Approximately 50 REALTORS® from Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® (CTAR) have earned the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation, placing them among 3,500 elite real estate professionals in over 45 countries. The designation was awarded to them by the National Association of REALTORS® for completing rigorous coursework devoted to learning international real estate practices and demonstrating proficiency in international business.
The CIPS designation is synonymous with advanced expertise, a global perspective, and distinct understanding of a global buyer. The CTAR designees have the knowledge and resources to efficiently work with international buyers, including U.S. residents looking to invest overseas, foreign buyers purchasing in the United States, as well as recent immigrants who might be unfamiliar with real estate transaction practices in the United States.
