You can go to the US and investigate real estate deals for a Canadian client as a market researcher. You can not negotiate for that person however.

If a Real Estate Company wanted to hire you, you could qualify as an H1.

And one other small possibility is that you could be hired as a Management Consultant under a TN. Mayube to advise a US realtor on dealing with Candians.

But as a TN Management Consultant you can only give advice and must be paid a salary. You must have 5 years experience as well.
