The Charlotte “International Real Estate for Local Markets” came off quite well last week. There were only 5 students; but they were all from international backgrounds and the interaction and shared knowledge was awesome. There were 2 students from the UK, 1 from the British Virgin Islands, 1 from Shanghai and 1 whose wife is from the Dominican Republic.
It is regrettable that more people did not take advantage of this offering in a city that has so many international residents and businesses and so few international REALTORS®. In times like these it is a little hard to justify an expense like this. Even agents playing the “one more house” game may be afraid that there will not be enough “one more houses”. The CIPS program does not just give an opportunity for more houses. It broadens ones whole outlook on life, the world and the real estate business.
The finance class will be offered in Raleigh in October. I hope many of you will be there to share in the camaraderie and mind expansion that will take place.
