    Realestate in Hong Kong

    We are thinking about moving to Hong Kong to be closer to Family. My wife is HK Chinese. I only speak English and was wondering is there any demand for English speaking real estate agents in Hong Kong and which companies I should speak with regarding a real estate vocation.

    with 90% or there abouts of the HK population speak Cantonese and Mandarin an English speaking real estate agent will have limited opportunities. Though I am talking about retail side there might be opportunities in the commercial sectors though I have no idea. Maybe working for a company that develops HK real estate for foreign markets might be worth considering.

    Thank You. I'm thinking companies that deal with the Expat market. Being specialised is key to success.

    There are opportunities. Not familiar with the Brit community but know of a few french and japanese real estate agent who works mostly w french and japanese clients. Quite lucrative business. Obviously on the luxury side.

    Savills is pretty big in HK and they are UK/Intnl. Why not give them a try and see what kind of feedback you get from them? They do both private & commercial RE in HK.

    Have you got a LinkedIn account? If not get one and start connecting with HK based professionals in the major real estate multinationals.

    my neighbour is Filipina and she's an estate agent... there must be some agencies that will take on monolingual English speakers.

    perhaps an agency in DB, Sai Kung, southside etc?
