Global Reach, Local Expertise- Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS)

Connecting the Piedmont Triad to the World

Real estate is increasingly global. Navigating international transactions, cross-border relocations, and foreign investments requires for more than local market knowledge-it demands an understanding of international currency, global tax implications, cultural nuances, and cross-border finance.

Why Work with a CIPS Designee?

As a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS)—a distinction held by less than 1% of REALTORS® worldwide—and member of the NAR Global Business and Alliances Committee, I provide specialized expertise for:

  • International Buyers & Investors: Assisting foreign nationals and visa holders with purchasing residential and commercial real estate in North Carolina.
  • Global Relocation: Guiding corporate transferees, expats, and families moving into or out of the Piedmont Triad region
  • Outbound & Cross-Border Sales: Leveraging a worldwide network of elite to help local clients purchase or invest in properties abroad.

 The Financial Advantage in Global Real Estate

With a background as an Accountant (San Marcos University, Peru) and former Senior Investment Operations Associate at Prudential Financial in New Jersey, I bring a rigorous analytical lens to global transactions. I assist clients in evaluating market returns, understanding complex financing structures, and minimizing risks associated with international property transfers.
