Data is a powerful tool, with infinite real estate applications. First and foremost, you can use data to evaluate properties, prices, current inventory, and local market trends. After all, whether your clients are buying or selling, their top priority is getting the best price.

International business and investment includes countless opportunities for commercial and residential agents. Much of the "action" takes place via economic development agencies, bi-national chambers of commerce, and similar groups. Here are additional resources for identifying touch-points that could be driving global demand for real estate in your market.
