Y&C Property Investment

Buying a property, anywhere in the world, can be a stressful experience. Fortunately, there are a few good agents out there who are fighting your corner (as well as that of the vendor), and make this stress a little more bearable. Janice Chan at Y&C Property is one such agent, who has this particular calm and easy going nature bout her, that makes her a pleasure to deal with.
Based in Tin Hau, so dealing with only properties local to that area, the agency is one of many nestled in the patch around Electric Road near the MTR station. Many of these agents share properties, but it seemed that Janice had access to some that were exclusive, which is great as it doesn’t waste everyone’s time with repeated viewings. It also meant that she had keys accessible or contact with the landlord, so we didn’t have to wait at each property for some other agent to let us in.
Janice also respected the budget and didn’t try to weasel a few thousand more dollars out of every viewing. Frankly, is I say a million, I mean a million, not one and a half! Her English was reasonable, not the best, but passable. Unfortunately her colleagues were a bit like walking potatoes, but that might have been a language barrier.
One thing that Janice did which I found a bit irritating, was the order of the viewings. Rather than organise the viewings around geography, so for example you go to the furthest one and work your way back, she would organise the viewings by some other random format, which meant we would go to and fro doubling up our walkabout. In the HK heat, it’s not very pleasant.
Otherwise, perfectly nice folks to deal with. Do check them out as their stock does seem to be that little bit different to everyone else’s.
