IPAV Chief Executive Appointed To Global Real Estate Body
We are delighted to congratulate Pat Davitt CEO of IPAV, the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers, on his appointment to the 2023 Board of Directors of the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), a global body representing more than 1.5 million realtors in the US and around the world.
Jim Kinney NAR’s Global Ambassador to Ireland said NAR is delighted to have Pat’s considerable experience in the Irish and European property markets available to the board.
“Pat has been to the forefront in promoting high standards in the industry in Ireland and across Europe. Increasingly the property market is becoming more globalised and this sharing of knowledge and expertise has never been more important,” he said.
Pat Davitt said he is honoured to have been appointed to the board representing IPAV, Ireland and Western Europe.
“I very much look forward to contributing to this august body. Property is crucial to the daily lives of people and businesses, their wellbeing and security. Yet right across the globe the industry is facing challenges as Governments grapple to get to grips with a shortage of residential property in particular,” he said.
“We will be looking at the various markets across the world, at how they compare and to, among other things, get a deeper understanding of the effects of various interventions by governments and trying to identify best practices. Ireland is, in fact, one of the most regulated countries. Also uppermost in our discussions will be the use of IT across the sector and the systems of training of people to prepare them for the markets of the future,” he concluded.
