Lay the Foundation of Your Global Business: Become Active in the Global Business Council

By: Mousa Wakileh, Realtor®, CIPS, Coldwell Banker Realty

RASM members who are active in the Global Business Council are more educated and aware of the current global market. They are able to take advantage of the many opportunities within our local market, as well as a fair share of referrals in other markets in various parts of the world.

EDUCATIONAL AND NETWORKING EVENTS TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH YOUR GLOBAL BUSINESS COUNCIL!

The Global Country Spotlight Series takes you on a virtual journey across the globe to explore different countries. Learn their history and culture, understand how their real estate market works and how to make connections in that country, and here in U.S.A. The Global Spotlight Series is FREE for GBC members. Non-GBC members who want to attend will be charged a one-time $25 fee and be given a free GBC membership for 2022. The Spotlight series will consist of virtual and in-person elements. All of the in-person sessions will be followed by networking and wine & cheese.

Typically, once a month, the GBC hosts an educational event to empower its members with tools and knowledge to create and maintain a larger share of the global real estate economy. Members can network with other like-minded global agents and educate themselves on the intricacies of transactions for both international buyers and sellers, as well as U.S. clients investing across the globe. Such events are usually well attended by key business partners and affiliates that are needed to ensure a smooth transaction and possibly a great leads source.
