The National Association of REALTORS has named the Pinellas International Council a Gold Council for the second year in a row.
With roughly 100 councils now existing at state and local associations across the country, competition for this honor was significant. As one of the newest councils in NAR this is a great recognition of the Board’s hard work and helpful support from PRO.

Local Expertise * Global Reach
.Marketing properties outside the country is significantly more challenging since they cannot be put into the MLS. Word of mouth and personal connections play a much bigger role when it comes to international properties. The Pinellas International Council (PIC) will give you a chance to share your properties with agents involved in international real estate transactions. Tech tips & refreshments (courtesy of affiliates) follow.

International Highlights from NAR
International real estate no longer is a niche industry, rather an important, growing sector of the real estate business. This is attributed to the expansion of globalization, which is having a powerful impact on real estate markets worldwide.
Home Purchases by Internationals
We live in a global marketplace. While all real estate is local, not all property buyers are. A significant share of home purchases are made by people whose primary residence is
outside of the U.S This year's Profile examines purchases of real estate in the United
States by international clients for the twelve-month period ending in March 2012. Total sales volume to international clients is estimated as $82.5 Billion in 2012, up from an estimated $66.4 Billion for the 12 months ending March 2011.
THANK YOU
Past President Annalisa
Weller led PIC to 2 NAR
Gold Council Awards as
President of the Board.
She worked with the
other founding
members to make PIC
the example pointed to
by NAR for other new
associations to copy. As
past president she
continues to work as an
active member of PIC
committees. PIC would
not be what it is today
without her.
Thank you for all your
hard work!
