Rose Marra of Re/Max Aboutowne Realty in Oakville, Ont. is the 2016 president of the Canadian Chapter of FIABCI, the International Real Estate Federation.
She has more than 30 years of experience in the real estate profession in British Columbia and Ontario, specializing in commercial, investment properties, land development, residential and project marketing. She is also affiliated with R&L Marketing Strategies Group, which offers project marketing services to developers and builders.
Marra says she aims to promote closer co-operation with Canadian Realtor associations and with the FIABCI U.S. Chapter, building on the success of recent cross-border exchanges. She says FIABCI is the only truly global network of international real estate professionals with members in 65 countries, including 100 professional associations, 65 academic institutions and 3,000 individual members from all professions in the real estate sector.
Secretary-general Jerry England says Marra is “committed to excellence and has accumulated extensive knowledge in the creation of valued international business networks both in Europe and Asia for several projects in Canada.”
The next FIABCI World Congress is to be held in Panama City in May 2016.
