Webinar Global

You're Registered!
Over the last three years, foreign buyers have consistently purchased over $100 billion in residential property. How many of those sales were you a part of? This course will help you determine if participating more fully in the global market is the right path for you. Students will gain the ability to define an international customer and understand the impact these buyers and sellers have on local real estate markets. The class will illustrate how international clients are already active in Florida, while also covering the key elements involved in an international real estate transaction. Participants will learn to calculate the effects of currency fluctuations, describe the specific regulations that impact foreign buyers and sellers, and identify the resources available to REALTORS® who choose to work in this market.

Registration closes at 2PM on 11/7. A link will be sent shortly thereafter.
