Professional directories like Madison Who’s Who can help Realtors network with other realtors on a global basis. Why would a realtor want to network with another realtor internationally?  Because a new report shows that nearly one in five realtors has sold a home to an international client in the past year.  This is according to new research by the National Association of Realtors®. International buyers purchasing homes in the US appears to be a growing trend.  

Foreign buyers purchase homes across the United States, but 52 percent of sales in 2006 were concentrated in three states – Florida (26 percent), California (16 percent) and Texas (10 percent). The South attracted nearly half – 49 percent – of international buyers last year, while 31 percent purchased homes in the West.

The ability to network with other realtors worldwide will become an important tool for every realtor wanting to court the international buyer.  Professional directories like Madison Who’s Who give realtors the ability to do exactly that.
