Tuesday, November 8, 2011 Darlena Nelms has successfully completed the Transnational Referral Certification Course and has added an important skill set to her resume and can distinguish herself in the local market as a broker who can serve both the domestic and global real estate needs of buyers and sellers! Darlena is now able to easily locate and network with other "TRC agents/brokers around the globe and domestically, saving valuable time in locating a broker who also understands the value of cross-border referrals and is prepared to compensate for referrals. All TRC brokers/agents are listed in a searchable database at WorldProperties.com, the official website of the International Consortium of Real Estate Associations.
The International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA), representing over 45 leading national real estate associations around the globe, has made it easy for brokers and agents to earn referral fees on client referrals worldwide through its transnational referral system. Using this system, a broker simply finds a property listed by any of the participating brokers worldwide that meets his or her client's needs, enters into an agreement with the broker representing that property to receive a referral fee should the client complete a real estate transaction with the representative broker. Upon completion of the transaction and payment of the commission to the selling broker, the referring broker is paid a referral fee. The system is designed to provide brokers with all of the tools to enter into a legally binding agreement including a dispute resolution forum. "ICREA's primary mission is to create an environment in which our member associations can efficiently and profitably transact business internationally," said Thijs Stoffer, Chief Executive Officer of ICREA. "The Transnational Referral System introduced by ICREA has been developed in cooperation with its Member Associations. It provides real estate agents and brokers with a uniform code of conduct and standard forms and procedures for earning referral fees with member brokers throughout the world. It breeds confidence in the successful completion of and profit from an international transaction." Visit Worldproperties.com to explore further. Brokers can easily access the www.worldproperties.com intranet and select a broker in another country using a simple networking selection process. Everything can be done on line: entering into a referral agreement, referring the client and closing the referral process. Most real estate agents never considered referring clients to oversees brokers because of the challenge in locating an appropriate broker, the difficulty in finding suitable properties and because they never considered there to be any potential profit in it for them," said Stoffer. "www.worldproperties.com and the transnational referral system meet all of these challenges quickly, easily and profitably in 20 languages." Referral forms are accessed and completed electronically on the www.worldproperties.com website. Specific terms of referral agreements can be modified, in advance, to suit the agreeing brokers' needs and referring brokers typically maintain active contact with the selling broker to better promote the client’s needs as well as to stay current on the status of any transactions. "Our member brokers have often been disappointed in their attempts to complete international real estate transactions due to the difficulties in finding an appropriate broker with whom they can reach a mutually beneficial referral agreement/' added Darlena. "ICREA's transnational referral protocols remove this issue. Our members now have one standard protocol that they can use to transact business with brokers worldwide. When they sell the house of a customer who is moving abroad, they can help that customer find a home as well and be compensated for it." The International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA), sets uniform international standards of practice, which enable its members to profitably participate in real estate transactions across local, regional and international borders. ICREA represents 45 leading real estate associations located around the world. More information can be found on Worldproperties.com.
