Global Investment Council Welcomes National Association of REALTORS® Delegates from the Philippines

"We are so excited to welcome the NAR Delegates from the Philippines to the Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS®," said SCCAOR CEO Neil Collins during a presentation at the event. "SCCAOR is dedicated to working with the international community to better understand trends in the global real estate landscape, and we are proud to be a local resource for our multicultural members."

One the delegates in attendance was Evangeline Yia, the VP for International Affairs at the Chamber of Real Estate & Builders' Associations (CREBA) in the Philippines. As a liaison between the Philippines and NAR, she discussed her positive outlook on the relationship between NAR and REALTORS® in the Philippines.

"NAR will really help REALTORS® in the Philippines level up their professionalism and code of ethics," Yia said. "With NAR's help, we are lifting the bar of excellence."

The attendees at the event enjoyed traditional cuisine from the Philippines, and many guests wore traditional Filipino clothing.

Jennifer Tasto, a California based REALTOR® and currently the NAR President's Liaison to Philippines, informed the crowd that the National Association of REALTORS® has over 4,000 International members, and almost 700 of those REALTORS® are from the Philippines.

"A lot of this success has come from the support and hard work of Evangeline Yia, CREBA leadership, and the International Real Estate Members of the Philippines," she said.

CREBA is a non-profit that was established in the Philippines in 1973. It is the recognized umbrella organization of some 4,000 firms, individuals and associations directly or indirectly involved in land and housing, construction, allied industries and various professional fields of discipline.

Sharmin Albacete, CREBA's Executive Director, said that his organization was chosen in 2011 as the exclusive cooperating association of NAR in the Philippines.

"As the sole partner of NAR in the Philippines, we are committed to help promote the highest degree of ethics in the real estate profession," said Albacete. "Our partnership with NAR has allowed us to gain insights on how other countries are able to address their own housing issues and explore new ideas."
