US Realtors to Show Mexico MLS Listings on Their Websites

Property listings from the entire MLS for the Mexico National Association of Real Estate Professionals, AMPI (Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios) will be shown by up to half of all US Realtors® on their own websites in a move to promote international referrals.

Camden, SC, November 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- US Realtors® will now show Mexico MLS real estate listings.

It was announced today by Immobel that the property listings from the entire MLS for the Mexico National Association of Real Estate Professionals, AMPI (Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios) will now be shown by US Realtors® on their own websites in English, through the Immobel Global Real Estate platform.

The AMPI announcement comes during a wave of new globalization initiatives by Realtor.com and ReMax.com who each launched websites with translated listings this week.

“AMPI will benefit from much more than just translated listings, though,” said Janet Choynowski, CEO of Immobel. “ Through the Immobel Global Listing Exchange, the AMPI Mexico MLS listings will be shown by up to half of all US Realtors® on their own websites, creating a huge market impact.

“In turn, AMPI members in Mexico will be able to show several hundred thousand MLS listings from the US in Spanish language on their own websites to their local buyers in Mexico.”

US Realtors® will benefit not only by referring buyers to Mexico, but also by receiving referrals, since buyers from Mexico rank third of the international buyers from 70 countries who invest 82 billion dollars in US Residential real estate annually.

Said Guadalupe Duran International Director of AMPI “ Our members truly appreciate the importance of International buyers and we welcome the chance to build referral opportunities with our colleagues. We expect to use the Immobel service to make sales that will profitable for both US Realtors® and AMPI members.”

The international buying process is more accessible when buyers get in touch with their trusted local real estate professionals first.

Choynowski said, “Since the Global Listing Exchange pilot program between Florida and France in 2008, cooperative marketing that culminates in a well qualified referral has proven to be a win for all concerned. The Global Listing Exchange simply provides every listing with more agents who have a vested interest in seeing a sale take place. There is no doubt that international buyers take comfort in having their own local, trusted advisor made a part of the process and their involvement also increases the chances of a sale closing, so this is great news for sellers.”

Participants in Immobel’s Global Listing Exchange include the largest US Realtor® Associations and MLS organizations such as Miami (MIAMI), Washington DC (MRIS), Long Island (MLSLI), Southern California (CRMLS), Las Vegas (GLVAR), Fort Lauderdale (RAGFL), Sarasota (SARMLS) and CRS (the Council of Residential Specialists).

Agents in the participating markets are able to select unlimited national and international listings to display to their local buyers.

All listings are professionally translated into 13 languages.
