Prepackaged Sales Meetings: Focus on International
Did you know that...
- 1 in 5 REALTORS® has been involved in an international real estate transaction?
- The bulk of “international” business takes place in local markets?
- Potential business opportunities are being lost because your agents do not understand the elements of an international real estate transaction?
- Your sales agents need a base level of knowledge to help them attract (and keep) international business, which often comes about from a former client whose needs have expanded beyond the domestic level?
NAR has created a series of modules to help you provide - through your regularly scheduled sales meetings - an introduction to these questions and other global market transaction elements.
Available Modules (in PDF):
These modules require no special skills to facilitate. Each module includes easy instructions for broker, facilitator or trainer to use, and ready to copy handouts for agents. Also included are group exercises and questions for discussion. It's easy - just download the document and you are ready to go!
Keep in mind that these modules will not make your agents “international experts.” (Click here for information on becoming a Certified International Property Specialist>>) Rather this information is designed to provide agents with enough basic information on a range of topics so that when the potential client walks through the door who:
- is looking to buy a vacation home in Mexico,
- has recently immigrated to the U.S. and is unfamiliar with U.S. industry practices,
- has recently inherited a property in Europe,
- wants to invest in an London flat to house a child studying abroad for a year or, a U.S. flat for a student coming to the U.S.,
- is a U.S. military spouse from Iraq, Germany, Korea, or any number of countries where U.S. military personnel is based and may marry local citizens,
- received in inquiry from oversees about a new development, or
- dozens of other possible scenarios.
We hope you’ll find these Toolkits useful in your sales agent training program, and we welcome your feedback.
