Global Business Council

Get Involved and Travel with the GBC

By: Glo Reber, Realtor®, Sotheby’s International Realty

The RASM Global Business Council has a full year of exciting activities planned! So many new opportunities for our members. Our membership is up to 237 and growing!

Global Business Council members were invited to get together for the Greek Glendi festival to meet as a group and enjoy the entertainment.

A Canadian workshop was hosted at RASM with the Canadian Real Estate Association. It was a full presentation of financial and currency information, legal information and the benefits of joining the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).

February 12 was a special time as the inbound trade mission of SIRA, the Spanish International Realty Alliance, joined Realtors® from RASM, Pinellas County and the Greater Tampa area to exchange ideas and make connections between the two countries.

TRAVEL WITH THE GBC

We are hopeful that some of our regularly scheduled programming will continue to stay on course for us this year, including our outbound trade missions. There is an exciting trade mission going to Belize in June from the 19th through the 21st. That will be a great opportunity to connect with like-minded agents to exchange ideas. The trade mission will learn about investing, living or retiring in Belize. It will provide a fabulous venue to meet potential business partners. All that plus time to enjoy the pleasures of the beautiful country.

In August there will be another trade mission going back to Cartagena, Colombia, for another exciting opportunity to attend their Fedelonjas Congreso. The Fedelonjas is their equivalent of the National Association of REALTORS®. It is a unique time for outreach among International Realtor® members in Colombia to work as a united group.

The Global Business Council is an excellent opportunity for Realtors® to participate at a cost of only $25 per year. That allows you to attend most of the seminars at no cost. Members have an opportunity to network with other Realtors®, expand potential networks of overseas agents and make connections with potential clients from abroad. The learning skills that are provided by the Global Business Council assist in making the networking an easy and fun opportunity. Join us in making your world grow!
