No words can describe the major impact in accelerating my career in real estate since becoming involved with your International Real Estate Specialist Program.   Upon listing a high end property in Florida and becoming an I.R.E.S. agent, I have been given credibility to market high end homes on a worldwide basis through your website and international contacts.  This edge has been instrumental in obtaining high end listings, and has become a significant tool to save on local advertising costs.  Therefore, as a RE/MAX agent in Canada, I am fully and completely endorsing your program as a leading edge innovative approach to international marketing and would encourage RE/MAX International to adopt your program as a recognized certification standard. 

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great presentation today.  I have to be honest, I see a lot of people trying to promote many different things and most of it is worthless.  You caught my attention today.  I listened to everything you said and it all made a ton of sense.  It made me realize I haven’t even begun to practice real estate and that I have really limited myself to the Houston market.  I never want to grow stale and I always want to be innovative.  My goals are set very high and I am an extremely motivated guy.  This is something that truly excites me.  I have no doubt in my mind I can make an impact nationally and internationally and I want to.  I look forward to attending the class on the 6^th.  Anything you can suggest to me from now until then to further educate and prepare me, please let me know.  Today might have been the day that will change my life forever and it’s because of you.  I am very excited about this opportunity and I look forward to developing a lasting relationship.  It’s time for me to take things to the next level.  I am ready.  

I have a friend in Cape Cod with two one million dollar properties and he wants me to sell them!  He also wants to buy two retirement homes in New Hampshire!  Thank you I.R.E.S. for giving me this opportunity!!!

Although I am still working on my certification and have not placed property listings in your magazine yet, my clients love the spirit of “global marketing” as a way I work my listings. I.R.E.S. certification is a huge thing for my credibility and separates me from the others with little to no difficulty. I picked up the right to advertise in the book a $900,000 ranch here in MO today against other realtors because it will sell if presented as an international coop. LOVE THE PROGRAM!

We joined I.R.E.S. recently, and already it has helped us get a listing. We have also found an I.R.E.S. agent in Toronto, Canada with whom we are promoting our listings locally. I think it will be a good relationship with him and we are working to find more I.R.E.S. agents in other areas.  We hope I.R.E.S. expands to all parts of RE/MAX International, so that we can truly benefit from having a world wide network, and world wide franchise.

Taking the I.R.E.S. class has definitely made me knowledgeable in selling real estate in others countries. It has made be confident in presenting this opportunity to my clients. In networking, I came across Cap Cana in Dominican Republic and established a relationship with their top sales agent. He was very excited about working with me in promoting Cap Cana here in Texas. .  Olivier and Audree, in closing, I am grateful and excited about the opportunity you have opened for us as RE/MAX agents. I love to travel and you have just given me more excuses to do so. I will be visiting London in January and hope to make more friends in the international market. I will be in China on vacation the end of October ….. wondering about real estate there… probably not possible. Well, I still have the rest of the world.
