Lake Success, NY (PRWEB) September 11, 2006 -- Diana Voyajolu has been awarded the Transnational Referral Certified (TRC) professional mark from the International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA).

Ms. Voyajolu is one of a growing number of professionals in the United States to earn the TRC, reflecting the increasingly global nature of the real estate industry. Ms. Voyajolu is affiliated with Harmony Real Estate Consultants, LLC, of Lake Success, NY.

The Transnational Referral Certification was developed to help real estate professionals better serve clients and customers who are looking to buy or sell real property outside their own country and who will benefit from working with a real estate professional in that foreign market. TRC certified real estate professionals are trained not only in the mechanics of cross-border client referrals, but also in how to work in the client’s best interests in the same manner they would a domestic client. All TRCs adhere to a national professional code of conduct.

“In today complex market, where people are increasingly buying and selling internationally, whether for a resort or retirement home or as an investment, it’s important to work with someone who understands the local market and laws -- particularly those that apply to foreign ownership,” said Ms. Voyajolu. “The TRC helps me to ensure that my clients receive the same level of service and professionalism abroad that I provide them here at home.” In the US, only members of the National Association of Realtors can earn the Transnational Referral Certification.
