Libert Named Consulate Liaison for Illinois REALTORS®

EXIT Strategy Realty's Broker/Owner to Work with Bahamas Consulate in Chicago


CHICAGO, IL (Grassroots Newswire) November 8, 2016 --
Illinois REALTORS® has named Nick Libert as one of a select few members who work with foreign consulates to promote the state’s real estate business.

Libert, with EXIT Strategy Realty in Chicago, was selected to represent the association as it works to build ties with the Bahamas. The partnership is through the association’s Consulate General Liaison program, which matches members with experience in international real estate with foreign consulates.

“Increasingly, the business of real estate is international,” said Doug Carpenter, Illinois REALTORS® 2017 president. “Our members know the market well, and for a foreign investor working with a consulate office, having our expertise is invaluable.”

Now in its second year, the program has grown to include liaisons working with China, India, Philippines, Great Britain and Poland. Libert will work with the Bahamas consulate based in Chicago.  In all, the program has forged connections with 19 consulates in Illinois, representing countries on six continents.

Consulates are important links between the home country and the U.S. Overseen by a Consul General, these offices provide varying levels of assistance for their citizens while in the U.S. and also help foster commercial, cultural, and economic relations.

Illinois REALTORS® has been a longtime supporter of building international trade in the state. It annually participates in the MIPIM real estate conference in Cannes, France, one of the largest in the world, and has sponsored training for members to obtain their Certified International Property Specialist designation.

“I am excited to be able to help market the state as a destination for foreign investment,” said Libert. “Often, when people start thinking about investing overseas, they aren’t sure where to turn. This program gives them the resources they need to start making decisions that can build the state’s economy.”

"I have so enjoyed going to the Bahamas over the years with friends and on business, and this is a perfect tie in to my recent graduation from the CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist) designation class in August," Libert concluded.
