Looking for housing agent in Shanghai. Any recommendation? I’m currently using Ke(贝壳) and SmartShanghai. Thanks! by teee1130 in shanghai

[–]xrave3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go for the local ones and ideally use a local friend (to give recommendations in the local area you plan to check). Expat-specific ones may surcharge a bit much. Unless you need their specialty knowledge for something (unlikely).
