Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Bruce Elliott Earns CIPS Designation from National Association of Realtors
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Bruce Elliott was recently awarded the Certified International Property Specialist professional designation (CIPS) by the National Association of Realtors.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said Elliott successfully completed a rigorous course of requirements to achieve the honor.
“The CIPS designation is the gold standard in our industry, the highest assurance that a professional has demonstrated solid experience and a thorough grasp of the peculiarities of international real estate transactions,” he said.
Elliott has been with Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty since November 2008 and has focused on international marketing of luxury homes throughout Central Florida.
Soderstrom said the U.S. real estate downturn and resulting recession have generated market conditions that bring international real estate transactions into a sharp focus.
“Economic uncertainty is a way of life in most other countries around the world,” Soderstrom said. “Worldwide, particularly in Asia, India, Russia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and now western Europe, the American Dream is highly desirable by the more resourceful and affluent families and international home buyers,” Soderstrom explained.
Elliott said the CIPS designation was the result of hard work.
“The study requirements are pretty strenuous but there’s a lot to learn,” Elliott said.
Elliott said he is now able to use the designation “CIPS” after his name in official correspondence and will soon receive a formal certificate and a lapel pin that identifies his professional expertise to colleagues.
Elliott said certification by NAR’s CIPS program provides him with access to research and reports on international real estate trends and transactions and access to the CIPS Network.
CIPS tools are valuable to my career,” Elliott said.

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty named exclusive broker of the Historic Metcalf Building in Downtown Orlando
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has been named exclusive brokers for the historic Metcalf Building, located on S. Orange Avenue and Pine Street in Downtown Orlando directly across from The Plaza twin towers building.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in Orlando, said the historic 10 story building was one of Orlando’s first “skyscrapers” when it was constructed in the center of the central business district in 1923.
The nearly 40,000 square foot building served as Disney’s first Florida headquarters. The Metcalf building was extensively renovated and restored in 2003.
Current tenants include Lawyers Alvarez, Sambol & Winthrop, P.A., the downtown branch of TDBank and Tanqueray’s Bar and Grille, a popular downtown nightspot for more than 30 years.
Stirling’s commercial real estate specialists Jere Matheny and Mark Arnold listed the building for sale.
Matheny said the building will be extensively marketed to national and international buyers, real estate investment firms and potential investors.
Early interest in the building has come from Canada, the Mideast and South America. Stirling will be launching an extensive global marketing campaign that will include 580 Sotheby’s International Realty offices in 42 countries.
“There is a good chance the buyer will be an international real estate investor from outside the U.S.,” said Matheny.
