RASM Expands Global Connections Through New Partnership with CIMI360 in Brazil

On August 28, 2026, RASM President-Elect Anita E. Lambert signed a new cooperation agreement with CIMI360 – International Real Estate Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The agreement strengthens the relationship between the two organizations and creates new opportunities to connect Sarasota and Manatee REALTORS® with real estate professionals and industry leaders in Brazil.

Creating More Opportunities for RASM Members

The partnership is designed to strengthen professional connections between the two markets while increasing opportunities for international education, referrals, investment connections and future business development.

Under the cooperation agreement, RASM members will receive a 10% discount on CIMI360 registration fees, and RASM will receive two complimentary VIP tickets for its Board at CIMI360. Both organizations will also promote partnership opportunities and benefits to their respective members and professional networks. The agreement is in effect for two years and may be renewed by mutual agreement.

For members interested in international real estate, these relationships can provide another avenue to build professional networks, learn more about global markets and develop connections that may lead to future referral and business opportunities.

“This partnership brings together the strengths, expertise and networks of two organizations with a shared commitment to expanding opportunity,” Lambert said. “More than an agreement between institutions, it is a connection between people, markets and communities. It opens doors for thousands of real estate professionals and the clients, families, businesses and communities they serve.”

Lambert said the partnership is already helping create new relationships and opportunities for collaboration.

“Through this collaboration, new relationships are being formed and opportunities for education, referrals, investment and business development are already underway. By connecting our respective markets, we are creating pathways for greater understanding, stronger professional relationships and long-term economic opportunity.”

Building Bridges Beyond Borders

The CIMI360 agreement is part of RASM’s continued effort to move global engagement beyond education and awareness and toward meaningful professional relationships and opportunities for members.

Through global education, networking, market insights and international partnerships, RASM continues to provide members with resources to better understand and participate in an increasingly connected real estate market.

“For me, this is what leadership is about,” Lambert said. “It is not measured only by the doors that open for us, but by how many doors we help open for others. The most meaningful bridges we build are those that create opportunities far beyond ourselves.”
