  GLOBAL: Earning CIPS gives REALTORS® leg up  
 

Next CIPS course institute begins this week

Besides earning significantly more money than the average agent, according to NAR research, CIPS designees have access to additional marketing tools, ongoing training, and a global network of referral-minded REALTORS who are prepared to serve clients from other countries and other cultures.

It can be overwhelming and even intimidating to venture outside of the familiar. However, with the world becoming more and more connected, being prepared to serve people from across the globe, is vital whether you have a client looking to invest abroad or someone oversees making an inquiry on one of your local listings.
