"Texas' strong investment opportunities and friendly business environment has drawn attention both nationally and around the world. As REALTORS®, it is our duty to show international investors the wealth of opportunities that exist within our great state. At MIPIM, we had the responsibility of promoting Texas as a top place to live, work and do business to the world's leading investors," said Tray Bates, chairman of Texas REALTORS®. "Texas has a strong economic climate and is the top creator of jobs in the nation. Investors from across the world are choosing our diverse markets due to the quality of life and business friendly atmosphere we have to offer."
