Exciting news! I just closed on an incredible $8.9 million property in Costa Rica, thanks to a referral through GMA. The whole process—working closely with my client and local agents—was totally worth it. Honestly, I couldn't have done it without GMA's support and resources!

Hi Olivier, just want to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to become a GMA agent. It is a great asset for me to use when I am marketing my services to clients. Sincerely.

“Hands down, this is the best competitive edge you can give your agents. It’s a great point of difference’ in today’s highly competitive market!”

I recently signed two top producing agents who worked the luxury market specifically because we could offer the GMA training to them.

Howard said, “I recently interviewed a team of four agents, all top producers; all focused on high end properties, with more than twenty years of experience each. My challenge was to find a compelling point of difference that would win them over to my office. I was literally competing with every brokerage in the area but the GMA was the winning tool that no one else could offer. If your focus as a broker is to recruit and retain the best agents in the industry, the GMA training is a must for your office.”

Olivier, Thank you for taking the time to meet and teach us about GMA. I am so excited to get started. I meet with a new client yesterday who currently lives in Florida who will be buying a house there. I told him I could help him with that and he was very excited. Thank you.

Dear Olivier, I would like to confirm that after having obtained the GMA certificate, i have had a lot of positive reactions from buyers as from sellers. This certificate has given them more confidence in our transactions and i would like to thank you ones again for the opportunity to have participated on this. Yours sincerely.

Olivier, thank you for another great class yesterday. I’m emailing you as I forgot to leave my GMA Test & Pledge with you yesterday, I've attached it for your consideration. I attended the class a couple of months ago, sat in the back right of the room. I attended yesterday's 8:30am class and the 10am to 12:40pm class, sat in the front left (as you face the room).Really enjoyed the material and look forward to it's implementation. Have a great day and weekend. Thank you,

Hi everyone ~ Don't forget to update your RE/MAX Profile with your new International designation. This past week, I got 'picked' from our office site (via the R/M 'find an office') because of my 'international experience' by a potential seller. YES, I got the listing!

It has been a great pleasure to meet you and your mother Audree, and to be part of your organization. Obtaining an international designation through your company will definitely enhance my real estate career. Since I speak Spanish and was born and raised in Mexico, this designation has allowed me to contact RE/MAX offices in Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Northern Baja. I am contemplating a great potential in marketing properties worldwide, while utilizing your techniques and strategies.

You and your team did an excellent job in presenting the seminar

Becoming a founding member of The GMA it has opened the doors to the world for our Real Estate Business. We now have over a dozen international listings, mostly in Europe, & more coming in from other states & South America. After serving our clients locally for these many years, it is very exciting to be able to serve them internationally. Thank You for the Opportunity!!!

secured a listing in Hawaii from a client who inquired about her listing in Brazil - seen in Castles & Estates magazine.

After 20 years in this business, one knows if a market is having trouble, go find another market. And your program is sure helping with that!!! Real Happy in Miami.....

saw this as an opportunity to ask her friends… she has now taken a 1.5 Million Dollar listing in Panama City Beach!

I talked to a developer interested in high end lake properties and told him he has the opportunity to market the lots locally, nationally, and all over the world! The developer asked me how? I said, well the GMA is about to teach me! I have just listed the lots! –

I have an interesting story to tell you about how I am using the GMA. Last week the NAR and A.M.P.I (National Association of Realtors of Mexico), signed a cooperation agreement to standardize commercial practices between both countries and facilitate the globalization of the Real Estate industry. The event was with the President of Mexico Vicente Fox, the President of AMPI, the NAR president and the CIPS, CCIM, leaders like Steve Price, etc. Besides that, the Top producers agents in Mexico, The biggest developers in that country and real estate agents from all over US. I was the only one representing the GMA and even the president of AMPI was amazed with the concept. I'm in the process to send the international exclusive listing agreements to about 10 developers in different areas in Mexico. Specially ex-pats communities like San Miguel de Allende, Cancun, Baja California and other projects in the "Escalera Nautica." Mexico is doing a great effort to attract Canadian an American Investors. The GMA Concept generate for me a lot more interest and leads than the CIPS, TRC, International MBA, etc., that I was using to attract business. I offer our Mexican colleagues also to keep their clients for life despite they'll invest anywhere in the world if they do this trough us and I am preparing a marketing campaign to promote in different media for Realtors, this concept; that way I can get their international referrals and make this a win win for all of us. Thank you for your efforts and keep us informed about the project with the developers (web page, etc.). I will also love to know how can I explain a little bit better the House Hunters web page and I'll be calling to get some guidance on how to develop the marketing campaign for them and how to contact agents in the market areas of interest for my clients.

I believe that the possibility of advertising in the magazine really helped me this week get a wonderful listing for a home over $400,000. Clients love the magazine and mention how impressive it looks. They always want to know where it is distributed, and that is a great selling point, too! Thanks to Olivier and his team for striving to make the magazine the BEST that it can be!

GMA has certainly generated a lot of excitement for me. I have collaborated with two Texas agents to feature their listings in my full page ad in the next issue of Castles and Estates, have worked with one Florida Realtor to post three of her offices listings on our local MLS and am communicating with another Florida Realtor about co-listing some of her properties. I am promoting GMA to others in my office and am making new friends across the country in the process. What a deal! –

First, thanks for taking the time to come to Carmel and share your experience and knowledge of international real estate with us. I believe this must be the most exciting time to be starting a real estate business, and because of the innovative and dynamic people, like the Mevellec team, must be the most opportune environment to incubate. At the seminar, I ask you for a referral in Spain. I have an interested client that needs reliable representation resolving the dissolution of her property through her divorce from her husband who lives in the Madrid home. Thanks again for all of you and Olivier’s help –

You have just made our DAY, WEEK, YEAR! We, at the soon-to-be-open Coral Gables, Florida, Market Center want to be your biggest supporter and participants! I just used this as a recruiting tool for a Coral Gables CB agent with a 2.5 million$$ listing!

I am extremely excited about this opportunity and thank you so very much for bringing it to our agents. As an OP and practicing Realtor I believe it to be outstanding. I couldn't sleep last night thinking of all the opportunities I have to make this work!

The GMA program has been instrumental in taking our business to a whole new level of service and client loyalty. We began our journey with GMA by simply leveraging other listings from GMA members. This has created the perception for our local community and our client base, that we are able to be their Realtor, no matter where the property is located. We want them to know that we are their source for ALL of their real estate needs. GMA has also opened the doors for us to offer a tremendous marketing opportunity to our sellers. With the market shift in our area, we needed a way to enhance our marketing exposure and bring results to our sellers. GMA has afforded us this opportunity and our sellers are thrilled! Our team is looking forward utilizing all of the benefits that GMA provides for our Real Estate business. – Thank you for your vision! Thank you for this opportunity! Thank you for being you!

As a result of joining the GMA, the B. Team of Central Florida has developed relationships with fellow Keller Williams agents across the nation. We are actively promoting luxury properties in California, Texas, Florida, Aruba, Costa Rica, and Brazil in the Mid Florida Regional MLS. We also feature these fantastic listings on our web site.In addition, the Boyce Team has gained a greater presence in our region and established a stronger team image by promoting GMA in all of our marketing campaigns. This agent driven system fits in the culture and has allowed us to energize our business in a way that is truly “win-win”. We have contacted our existing client database to make them aware of our ability to assist them with the sale and purchase of their dream home, vacation home or second home nearly anywhere in the world. Our past customers that have moved out of the area are now beginning to call us to sell their properties outside our local MLS

This week we secured 200 new listings with a Caribbean Developer thanks to the presentation we learned from the GMA training. We can't wait to get started and share the opportunities with other GMA members as co promoters or personal investors. We would not have even approached this company before our GMA training and who knows how many dollars that may have cost us. Best of all it was just in time to add to our showcase of Caribbean offerings in the beautiful Castles and Estates Magazine. The benefits go way beyond the network, training and increased financial opportunity. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to increase their market share here and abroad.

It is my goal to be a leading recruiter, MEGA agent, and leader in our office to change the issues we face in our Market Center. My philosophy is: If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. With that, let’s move forward; the GMA partnership makes sense.

Hi Olivier, I really enjoyed your presentation and learning about GMA. I wish I had known of it sooner. Most all of my clients are from out of the country such as West Africa, South Africa, France, Germany, Canada and Malaysia. They all buy second, third and fourth homes, Thank God! As it has got me thru this market. I once had an island to sell a few years ago in Florida but my agencies at the time did not know how to handle it. I agree on the all cash buyers as I have not done a loan in over 2 years. They pay in all cash. I am also from Texas, Houston ,Austin, Lubbock mainly and I have a tremendous base of friends, family and coworkers in and out of Keller Williams that sell real estate, Commercial and Residential and or own properties which could be beneficial.

I wanted to take a moment and discuss the tremendous professionalism and dedicated service provided by Audree Mevellec, Olivier Mevellec, and their dynamic team members of the Global Marketing Agent GMA Program. Every aspect of their program has been of the highest quality. The training program is well thought out, meaningful, and effective. Audree has met every commitment and delivered a quality product. Entering information into CastlesandEstates.Com is easy and the quarterly magazine is a product that I am proud to use as a marketing tool. Most importantly, I strongly believe that being an GMA member afforded me a competitive edge in landing a $26,000,000 listing. I strongly recommend this program to the fine professionals of RE/MAX.

"Globalization" is the key to a new marketing era, "This is an incredible tool for agents to improve their sales in any slow market and a great recruiting tool for us brokers"

I have a friend in Cape Cod with two one-million dollar properties and he wants me to sell them! He also wants to buy two retirement homes in New Hampshire! Thank you GMA for giving me this opportunity!! –

Dear Olivier, thank you so much for your training session which I attended in Carmel. Your depth of experience was a great contribution. I have been able to develop my relations with a private real estate firm in the Los Cabos area of Mexico and have many properties that I can represent. The problem I have is marketing these properties....finding interested buyers in the population at large. So far, I have targeted selected well-off private school parents that I know, country clubs, those who attend my seminars on how to buy property in Mexico. I am looking at golfing and yatching associations. What do you think of these different markets? What has been the best marketing approach for you...the approach that best finds real buyers? Thank you so much for your advice.

Hi Olivier, I just finished writing the first test which is attached. I found the manual very interesting and I am excited about completing the course. Your life story was also very interesting and I admire your perseverance. Olivier did a great job in presenting the course and it's benefits when he was in our Toronto office last week.

Salut Olivier, first, we would like to extend our gratitude to you for opening up this amazing new way of doing real estate! We are grateful for the GMA designation and how it will globalize our business. I put down the answers to the quiz below as I felt it would be easier to read this way. Attached is the signed pledge. Merci beaucoup,

Olivier, I was impressed with your article about how you are maximizing international marketing through the network.What caught my attention is that is you have the marketing rights to a 1400-unit scheme in St. Lucia. I have secured joint sole selling rights to a 1400-unit project directly opposite a new PGA golf course in Bodrum, Turkey.I am keen to market the properties throughout the network. If you had any thoughts or suggestions on how I could do so would be appreciated.

Good morning Olivier, it was a pleasure having you in our office yesterday. I am very excited about the GMA Certification! In fact, Jenny and I had already talked about my interest since I have family and friends who live and travel to and from Mexico. I want to get started as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I was not able to talk to you after the presentation but I did leave my form with Jenny Bingham. Once everything is processed, I want to jump right in!

Olivier, how do we get an issue of “Castles and Estates”? Also, are there any advertising materials available for GMA members, such as flyers, etc, that we can adapt? I will be going on a listing presentation on home that might be a good candidate for and benefit from international marketing.

Olivier, I just want to thank you for opening up my mind and my eyes to the potential of being a “GLOBAL” real estate agent, as you discussed in this morning’s meeting in Nashville. I went on my listing appointment and after discussing the sale of the homeowners current house, and how I can help them buy their next house, I quickly told them about my potential for global real estate sales. Within a minute they started to tell me about a piece of land they own in Paris, Tennessee on a lake that they may want me to sell that is valued at $250,000 (vacant land only). If I get the listing to sell their current house, help them buy a house of equal value, and sell the land, I have about $35,000 in commissions coming from one client that I just talked to on the phone yesterday and met with today for a couple hours. I will let you know how it develops, but I think being a member of GMA program is already paying off and I have not even started yet! I look forward to getting the info to get started. Can’t wait!

Thank you for all that you do for us to expand our businesses. I am excited to be able to use this designation and have already been able to tout it on two listings and a possible third one!

Olivier, thank you for the specialized treatment yesterday. I’m getting very positive feedback on the material and your presentation. Good luck to you both.

Taking GMA class has definitely made me knowledgeable in selling real estate in other countries. It has made me confident in presenting this opportunity to my clients. In networking, I came across Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic and established a relationship with their top sales agent. He was very excited about working with me in promoting Cap Cana here in Texas. . Olivier and Audree, in closing, I am grateful and excited about the opportunity you have opened for us as agents. I love to travel and you have just given me more excuses to do so. I will be visiting London in January and hope to make more friends in the international market. I will be in China on vacation at the end of October... Wondering about real estate there… probably not possible. Well, I still have the rest of the world

No words can describe the major impact in accelerating my career in real estate since becoming involved with your Global Marketing Agent Program. Upon listing a high-end property in Florida and becoming a global marketing agent, I have been given credibility to market high-end homes on a worldwide basis through your website and international contacts. This edge has been instrumental in obtaining high-end listings and has become a significant tool to save on local advertising costs. Therefore, as a RE/MAX agent in Canada, I am fully and completely endorsing your program as a leading-edge innovative approach to international marketing and would encourage RE/MAX International to adopt your program as a recognized certification standard.

Although I am still working on my certification and have not placed property listings in your magazine yet, my clients love the spirit of “global marketing” as a way I work my listings. Global marketing real estate certification is a huge thing for my credibility and separates me from the others with little to no difficulty. I picked up the right to advertise in the book a $900,000 ranch here in MO today against other realtors because it will sell if presented as an international coop. LOVE THE PROGRAM!

We joined GMA recently, and already it has helped us get a listing. We have also found a GMA agent in Toronto, Canada with whom we are promoting our listings locally. I think it will be a good relationship with him and we are working to find more GMA agents in other areas. We hope GMA expands to all parts of RE/MAX International so that we can truly benefit from having a worldwide network, and worldwide franchise.

Dear Olivier, We met at my office recently and I mentioned to you that I was about to do a listing presentation where the seller was looking specifically for an agent who could differentiate themselves as he was selecting his third agent to try to sell his home. I met with him the next day and told him about GMA using your dialogue. He called me today to tell me he wanted me to take the listing – a $630,000 house. I believe that the GMA was a significant factor. Thank you for bringing this to us.

When I read the article “Global Expertise” I was immediately excited by The Mevellec Team’s approach to International marketing. So, I joined the network I am fairly new to the Real Estate world and I was looking for a different way to promote my services. I found it thanks to GMA and the training material. Just a few weeks after I became “Certified” I signed my first listing over one million $ 1,950,000 property with an agreement for international brokerage.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great presentation today. I have to be honest; I see a lot of people trying to promote many different things and most of it is worthless. You caught my attention today. I listened to everything you said and it all made a ton of sense. It made me realize I haven’t even begun to practice real estate and that I have really limited myself to the Houston market. I never want to grow stale and I always want to be innovative. My goals are set very high and I am an extremely motivated guy. This is something that truly excites me. I have no doubt in my mind I can make an impact nationally and internationally and I want to. I look forward to attending the class on the 6th. Anything you can suggest to me from now until then to further educate and prepare me, please let me know. Today might have been the day that will change my life forever and it’s because of you. I am very excited about this opportunity, and I look forward to developing a lasting relationship. It’s time for me to take things to the next level. I am ready.

I must begin promoting Mexican properties right away and have a likely buyer for Aix-en-Provence. You would not believe (or actually you probably will) the response I have had just from telling people what I’m doing. Someone I sold a house to 18 years ago has a place in Mexico they want to sell and are just waiting for me to get organized. Thank you for providing me with such a wonderful opportunity! I know there will be other agents here who are interested once they see me get off the ground.

I just wanted to let you know how much Global Marketing Agent program has begun to impact my business within the last couple of weeks. For the last couple of years, I have been trying to break into the Luxury Home market targeting properties from $600K, and have had quite a challenging time achieving it. There are several agents in my market share who are with either Ebby, Keller Williams, or Coldwell Banker who dominate this market throughout, and I have lost out several listings trying to compete with them. The reason is that RE/MAX did not have a presence in these high-end neighborhoods. We were perceived as the "middle and lower end" sectors of Realtors. When I met you and Olivier several years ago, I thought your program was probably the missing link that I needed. Unfortunately, you were with a different company and I didn't really understand the whole facet of it nor had the time to take the training course to truly understand the whole process. Now that you've become part of RE/MAX and after going through the training materials you sent me together with Olivier's smashing presentation, I have been able to secure 2 high-end listings, one for $965,000 and the other for $799,000 in less than 2 weeks. Those are listings that expired with the other 2 well-known agents in this market and the owners were looking for a different and unique approach, and I was able to show them that I, now belong to the prestigious GMA network and can market their properties internationally thus, bringing more clients from all over the world to them. The sellers were very excited and loved the concept and gave me the listing on the spot. They also loved the beautiful Castles and Estates magazine and looked forward to seeing their gorgeous home advertised in it. I also have big plans to expand my international listing inventory and plan to take on developers and builders and be able to co-promote their projects in different parts of the U.S. and the world in the near future. I would like to thank you for this fabulous opportunity and for helping me to finally achieve my goal.

As a Canadian and Toronto Sales Representative, and somewhat of an international traveler myself, I never imagined I could sell Real Estate outside my city let alone outside my country! But with the Training offered by the Mevellec Team, everything is explained step by step. The support is there when you need it and the best part is the templates you get to use for your new business so you can protect yourself. It's hard to go wrong. With the introduction of this program, it should set me apart from the competition and hopefully give me the edge I need to compete and succeed in the Toronto Real Estate Market.
