CIPS Course: Europe & International RE (6CE) (2DAY)
Wednesday, March 8, 2023 6:00 PM - Thursday, March 9, 2023 9:00 PM (EST)
Description
Global real estate opportunities are everywhere. People move to the U.S. from other countries every day and foreign-born individuals residing in the U.S. move to new markets. Americans in your current market may look to invest in property overseas. No matter which audience you cater to, the CIPS designation will provide you with the knowledge, research, network and tools to globalize and expand your business.
The CIPS course curriculum offers you hands-on experience with international real estate transactions, as well as five full days of study focusing on the critical aspects of transnational transactions, including:
*Currency and exchange rate issues
*Cross-cultural relationships
*Regional market conditions
*Investment performance
*Tax issues
*And more!
This course introduces real estate professionals to the basic skills and knowledge necessary to facilitate international transactions with European clients, and is designed to benefit both experienced real estate professionals as well as those just getting started.
