Florida Realtors and the Japan-America Real Estate Coalition are expanding ties
Both groups are committed to promoting ethical standards, professionalism and innovation within the international real estate sector.
The agreement was signed in Tokyo by Tim Weisheyer, president of Florida Realtors, and Masayuki Nakagawa, chairman of JARECO, during the joint meeting of the Southeast US-Japan Association.
“Florida’s global real estate connections continue to grow, and this new partnership with JARECO opens even more doors for collaboration, learning and investment between Florida and Japan,” said Weisheyer. “We are proud to strengthen the bridge between our two markets and help brokers in both countries find new paths to success.”
Founded in 2013, JARECO serves as an important link between the National Association of Real Estate Agents and five major real estate organizations in Japan – representing hundreds of thousands of professionals.
The signing follows increased economic and travel connections between Florida and Japan. ZIPPER — a subsidiary of Japanese airlines – announced plans to launch the first on October 28 non-stop passenger flights between Florida and Asia.
The airline will operate four round-trip flights between Orlando International Airport and Tokyo Narita starting in February.
“As the former chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, I understand the importance of international connectivity and am excited to see our years of work paying off,” said Weisheyer. “These new flights, combined with partnerships like this, will help strengthen business and real estate relationships between Florida and Japan.
“This partnership comes at an exciting time. With new direct air connections and a growing appetite for cross-border investment, Florida and Japan are poised to deepen economic and professional ties. Real estate is central to that growth, and Florida Realtors is proud to help connect our members to opportunities around the world.”
