Let’s face it. You’re in this business to make money. Kids to raise, mortgage to pay, retirement account……well, maybe next year. And lately, it has not been easy.
You are doing everything by the book. Working your farm. Telling ten. You have your lock box key, your blackberry, your web site. You have everything it seems but prospects.
You know there are deals out there. Someone has to do them. Why not you?
Well, why not you?
There have been changes in the Real Estate market. Changes in who is buying, where they come from and what they are looking for.
In 2007 the CEO of the National Association of REALTORS, Dale Stinton acknowledged that nearly 50% of all US real estate transactions that year were to foreigners or immigrants.
- 33% of foreign buyers are European
- 24% of foreign buyers are Asian
- 40 million US residents were born in another country
- 40% of first time homebuyers between now and 2020 will be Hispanic.
Most of that business is being done by only 33% of REALTORS®. You might even suppose that they have not been eager to spread the word about just how they do it. So you were right all along. There are deals out there.
And now the word is out.
The playing field has been leveled.
You don’t speak another language?
Don’t even have a current passport?
Don’t know a living soul in another country?
Don’t worry about it.
You can still do business with International buyers, and help your own loyal clients find the real estate that meets their needs anywhere in the world. Without leaving your own market.
You can be a successful International Real Estate Professional by being an expert on your own market and by harnessing the power of other Real Estate Professionals around the world who can leverage their relationships with their clients to send you business and earn commissions for both of you. Then you will not only know someone in another country, you will have a friend for life!
Local buyers who prefer to see local listings in a language other than English? No surprise, since nearly 30% of US residents do speak another language at home.
Guess who they can count on for homebuying information now?
It really is just that easy.
In fact, you might get so excited you’ll want to tell everyone you know. Well, maybe not just yet...
Go ahead, join those in the know.
Real Estate - it’s not what it used to be. It’s better!
