The National Association of Realtors® has announced a new program to Spotlight A level affiliated, premium countries. During the first year (2013) the Spotlight will be on Mexico. Australia will be the featured country in 2014, and Canada in 2015.

The Spotlight program has multiple features all of which will have a positive impact on the Mexican real estate market. In addition to promoting Mexico around the world, there will be an International Real Estate Forum in Cabo San Lucas, later this year.

Commenting on the new program, Jeffrey Hornberger, Director Global Business Alliances at NAR said, "We are pleased to name Mexico as the first Spotlight country. Our members and our affiliates around the world will "discover" Mexico and the many opportunities it offers for investment."
