Networking: Bringing the NAR Members to the World Stage

With nearly $200 billion of foreign investment flowing into the United States last year, there is no doubt that opportunities are everywhere for real estate professionals involved in the transaction side. Positioning your expertise in your market can make a world of difference in gaining this business.

In March, NAR returned to MIPIM, one of the largest international real estate events in the world, with an enlarged pavilion and United States presence. MIPIM is considered the world property marketplace, bringing together more than 23,000 developers, brokers, government authorities and other real estate professionals from 89 countries, including 2,400 exhibiting companies and nearly 5,000 investors. MIPIM offers unrivalled exposure to a great number of development projects worldwide along with capital resources.

The NAR-United States Pavilion featured 8 exhibiting partners and 3 sponsors in an expanded footprint on the event floor, along with an area where representatives from each partner market delivered presentations on local development and real estate. These partners seized the opportunity to drive attention to economic development in U.S. markets while reinforcing the REALTOR® brand on an international stage. The NAR-United States Pavilion provided meeting space and a home-base for NAR members, enabling real-time business to be conducted and helping members grow valuable relationships with potential future clients.

By the time the fourth and final day of the event rolled around, it was clear the conference was abuzz with talk of the United States being at MIPIM with greater presence. NAR will continue to be committed to commercial members and promoting growth and development of communities in locations across the country, along with the educational and networking power of our affiliate organizations. As a NAR member, you benefit from this exposure – here and abroad. As you make plans for 2017, keep in mind there is a significantly discounted NAR member rate for MIPIM registration, saving you hundreds of dollars. Whether MIPIM is in your future or not, the opportunities that come from broadening your horizon on an international level will continue to be there.
