Welcome message from the Canopy Global Committee Chair

Welcome to the Canopy REALTOR® Association Global Committee’s digital home!

I’m Kristie Ferguson, CIPS, and it is my honor and privilege to serve as Chair of this dynamic committee.  

Our mission - simplified, is to connect, educate and empower real estate professionals in our region to thrive in the global marketplace. Whether you’re helping international clients relocate to our area, assisting investors with cross-border transactions, or simply curious about expanding your global footprint, you’ve come to the right place.  

As a committee, we are committed to fostering meaningful connections with our local and international partners, promoting global education opportunities such as the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation, and elevating the global business conversation within our REALTOR® community. Our members bring a wealth of diverse experience and perspectives, and we’re excited to share those insights with you through events, educational programs, and collaborative initiatives.  

This year, we’re focused on building stronger bridges – between cultures, markets and professionals. I encourage you to engage with us, participate in upcoming events, and explore how global real estate can enhance your business and broaden your horizons.  

Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey. Together, we are making our region, and our association, a leader in global real estate. Opportunity Resides Here at Canopy.
