(ICREA no longer exists. The activities have been taken over by FNAIM, the French organization, including the TRC course and designation. There will be a new course coming early 2019, including country modules. This will be marketed globally. WorldProperties.com (WP) continues to be managed by Proxio with close support from some former ICREA member organizations. WP will soon no longer reference ICREA. All agents, TRC or not, who buy Proxio services will be in WP database. Check with your local association MLS if it uses the Proxio platform ... if so, you are a member of Proxio and are automatically in WP!)

Why Participate in International Referrals?
Real estate professionals prepared to work with brokers and agents in other countries to give and receive client referrals can earn more income, provide an important service to their client, and keep the client as a source of future business.
o Have you had a client who needs help in buying property outside the country…perhaps a vacation or retirement home?
o Do you know someone who has inherited family property located in another country?
o Have friends whose child will be studying abroad for a year and think buying an apartment instead of renting might be a good investment?
o Know of someone being relocated outside the country for a short- or long-term job?
Even if you answered “no” to these questions, globalization and a mobile society make each of these scenarios more and more common. These types of transactions do occur every day, and someone’s getting that business. Why not YOU?
Transnational Referral Service and Certification at WorldProperties.com offers brokers and agents a vital service with these BENEFITS:
Do the Math
Making money on referrals is simple. Let’s say you refer a client to a broker in another country who buys a property priced at US$200,000. With a referral agreement, you could be paid US$1,500--simply for having passed along the client.[1] And if you think you don’t want to be the one to pay US$1,500 for a referral, remember…you’re keeping US$4,500…income you would not have been able to get without the referral! [1] Example based on agent earning 3% commission on the sales price and agreeing to share 25% of commission received with the referring agent. All specific financial arrangements are between the referring and receiving brokers.
