North Carolina’s winning combination of location, workforce, existing industry strength, and business-friendly environment makes it a leading destination for domestic and international companies alike. The state boasts the fastest growing large economy in the U.S. and consistently ranks among the top five in internationally-recognized business environment rankings.
NC REALTORS® efforts in economic development are focused on providing information and engagement opportunities for our members. In 2016, NC REALTORS® leadership created the association’s Economic Development Committee, made up of individuals with knowledge and experience in the recruitment and retention of business.
The NC REALTORS® Global Network was launched in 2018 to provide opportunities for our members to connect with international business opportunities.
Unveiled during XCHANGE ’17 in Asheville, the NC REALTORS® Economic Development & Real Estate Resource Guide is designed to be a toolkit for use by local associations and REALTORS® to become more engaged in the economic development activities at the local and state level.
The guide is updated annually.
