Global Business Council/Real Estate

Welcome to the Global Business Council/Global Real Estate

The Global Business Council helps Realtor® Members and Affiliate Business Partners better serve international clients by providing educational and networking programs and developing connections with organizations focused on expanding global business in Southwest Florida.

Global Events

Global Councils provide members with unique opportunities to participate in globally themed education, programming and networking. Whether it's a seminar on "How to do Business with Canada" or hosting an Inbound Trade Mission with an NAR Cooperating Association, don't miss out on the chance to expand your knowledge and your business.

Trade Missions

One of the attributes of a strong Global Business Council is to be involved in organizing either an inbound or outbound trade mission. Trade Missions are international trips organized for the purpose of exploring international business opportunities, learning about a foreign market, and building relationships.

Global Real Estate

Whether you're catering to newcomers moving to the U.S., foreign-born residents relocating within the country, or Americans buying properties abroad, partnering with your local and State Association through NAR Global puts you in connection with a network of qualified Realtors®. We provide the education you need to effectively work with international clients and offer the essential business tools to help you expand your reach globally. Join us to broaden your professional landscape and capitalize on the vast opportunities in global real estate.

Global real estate opportunities are everywhere. People move to the U.S. from other countries, foreign-born individuals residing in the U.S. move to new markets, and Americans look to purchase overseas. No matter which audience you cater to, your local and State Association with NAR Global connects you to a network of qualified Realtors®, provides education to help you work with international clients, and delivers the business tools to help you globalize your business.

NAR provides specialized training and support for Realtors® who work in this niche market.

Florida Realtors® opens doors to the world with events designed to increase your international influence.

More buyers from around the globe purchase real estate in Florida than in any other U.S. state. That's why Florida Realtors® is dedicated to building and nurturing international ties.
