Houston fosters a strong international business environment through a cost of living that is below the U.S. national average, a skilled workforce, expansive global transportation, world renowned medical research facilities, and institutions of higher learning that are second to none.
Houston ranks among the top-performing U.S. metro areas and continues to lead the nation in population and job growth.
These dynamics create opportunities for agents of the International Division of Better Homes and Gardens Gary Greene to assist in the housing needs of international homebuyers in Houston. More importantly, it is our goal to provide global transaction generating resources to each agent and office.

Learning the Real Estate Ropes in a Foreign Country
A great resource to finding information about a country that your clients originate from or are relocating to is the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The CIA publishes the World Factbook that provides information on the history, people, government, economy, geography, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues for 267 world entities.
