NCJAR® extends our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us at Noches de Colombia in Randolph on May 29, 2025, for an energizing and insightful Global Real Estate Lunch & Learn event.
A Powerful Exchange of Global Insights
The event brought together an incredible lineup of NAR Global Ambassadors—Yoshi Takita, Steven Pagan, and Aldo Iemma—who captivated the audience with their expertise and personal experiences navigating the international real estate landscape. From decoding cultural nuances to forging international referral networks, our panelists delivered real-world advice that attendees can immediately apply to elevate their global real estate strategies.
What We Learned
Attendees walked away with:
-
Proven strategies for managing cross-border transactions
-
Insights into cultural and language barriers, and how to turn them into strengths
-
Tools to build international connections and grow referral opportunities
-
Market intelligence on the $42B foreign investment in U.S. real estate from April 2023 to March 2024
This lunch and learn was an eye-opener for both newcomers and seasoned global professionals, emphasizing the continued growth and opportunity in international real estate—where 50% of foreign buyers pay all-cash, and the median sale price far exceeds the U.S. average.
A Special Thanks
We extend our sincere gratitude to:
-
Yoshi Takita, Steven Pagan, and Aldo Iemma for their valuable insights and generous sharing of knowledge
-
All the attendees who participated with energy, thoughtful questions, and a spirit of collaboration
-
The team at Noches de Colombia for the delicious lunch and warm hospitality
