From the desk of 2022 RRC President Holli Woodward, CRS
As members of the Residential Real Estate Council, we have a local presence and a global reach that many members may not realize or be taking advantage of. Currently, we have RRC partners in Korea, Japan, Europe, South and Central America, and Canada. I am proud to say we have significantly increased our global presence over the past few years, despite the ongoing pandemic, and we continue to expand that reach in a variety of ways.
In May, the Council attended the UCI Conference in Sevilla, Spain, to share our perspective on recent trends in real estate, as well as welcome more than 100 new CRS Designees to our growing international RRC family. The Council also attended FIABCI World Real Estate Congress in June in Paris, France, to meet with and introduce RRC to future global partners from real estate and allied industries.
I am excited to announce that the Council is working diligently in collaboration with our Spanish-speaking partners to bring a Sell-a-bration® conference to Latin America in the fall. We look forward to additional growth in Southeast Asia, focusing on Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. The real estate industries in these countries need and have requested the advanced education and resources that RRC offers.
You, our RRC members, are ambassadors and are encouraged to bring your global contacts forward so the Council can pursue partnerships and expand our presence. In addition, if you are seeking out a referral partner internationally, you can utilize Find a CRS to search existing global members.
If you are unable to locate a global referral partner on the site or the app, reach out to crshelp@crs.com. This will not only allow the Council to help locate a professional in the area but also provide insight into areas we may pursue for future expansion.
As a member of RRC, you can assist your clients with their real estate needs all over the world. Membership has its privileges.
