Realty World® to promote Florida’s burgeoning real estate industry at the 13th edition of the International Property Show 2017

According to ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s year-end report, 2017 will be a buyers’ market in Florida, due to an abundance of luxury options available. Sellers are expected to reduce their prices, particularly in the $1 million to $5 million range. In wake of the emerging realty market, Realty World® - the leading real estate brokerage franchise network and a global leader in the real estate market will participate at the 13th edition of the International Property Show (IPS), which will be held from April 2nd to 4th this year at the Dubai World Trade Center.

Since its founding in 1973, Realty World® has grown to be one of the most recognisable names in the real estate industry. The company has over 300 offices with thousands of associates in North, Central, South America and South-eastern Europe.

“It is a pleasure to have Realty World® at the International Property Show. The Realty World® Global Referral Center suits those with an entrepreneurial spirit who are looking for a powerful but flexible business model to aid them in the growth of their business. With 43 years of experience and by being a leading real estate brand, in pursuit of its mission, Realty World® have developed alliances directly by working closely with a USA network of business development partners. Their goal is to promote Florida as a premier business destination to a targeted audience of corporate decision makers and encourage them to select the state for their next location, relocation or expansion project,” said Dawood Al Shezawi, CEO, Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions, organizers of the International Property Show.

The Realty World® Global Referral Center has championed Florida as the premier location for business expansion and relocation with a high interest both nationally and internationally as a top state in the US for business and has resulted in a significant number of new jobs and capital investments.

It is noted that Florida’s multi-model infrastructure supports more than 19.9 million residents and nearly 97.3 million tourists each year. From road to rail, to airports, seaports and spaceports, Florida connects people, products and ideas to the world. In addition, South Florida is one of the world’s top destinations for international investment. Foreign buyers purchased $6.2 billion of South Florida residential properties in 2016, up from $6.1 billion a year ago, according to the 2016 Profile of International Home Buyers of MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI) conducted by MIAMI and NAR.

“The Realty World® Global Referral Center understands what it takes to do business and stands ready to welcome potential investors to Florida or any part of the USA with the talented workforce, top-ranked infrastructure, global connectivity and a great quality of life. We are confident that their presence is going to add value and credibility to the show,” added Dawood Al Shezawi.

Supported by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), International Property Show is a platform for both international and local real estate markets to showcase their residential, commercial and mixed-use real estate products and to conduct serious transactional business. The 13th edition of the International Property Show is expected to be the biggest since its return, with over 200 exhibitors from 50 countries to participate.

The International Property Show also provides consumers and real estate professionals from Dubai and around the world to enter into direct transactions and serves as a ‘one-stop shop' opportunity to capitalise on the best property deals locally and internationally.
