The demand for Realtors® who specialize in international real estate is greater than ever and is being driven by many factors:

• Relocations into and out of the U.S. by both domestic and foreign companies
  
  
• U.S. retirees are purchasing overseas
  
  
• Immigrant purchases of commercial or business properties in the U.S., which also result in residential purchases
  
  
• Foreign investor purchases of U.S. real estate, and U.S. investor purchases of foreign real estate

According to projections made by the Census Bureau, the U.S. population is expected to increase from 273 million in 1999 to 571 million by 2100, representing a 109% increase—mostly driven by immigration. In fact, nearly 300 million immigrants are expected to come to the U.S. between 1999 and 2100. These immigrants represent a unprecedented long-term business opportunities for Realtors® both in the U.S. and abroad through referrals with foreign practitioners.
