Florida Association of Realtors Convention Orlando 2009 - International Day

Florida Association of Realtors Convention Orlando 2009 - International Day

Today was International Day at the FAR Convention in Orlando! I just returned from an eventful day packed with informative sessions back to back!

I started the day with a four hour session of "Fundamentals of Commercial Real Estate", an area of real estate that in my opinion provides a lot of synergy with International Real Estate.

International Networking Florida Association of Realtors Convention 2009 The International luncheon followed with wonderful food from around the world and great networking opportunities with other international Realtors from around Florida and as far away as the Bahamas! I have a sweet tooth so with the English Trifle and the German Black Forest Cake I felt like I was in heaven.

There are some good news coming from FAR regarding International Real Estate among them plans for an "inbound trade mission" still in its initial planning stage but exciting nevertheless!

The highlight of the International Operations Committee for me personally was a presentation by Tony Macaluso who has been advocating for years for a special "Silver Visa" for foreign nationals who want to bring their retirement money to the US and the Florida real estate market to live and enjoy.

Finally, I met Tim Kinzler, who has been a Facebook friend of mine for some time, in person and had the opportunity and privilege to attend one of his sessions about International Trade Missions.

Now it's time to sit down and "digest" all this new information and reflect on the new connections made today!
