From 10 – 13 November 2006 in New Orleans (USA) SIMA will present some of the world’s finest second home and resort developments at the first-ever SIMA USA Showcase.

The SIMA USA Showcase will form part of the National Association of Realtor's (NAR) Annual Conference and Expo.  With over 600 exhibitors spread out over 45,000 square metres of exhibition space, the NAR's Annual Conference and Expo is the largest real estate products and services exhibition in the US.  The lowest attendance of this event in this last five years was 20,000 visitors and the conference is promoted both throughout the US and internationally.

SIMA USA will be the only area within this NAR event to be showcasing second homes.  Significantly, as many as a third of all real estate sales in the US are for second homes.

Participating companies in this event will be able to broker agreements with agents from over 60 countries, including the United States.  The NAR show will provide a unique opportunity to contact thousands of professionals who not only represent a large portfolio of potential investors but who are also potential buyers in their own right.

SIMA already has confirmed exhibitors from Panama, México, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Spain.  But space is limited with only 30 stands available.

The National Association of Realtors is the largest professional body within the US real estate industry with over 1.2 million members.
