Better Understanding of Auction Process Needed
to Participate in U.S. Market
May 13, 2009 - /FLIERWIRE/-- Washington, DC, May 13, 2009 The Institute for Auction Learning, exclusive provider of the Certified Auction Specialist® (CAS) designation program, has signed a contract to provide auction training for 460 Chinese real estate agents & potential buyers of U.S. properties. The primary focus of this training will be to detail the process and raise the awareness so that the attendee is better equipped to participate in auctions nationwide. The first group will depart for the U.S. from Beijing in late May for training commencing on June 1st. The group will be accompanied by 92 Chinese translators that will assist in bridging the communication barrier throughout training. "We are excited to gain knowledge about auctions from U.S. experts. Our recent U.S. buying efforts have not been very successful because we lacked understanding of the auction process. We believe that this is the first of many groups that we will send to the U.S. for this training", said Huang Bo, Director of Zhongtou Development.

Since 1994 Gardner has conducted over 4300 real estate auction transactions. "We are honored to have been sought out to provide this training service to these real estate buyers and agents from China. It is refreshing to see a direct approach to this market. While many U.S. real estate professionals are turning a blind eye to auctions, this group understands that knowledge is power and they are determined to become educated on the U.S. processes", said Gardner.
