+ Realtors learn how to attract Chinese buyers
Robert Q Lee, a partner at the Shanghai Office for Diaz Reuz Attorneys and Solicitors, visited the Hammock Beach Resort last month to make a presentation to local real estate agents on how to attract Chinese buyers to Flagler County.
“The event was a great success, and we had 65 attendees,” said Khalid Muneer, chairman of the global committee of Flagler County Association of Realtors. “We also had representatives from Asian-American chambers, the British-American chamber and the Brazilian chamber, from Orlando.”
According to the National Association of Realtors, the Chinese are now the second-largest group of foreign buyers of homes, accounting for $7.4 billion in sales in the 12 months ending in March 2011. This is up 24% from the previous 12 months.
Buyers from China and Hong Kong also spent $1.7 billion on commercial property throughout the United States in 2011, more than quadruple their investments in 2008, according to Real Capital Analytics.
