Guillermo Salgado, president of AMPI for 2013

Last week, I posted about AMPI’s inauguration in Cuernavaca and associated events.  Today I want to share further details and information.

The Association of Mexican Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) has a new President. Ing Guillermo Salgoda  recently took the oath of office at a ceremony in Hotel La Mananitas, Cuernavaca, Morelos. Also taking office was Martha Ramirez, AMPI’s first female Vice President and ten new members of AMPI’s National Advisory Board.

Linda Neil a member of the Board has been named Director of AMPI’s International Commission.   More than 1,000 attended the event, including officials from three levels of Government, and visitors from outside of Mexico. The world President of the International Real Estate Federation came from Brazil to participate in the event. (Several other officials came from Brazil.)

At the ceremony working agreements were signed between AMPI and The National Association of Realtors® and between AMPI and the Mexican College of Notaries. AMPI has 15 Regions in Mexico and 75 Sections across the country. NAR has more than 1 million members.

During the week, representatives of NAR and AMPI huddled to discuss the new NAR country Program Spotlight on Mexico. The meeting was to plan a series of events and bulletins that will be sent out to NAR’s affiliates in 60 countries.

A leadership forum was also conducted with speakers from Mexico and Texas (TAR).  AMPI and TAR have a working agreement which includes sharing education. Alston Boyd from Austin presented a class “Marketing Your Property.” He is NAR’s Liaison to Central America and Past Chair of TAR’s International Section.
