CIPS Class in Buenos Aires

CIPS Class in Buenos Aires

Today was spent in a CIPS “International Real Estate for Local Markets” Class in Buenos Aires. There has not been a lot of opportunity to find out about market conditions today. Hopefully that will be remedied tonight and tomorrow. I have met many fine Argentinean professionals. There are about 250 of them in the class.

I have received a gift from Silvano Geler (silvano@geler.com) of 5 books that cover the real estate process from beginning to end in all of the countries that speak Spanish. These books are in Spanish. I will be reviewing them in future blogs as I have a chance to read them.

The class is taking place in a Pavilion at the Hippodrome of San Isidro. It is a beautiful facility devoted to horses. It is sponsored by the Colegio de Martilleres y Corredores Publicos. This is a beautiful facility dedicated to horses and horse racing outside of the city of Buenos Aires.

During the break I had the pleasure to talk to Francisco Rodolfo Pesserl (Francisco@pessrl.com.br) of COFECI in Brazil. They are developing a Multiple Listing system that will cover all of Brazil like Realtor.com in the USA. This will eventually connect to Worldproperties.com which strives to become a worldwide MLS.

I will try to get some URLs for the organizations and books mentioned in this blog.
