Jorge Villaran, from Real Estate Network for America, attends 2009 International Real Estate Congress in Miami, Florida

Miami, Florida (June 12, 2009) – Jorge Villaran was among more than 500 Realtors who traveled from around the United States and the world to learn about the latest international trends, how to market their properties, establish international business relationships, and continue their professional development at the 14th Annual International Real Estate Congress in Miami, Florida June 9 – 11, 2009

“This is an outstanding program for anyone involved in any phase of real estate services – residential, commercial, investment, lending, legal and professional services of any kind in the United States and with neighboring countries and cities,” Villaran said. (Or add your own quotes.)

This year’s conference brought together an array of nationally and internationally known real estate industry experts, forecasters, and national speakers to address the hottest industry issues, including factors that are influencing trends in international real estate investment and development. High-level delegations from approximately 10 countries and 30 U.S. cities traveled to Miami to network with real estate practitioners from the United States and around the globe.

The conference provided an “excellent opportunity” to reconnect with colleagues from other areas and to maximize business opportunities for inbound and outbound investment. “I also was impressed by the rapid globalization of our industry and the movement to use new technology, such as Immobel.com, Terrafly.com, iMapp, and WorldProperties.com, which serve as models for information, marketing, services, and data exchange worldwide,” he said.

The conference and expo is hailed as “the premier international real estate event of the year” and included a full day, sold out Real Estate Expo, Real Estate Forecast and Markets to Target for Foreign Investment with NAR senior economist Dr. Lawrence Yun, 7 Key Marketing Strategies to Attract International Customers with author Valeria Grunbaum, Gala Receptions and attendees from all over the United States and Latin American as well as Europe. The conference will be held in November 2010 in Miami once again.
