Why Broward County?

• When the eyes of the world look to South Florida,
  they see the beautiful beaches and canals of Fort
  Lauderdale, the cosmopolitan appeal of Miami's
  South Beach, the millionaire elegance of Palm
  Beach and, even though it's to our north, the
  most famous theme park in the world, Orlando's
  Walt Disney World.
• Whether citizens from other lands are planning a
  vacation, purchasing a home abroad or
  establishing an American business link, the
  Sunshine State is always a choice destination.
  All across our vast and diverse country, and
  especially here in South Florida, real estate
  professionals are embracing the world - - earning
  the trust and confidence of foreign clients and
  helping them realize the American Dream.
• The International Real Estate Council of Greater
  Fort
• Lauderdale creates opportunities for South
  Florida
• Realtors to open a whole new world of
  opportunity,
• to build a global network, to cultivate
  concentric
• Relationships with foreign buyers/sellers, to
  explore
• foreign cultures and customs and to experience
  business adventures in foreign lands.
