About CIPS

Global real estate opportunities are everywhere. People move to the U.S. from other countries every day and foreign-born individuals residing in the U.S. move to new markets. Americans in your current market may look to invest in property overseas. No matter which audience you cater to, the CIPS designation will provide you with the knowledge, research, network and tools to globalize and expand your business.

When you become a CIPS designee, you gain immediate access to business-enhancing products and services that are offered exclusively to CIPS designees.
