Is it me, or does the world seem smaller than it used to be? Social media and mobile technology are helping to make things happening very far away seem quite close. And, as our view of the world gets smaller, many of us find it easier to think more broadly about our options for travel, relocation, retirement, and investment.
What does this mean to you?
It means your clients and prospects may also be thinking globally and could look to you to help them buy that vacation or retirement home somewhere off our shores. Are you ready and able to help them, should you get the call?
An investment in the CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist) Designation could put you in position to expand your business.
Global transactions are heating up, but they’re more complex than domestic transactions. From currency issues and financing to visa and tax laws, working with a REALTOR® who knows how to handle these differences can make or break a real estate transaction. Because of these nuances, it is essential to work with a knowledgeable and trusted professional. A CIPS designation offers the training, research, and network needed to execute successful deals with reduced risk. And, the CIPS designation is the only international designation recognized by the National Association of REALTORS®.
