Vanke is a Good Real Estate Company
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2006-09-08 23:58 · Real EstateJust get back from my good friends new apartment at Vanke Holiday. It is another good residential area by Vanke.
I am a big Vanke fan. Our first apartment was in Vanke, and I spent great time there, before I moved to Pudong.
Vanke is the No. 1 brand in the real estate industry. It has the largest revenue number, and good at build vast area of residential buildings and turn suburb into new towns.
The Expertise of Doing Business
Sometimes I wondered why companies with huge amount of capital didn’t invest in the booming real estate industry. For example, Microsoft and eBay, and Yahoo! may get better gain in China by investing in real estate if they did it in 2000.
It turned out the idea is naive, since recently, I understand every company has its unique expertise. If you gave 100 million dollars to Vanke and ask Vanke to build a new town, they can spend the money more effective, with lower cost and higher price than other companies can. It is the same to invest 100 million dollars to Microsoft, and they can do better job than Vanke in software industry, and eBay on eCommerce… That is the reason every company focus on their own field, instead of going into too many industry. Many big companies in China entered too much (they call it diversity in business). Some succeeded, but more companies failed to do that. In a more efficient market, the concentration of expertise will be even more clear, so the smart decision is to stick in one industry, and deliver really good result.

Efficiency is king, baby!
This is also why communism doesn't work. The state is very bad at running various companies/industies.
That's why......you know.

I heard many times that Vanke is easy to sell again, but really: How long in average does it take when you want to sell a Vanke apartment? We will leave Shanghai in about 2 years and how long in advance should I start to try selling it?
Is it possible to sell it privately or do I have to use a real estate agent (my experience with the agents is very poor to say the least). How much would an agent charge me?
Generally, at the same condition, Vanke house sells better, based on my experience. They are a good developer and really spent time and effort to make the house valuable.
Most agents will charge you 1% of the total amount of the sales. You can also use local classified site, like my site: http://shanghai.baixing.com/root/W0QQqZ%E7%99%BD%E9%A9%AC%E8%8A%B1%E5%9B%AD (Disclaimer: I am the CEO of this website).
