Los Cabos, Mexico - The Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) have renewed their working relationship and affiliation.

Below are some of the key points outlined in the agreement:

• AMPI will prepare a marketing program and will encourage its members to become members of NAR's International Section.

• NAR will promote AMPI international memberships to its members, particularly those in the border and tourist areas. Marketing to NAR members will include active and on-going promotions to Certified International Property Specialists (CIPS) and the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI).

• AMPI to hold a CIPS Institute in Mexico City in June/July and NAR/AMPI will work to identify current AMPI-CIPS designees who could monitor the course and become certified as instructors.

• NAR to promote participation in the Tourism Symposium in Los Cabos in late September, 2012 and AMPI trade missions to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon and Cozumel, Quintana Roo, as well as the Annual AMPI Conference to be held in Guadalajara, November 1-3.

• Any AMPI Broker office with 100% membership in the NAR International Section shall have the right to use the NAR logos in its office windows and advertising.

AMPI has 76 Sections spread across the Republic. The National Associations of Realtors is the largest trade organization in the United Sates with more than one million members.

Commenting on the initiative, Jennifer Wiziarde Manger of NAR's Global Network said, "We are pleased to have Mexico as one of the sixty countries (eighty organizations) connected to NAR. Our members and AMPI members work with professionals across the globe who share a common code of ethics."

Linda Neil, NAR's Presidential Liaison to Mexico said, "AMPI will make an intensive effort to increase the number of cross border referrals and transactions with NAR members and as well with Realtors from around the world, such as the Canadian Association of Realtors (CREA), the associations in Brazil (CONFECI), Spain (AEGI), Italy (FAIP) and Russia (RGR)."
