Benefits and outcomes of NC REALTORS®’ Global Network include:
- International branding reinforcement
- Foreign investment into North Carolina markets and growing communities
- Virtual and face-to-face networking opportunities
- Education and specialized credential opportunities for NC REALTORS®
- International NAR membership

“We are excited to launch NC REALTORS® Global Network as a resource for our commercial and residential brokers. We look forward to providing networking opportunities and new business to our NC REALTOR® members through state and local connections, education opportunities, and supporting community-based efforts to reach the global marketplace,” stated Tony Harrington, ABR, AHWD, ALHS, CIPS, vice chair of the Economic Development Committee and head of the NC REALTORS® Global Task Force.
One of the first major goals for NC REALTORS®’ Global Network is recruiting a contingent of global-minded NC REALTORS® members and staff to attend MIPIM – the world’s leading real estate market with over 24,000 international attendees from 100 countries – between March 13 – 16, 2018. Having a presence at MIPIM is an opportunity for NC REALTORS® to represent North Carolina and raise the profile of real estate professionals in the state and in the eyes of international investors, legislators, and members, while reinforcing NC REALTORS®’ commitment to North Carolina’s future economic prospects.
