I am proud to be a member of the Houston Association of Realtor's International Advisory Group!  There are over 25,000 realtors in Houston and there are 21 of us who serve on the International Advisory Group.  Our goal is to provide our members with educational programs and network business opportunities that relate to the international real estate industry.  This year, we were awarded the Platinum Award from the National Association of Realtors, at the winter conference in San Francisco.
