Global real estate practitioners appreciate that across the world, people and markets differ. It’s a point that’s repeatedly emphasized in the CIPS designation coursework.

It’s also true that the world is constantly changing, and it’s essential to stay abreast of new developments, particularly when a significant, unexpected force, like a global pandemic, imposes dramatic adjustments.

Sadly, more difficult chapters may remain before the pandemic concludes. The impacts to date are too vast to capture here. Still, it’s essential to stay connected and informed about global developments.

This issue of Global Perspectives provides a collection of regional snapshots touching on a smattering of topics of interest to global real estate practitioners. It’s also intended to remind CIPS designees that you can always rely upon the designation courses covering the same regions.

Did you know that these regionally-focused courses are updated frequently? If it’s been several years since you completed your CIPS designation, you’ll undoubtedly discover new and helpful content.

Each regional course introduces the economies, cultural customs, and real estate business practices in numerous countries throughout each region. Students also learn a valuable framework for conducting country assessments independently.

Hopefully, you’ll find the summaries in this issue interesting and beneficial. NAR Global prides itself in being your partner in accessing the global real estate market and encourages you to explore all the resources offered to support your success.
