In the new world of globalized business, and as REALTORS®, it is becoming increasingly important to better understand how to navigate the growing global real estate market. For this reason, GBAR has developed a Global Council, and is offering variety of seminars and educational courses to help you navigate the global real estate climate in Greater Boston.
On May 30, we are hosting our first
International Connection seminar of 2018, on the topic of Cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, is becoming an alternative way to pay for regular things and thousands of merchants worldwide accept bitcoin including Microsoft & Expedia. Cryptocurrency has found its way to the real estate profession as consumers can even buy a house with bitcoin - as long as the buyer and seller agree on exchanging bitcoin for the property.
Our speakers will cover the basic frameworks of what distributed ledger technology is – and how it works. They will present examples of how cryptocurrency can be used in a real estate transaction and they will also highlight some of the concerns and risks associated with the volatility of cryptocurrencies!
We also have an upcoming education course for the
Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), focusing on Asia/Pacific International Real Estate. This course covers the social, economic, political and geographic characteristics s of major countries in the Asia/Pacific region, as well as the important characteristics of the real estate markets of the region including influential laws and real estate brokerage practices.
