MARIA BIRGY ATTENDS VIP LUNCHEON AT THE UNITED NATIONS

Arlington, VA: Maria Birgy, Relocation Director for Legends Realty Group, just returned from FIABCI-USA’s Annual VIP Luncheon at the United Nations in New York. The luncheon celebrated the International Real Estate Federation’s, or FIABCI’s, Special Consultative Status to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Over 130 leading international real estate professionals from around the world and representatives from the UN were in attendance. Birgy partook in an unparalleled opportunity to network and do business on a truly global level.

“Robert M. White Jr.’s presentation on the global outlook for commercial properties and currencies was very informative, especially with recent events,” said Birgy. “Mr. White noted that 10% of US buyers in 2007 were foreign and 70% of European buyers are global buyers with the number of global buyers in the US on the increase.  As this happens, the whole world is competing for the same buyers. These statistics are invaluable when trying to market US properties to foreign buyers. It also shows that we need to start thinking outside of American boundaries and attract Europeans and Asians to the US real estate market,” expanded Birgy.

Through its individual, company, and professional and association members in 68 countries, FIABCI members have access to more than 2 million potential contacts. FIABCI-USA (the US Chapter) is the only international real estate organization representing the entire spectrum of the real estate industry in the US. FIABCI-USA’s mission is to open the international community to its members on a local, national, and international level, so that they may develop a broad base of real estate contacts that will translate into increased business opportunities and ultimately financial success.
