NAR (National Association of Realtor's) Orlando Expo

Just having returned from Orlando (and yes, the weather was much nicer than here in Chicago!) and the NAR Annual Expo, I’m happy to say it was a very beneficial trip. I was named the 2009 NAR President’s Liaison to Costa Rica. What does this mean? Essentially, I’m the “real estate Ambassador” to the real estate association’s in Costa Rica. My role is to assist them in their needs as they relate to NAR and offer guidance/support. Costa Rica does not require a license to practice real estate, but there are real estate “certificates’, loads of education, and the ability to advertise that the professional is a member of NAR and subscribes to the Code of Ethics. When working with a “real estate agent” in Costa Rica, it is best to look for those agents who are members one of the two associations CCCBR or CRGAR and NAR.

Beyond my reappointment, I was able to establish more relationships throughout Latin American including Guatemala. I look forward to visiting them and presenting to their members “The Importance of Professionalism, Licensing and Code of Ethics”.

As well as, I met up with my friends Mitch Creekmore of Stewart Title Latin America and Nicole Pavisic of American Invesco International then headed to the Animal Kingdom w/my neice! That was way more fun than I expected! I highly recommend The Bug’s Life and The Lion King presentations! Oh, but the ride to the airport was $60! Painful!
