VANCOUVER, July 12, 2013 /CNW/ - The Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) is holding the North American Business and Real Estate Investment Summit in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 16th and 17th. Marking the first time this summit is held in Vancouver, this unique gathering will bring together industry leaders from across North America for discussions on markets in North American and Asia.
Featured speakers include HGTV's Sarah Daniels and Phil DuMoulin hosts of the popular program Urban Suburban, and Kelly Deck from Take it Outside, as well as senior executives from Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Better Homes & Gardens, Re/max, Royal Lepage, MacDonald Realty, Sotheby's among others. The conference will include a rich array of international experts who will be sharing insights on a variety of critical topics from new technological innovations impacting the real estate industry to broader economic and trade matters.
The president for AREAA Vancouver and chair of this Summit, Tina Mak, of Coldwell Banker Westburn Realty stated: "AREAA draws global professionals together to share information, and forge critical linkages. In many ways, Vancouver is the new global epicenter for East-West cross-cultural dialogue and understanding. Real estate is a pillar of the global economy. AREAA intends to nurture deeper ties to strengthen the Chinese-North American partnership, with Vancouver serving as a vital gateway.
Founded in 2003, AREAA is an international professional trade organization dedicated to promoting homeownership opportunities in Asian North American communities by creating an international voice for the housing and real estate professionals that serve the market. AREAA Vancouver is comprised of professionals from diverse cultural backgrounds, directly and indirectly associated with the dynamic real estate industry in the city. The association serves 13,000 members in 39 states with 30 affiliate chapters and one chapter in Canada.
Over the next twenty years, according to research conducted by AREAA, Asians will be one of the fastest growing segments of the North Americans population. Because most Asian North Americans are first generation, they face significant language, cultural and knowledge barriers that have kept the homeownership rate relatively unchanged over the past 20 years. AREAA plans to initiate national and regional efforts to address these opportunities.
