Value to the Consumer
In today's market, real estate is complex enough when the transaction is local. Adding an international element to the deal makes it even more so. ICREA helps consumers understand the global market business practices and can assist both buyers and sellers.
Using online resources, buyers and sellers can learn about how real estate is transacted in the country of interest, so they are prepared for the differences from the practice in their home country. Buyers can search for properties among more than 3 million listings, and locate a realtor / broker who will work in a cooperative manner with a realtor / broker in another country to ensure the best possible service. Sellers can locate a broker who will market their properties to a worldwide market.
This is especially important for sellers with distinctive properties that will attract buyers from around the globe in search of a vacation, resort, or luxury property, or simply one that's unique within its local market. ICREA's greatest value to consumers, however, is the ICREA network of brokers - more than 2 million - who are affiliated with leading national organizations and adhere to a code of ethics that commits them to professionalism and service to their customers and clients.
