Evan Smith serves as the Global Business Liaison and Online Learning Coordinator for the Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR), a preeminent regional REALTOR® trade association that serves over 30,000 real estate professionals throughout Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties.

In that role, Smith brings his trademark positivity and years of experience and expertise to multiple areas, including education, administration, global business development, and management of LIBOR’s Global Business Council.

Since joining LIBOR in 2017, Smith has elevated the Association’s global relations by collaborating with other associations, international partners, and outside entities to build awareness among members of the global real estate opportunities within their market and throughout the world.

LIBOR currently has agreements with 18 countries, including Argentina, Bahamas, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Jamaica, Mongolia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, Romania, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine. The MOU establishes cooperation for associations to share relevant market information, foster global relationships, and cultural exchanges, and build bridges with international partners abroad.

Under the tutelage of Smith, LIBOR was appointed partner association with the Spanish International Realty Alliance (SIRA) through the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Ambassador Association Program. In 2022 Smith coordinated a trade mission to Seville, Spain for members to attend the annual SIRA conference.

In 2021, to adapt to members’ changing needs, Smith helped launch “Travel Abroad Virtually with LIBOR” an international monthly web series that hosts representatives from global associations to communicate valuable resources and inspiration to LIBOR members.

Through Smith’s leadership, LIBOR’s Global Business Council was awarded the 2021 Platinum Global Achievement Program Award from NAR for exhibiting the highest level of service to its members by consistently providing them with the tools they need to excel in international real estate. This places LIBOR’s Global Business Council in the top 8% of Global Councils nationwide.

In dedication to his role at LIBOR, Smith has earned the Certified Distance Education Instructor certification through the Association of Real Estate License Law Official, the Certified International Property Specialist, At Home with Diversity, and Commitment to Excellence certifications through NAR. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with a concentration in Music Business from Five Towns College.

Prior to joining the association, Smith worked extensively in the music industry. His years of sales and management experience at various NYC record labels and music establishments have set the stage for his deep appreciation of richly unique cultures throughout the world.
