featured',
                                                'value' => '1',
                                                'compare' => 'LIKE'
                                            )
                                        )
                        );

    //Order by
    if($sort_by == "random"):
        $featured_args['orderby']= "rand";
    else:
        $featured_args['orderby']= "date";
    endif;          

    $featured_query = new WP_Query($featured_args);

    echo $before_widget;

    if($title):
        echo $before_title;
        echo $title;
        echo $after_title;
    endif;

    if($featured_query->have_posts()):
        ?>
        <ul class="featured-properties">
            <?php
            while($featured_query->have_posts()):
                $featured_query->the_post();
                ?>
                <li>
                    <?php
                    if(has_post_thumbnail()){
                        ?>
                        <figure>
                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                                <?php the_post_thumbnail('grid-view-image');?>
                            </a>
                        </figure>
                        <?php
                    }
                    ?>
                    <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

            endwhile;
            ?>
        </ul>
        <?php
        wp_reset_query();
    else:
        ?>
        <ul class="featured-properties">
            <?php
            echo '<li>';
            _e('No Featured Property Found!', 'framework');
            echo '</li>';
            ?>
        </ul>
        <?php   
    endif;

    echo $after_widget;
}


function form($instance) 
{   
    $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, array( 'title' => 'Featured Properties', 'count' => 1 , 'sort_by' => 'random' ) );

    $title= esc_attr($instance['title']);   
    $count =  $instance['count'];   
    $sort_by = $instance['sort_by'];

        ?>
        <p>
            <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>"><?php _e('Widget Title', 'framework'); ?></label>
            <input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" />

    return $instance;

}

}
?>

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
