Real Estate is a Global Business

By: Denise Ricciotti, RASM Professional Development Manager

No matter if you practice real estate in your hometown or around the world, you will be impacted by the fact that global real estate opportunities are everywhere. People move to the United States from other nations, foreign-born Americans relocate to new markets, and Americans look to buy in other countries.

Regardless of which clientele you serve, RASM provides education to help you work with foreign clients and provides business tools that assist you in expanding your business globally.
