The inaugural International Property Show launches in Miami in May 2025, a significant milestone as the first exhibition dedicated exclusively to foreign real estate for American buyers.
Founded by Ilana Klochkov of RA Global Properties Inc., the event runs May 9 to 11, 2025, at the James L. Knight Center, bringing together international developers, real estate agents, mortgage consultants, and attorneys under one roof.
Bringing Global Real Estate to American Doorsteps
RealtiesAbroad.com emerged from Ilana Klochkov’s recognition that Americans interested in overseas properties lacked accessible pathways to pursue these opportunities. The digital platform connects U.S. buyers with international listings, but Klochkov understood that complex cross-border transactions benefit from face-to-face interactions. This realization led to the International Property Show, designed specifically for Americans seeking retirement homes, investment properties, or second residences abroad.
The timing aligns with growing interest in international property investment among Americans looking for portfolio diversification and retirement options with lower living costs. By gathering verified developers, legal experts, and financing specialists, the show aims to reduce the perceived risks of international transactions while providing direct access to previously difficult global opportunities.
One-Stop Shop for Foreign Property Dreams
Unlike typical real estate exhibitions, the International Property Show emphasizes education alongside property showcasing. This educational component addresses the knowledge gap that often prevents Americans from pursuing international real estate.
“The biggest barrier for Americans is understanding how to get familiar with foreign systems,” says Ilana. The show guides golden visa programs, offering pathways to residency through property investment, financing options for non-residents, and strategies for managing properties from abroad.
Expanding the International Property Footprint
Following the Miami debut, Ilana Klochkov plans to take the International Property Show to 10 to 12 additional U.S. cities throughout late 2024 and into 2025. This ambitious expansion professes the belief that international property ownership will become increasingly mainstream for Americans seeking alternatives to the domestic housing market.
The show addresses six key challenges for potential international property buyers: access to global markets, verification of properties and developers, legal and financial guidance, networking opportunities, exclusive deals, and risk mitigation. By meeting sellers and developers face-to-face, investors can make informed decisions while avoiding common pitfalls in international real estate transactions.
Building Bridges Beyond Borders
The International Property Show represents a commercial venture that symbolizes how Americans view global mobility and property ownership. Ilana Klochkov presents the event as creating connections between cultures while opening doors for Americans to experience different lifestyles through property ownership abroad.
Whether seeking retirement havens, investment diversification, or simply a vacation home, attendees can access a curated marketplace of international opportunities. As the May opening approaches, the success of this first show will influence Klochkov’s planned national expansion and influence how Americans approach international property investment.
