RIDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY, US, January 30, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Michael Shetler has become a member of KW Global Property Specialist (GPS), allowing him to leverage specialized knowledge and technology to more effectively work with international buyers and sellers.

In its 2012 National Association of REALTORS® Profile of International Home Buying Activity, the National Association of REALTORS® estimated the volume of international sales for the period April 2011-March 2012 at $ 82.5 billion. And in Bergen County, the area Mr. Shetler serves, about 28% of the population is foreign born (U. S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010).

“It’s important for me to be able to understand the wants, needs and customs of international clients,” says Shetler. “KW GPS helps me do that.”

KW GPS is an exclusive group of Keller Williams agents who recognize the importance of their international clientele. Members receive regular training on topics as diverse as legal issues, cultural fluency and financing hurdles. In addition, KW GPS provides a bundle of international marketing tools including Proxio, a marketing platform which gives international visibility to US property listings.

“With so many buyers in NJ coming from other parts of the world, it’s critical that my listings be marketed outside the US,” continues Shetler. “And home sellers in Bergen County recognize the importance of international marketing.”

Proxio also enables local real estate agents to network with agents from around the world.
