NVAR

NVAR Global

In 2016, NVAR created NVAR Global, a reorganized composition of the former NVAR international activities, and with it a new leadership body to oversee all of its globally focused functions.

Almost a third of the local population was born outside the United States and almost 40% of the Northern Virginia region’s population uses a language other than English when they are at home. Serving such an evolving community cultural landscape requires that NVAR adapt and change to capitalize on the opportunities that our Realtors® and brokers find in the marketplace.

Partnering with international organizations allows NVAR to distinctively position itself as a unique showcase association among the 1,400 Realtor® associations and to fully respond to the international character of Northern Virginia.

NVAR Around the Globe

NVAR partnered with GCAAR and DCAR to bring you Capitalize DC, a showcase of innovative commercial development projects across the Washington D.C. metro region. Capitalize DC hosted a booth at MIPIM 2018 from March 13 - 16 in Cannes, France to showcase projects and draw commercial developers to the region.

MIPIM is the world's largest international real estate conference, which draws over 24,000 attendees each year.

On April 6, 2018, attend Capitalize DC - The MIPIM Report, presented by the International Business Forum, to hear from regional Realtor® leadership about their global outreach experience during MIPIM 2018.
