 The Certified International Property Specialist
Network (CIPS Network) is the specialty membership group for international
practitioners of the National Association of REALTORS®, the world's largest
trade association. The CIPS Network is comprised of 2,300 real estate
professionals who deal in all types of real estate, but with one common element:
they are focused specifically on the "international" market. Whether traveling
abroad to put deals together, assisting foreign investors, helping local buyers
invest abroad, or serving an immigrant niche in local markets, CIPS members are
consumers' best resource to ensure they are dealing with a professional skilled
in the unique aspects of international real estate.
Through NAR's alliances with 81 national and regional Cooperating Associations
around the globe, the CIPS Network is attracting a growing number of members
from outside the US. The Network has over 2,000 CIPS designees (individuals who
have completed a week-long education program on international real estate) with
approximately another 300 CIPS Network members working to complete their course
work and other requirements for designation status. 300 CIPS Network members
live and work outside the US and belong to one of NAR's international partners.
You can locate a CIPS Network member through the
online directory at this site, using the search
features to locate someone with specific business, location and/or language

more. The majority of this site is open to the public, but there are a few pages
