ORLANDO, Fla. - Dec. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Longwood, Fla. – Dec. 10, 2013 – Watson Realty Corp.™ sales associate Jim Ruddy recently earned his Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation from the National Association of REALTORS®.

The CIPS designation provides associates with the knowledge, research, network and tools to globalize their real estate business.

“Our international buyers have additional needs that most realtors do not run into and thus do not have the infrastructure and team to serve those people,” Ruddy explained.

Ruddy will be able to utilize the benefits of earning his CIPS, as Watson Realty is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE), a network of elite brokerage firms representing 40 countries worldwide. As a REALTOR® of a LeadingRE member affiliate, Ruddy will be able to provide referrals to customers buying and selling real estate outside of their local service areas.

“The training and experience provided by the CIPS process enables me to support a client base across all of Central Florida from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico; and north of Palm Beach and Naples to St. Augustine and Gainesville,” says Ruddy.

In addition to trusted referrals, members of the network provide exceptional marketing advantages and knowledge to their buyers and sellers. Watson Realty Corp.™ is honored to be a founding member of LeadingRE and a three-time recipient of the network’s highest honor, the Diamond Award.
