December 12, 2013 – A group of highly regarded REALTORS® headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, who attended the National Association of Realtors® Convention in San Francisco, California during November, have been invited to create a Spanish version of AREA, according to Carl A. Bosse, Chief Executive Officer of the firm.

“AREA is delighted that the group, headed up by Avenir Real Estate of Barcelona, has taken the initiative to expand its international affiliates by creating a chapter of AREA in Spain”, stated Bosse.

Avenir’s Montse Moreno (CIPS) and Daniel Gamariz (CIPS, FIABCI,) head up the group and hope to have it in place within the next few months.

“I hope that is the beginning of a long collaboration!” noted Senora Moreno who, together with three other associates attended the five day Convention. “Several of us attended a very informative Seminar for international commercial brokers attending the convention jointly held by Starboard TCN and Associated Realty of the Americas. That is where the concept of creating the Spanish Chapter came about.”

The seminar focused on the marketing aspects of Starboard TCN, headed up by its president, Hans Hansson, on how those aspects could be used by international companies in their local markets. Hansson, who is also a member of AREA, later hosted the group for dinner and a tour of San Francisco.

The Chapter will be an affiliate of AREA and will use many of its tools and procedures which will be modified to conform to Spanish real estate practices. It is hoped that through this alliance a new bridge for international cooperation will be established on a formal basis.
