On August 12, GLAR members gathered at Japan House Los Angeles for Doing Business Across Asia: Markets, Culture & Global Partnerships. Presented by the GLAR Global Committee, the program centered on what it takes to build successful international real estate relationships.

Moderated by Claudia Diaz, NAR Global Ambassador, the discussion brought together Vicky Silvano, NAR Global Coordinator for the Asia Pacific Region; Carmen Chong, CEO of Global Real Estate Alliance; Asuko Yube of Global Estate Link; and Paul C. Tecson for his insight on the Philippines market. Panelists shared insight into working across Asian markets, with particular attention to cultural understanding, referral relationships, and the opportunities that can emerge when business crosses borders.
