Globalization continues to significantly affect the U.S. real estate industry, with impacts beyond large transactions in major markets. Foreign investment occurs in both the commercial and residential sectors in every state and in markets of all sizes, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). To help equip agents with the knowledge and skills needed to adopt a global mindset, KCRAR is offering the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation course in its Leawood classroom between April 15 and April 21.
The series will offer the courses needed for a CIPS designation over five days, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
- April 15: Global Real Estate: Transaction Tools
- April 16: Global Real Estate: Local Markets
- April 17: Asia/Pacific and International Real Estate
- April 20: The Americas and International Real Estate
- April 21: Europe and International Real Estate
Additionally, students will be invited to an optional networking happy hour the evening of April 17.
KCRAR is bringing in CIPS certified instructors Furhad Waquad and Carla Kidd to teach the course series, which will be offered for nine hours of elective CE credit for Kansas and Missouri. KCRAR members have the exclusive opportunity to attend for just $399 (compared to $755 to take all five sessions online from NAR).
This designation course series aims to offer agents the knowledge, research, network and tools to globalize their businesses. Register for this course series in the KCRAR Campus.
