What My Customer Says - Perry

Customer
Perry Chen
Businessman, Investor








What My Customer Says... 


(English translation)

TheTeam: Thank you for doing this interview with us.  We understand that you run your own business. Do you also invest?

Perry: Yes, I invest in mutual funds, stocks and recently 2 to 3 preconstruction homes with Fanny.

TheTeam: Throughout these home investments, how do you find Fanny's service?

Perry: First of all, I have known Fanny for 2 to 3 years.  From numerous contacts with Fanny, I find her keen and passionate in what she is doing.  From my perspective, she is a consultant to me.  In other words, for all aspects of a home investment, she provides me with all the details.  For example. she would go: "this is how the neighbourhood is like right now and potentially could develop to become like this.   You ought to think it through ..."  

Perry: Even though she is busy, she still spends a lot of time and effort in my project - not many realtors could manage it.  I don't blame them because it is not easy.

Perry: I enjoy working with her.  I recalled the first time she listed my home.  I was in China at the time.  She called me in her early morning to tell me that the home had been sold.  I asked; "that quick? only 1 day?"  She simply answered: "yes."  This has made a deep impression.  From then on, for all my real estate transactions, be it a preconstruction or an existing home, I go with Fanny.  I am confident in her and I need not to worry.  All I have to do is to leave her with the key and she takes care of the rest.

TheTeam: Thank you, Perry.

Perry: Thank you.


(Chinese transcript)

TheTeam多謝你同意做這訪問。你本身是做生意的,有否作一些投資?

Perry
有,在 Mutual Funds, Stocks 和近來做一些樓宇投資,像我跟Fanny買了兩、三個樓花。

TheTeam
在這些投資過程中,你對Fanny的服務有何看法?

Perry
首先,我認識Fanny兩三年,經過很多的接觸,我覺Fanny是非常熱心和熱情。在我的角度來看,她是一個顧問。換句話說,在許多事項上,她會給予我很多details­。比如,在一些你沒有細想過的環節裏,她會替你孝慮清楚。"這一區現在是怎樣,將來可能會發展至怎樣,你自己去細心考慮清楚•••"我覺得在這一點,很多經紀都做不到,但­她可以,她花很多時間在我的項目。雖然她本身都很繁忙,但仍可以花這麼多的心機時間在我身上,我認為這很不容易。我很喜歡跟她合作,因為我記得我第一次讓她賣我的房子,當­時我在中國,她給我打電話(她的凌晨)問我知否我的房子已賣掉,我驚喜的說:"那麼快?只一天!"她簡單地答:"是。"我對這交易的印象很深刻,之後,我所有的樓房買賣,­包括樓宇和樓花,我只選Fanny。因為她令我很放心,我無需要擔心,只要給她一條門匙,她就會把所有的事情辦妥。

TheTeam
多謝你!

Perry: Thank you.


What's More
For Perry, investing (in a business or an asset) is a game that he enjoys playing.  He has fun developing, testing and applying strategies with tactics to do better than or beat the opponent (the market).  He loves what he does.

On the top of shopping for business and homes, he also has a good time shopping for furniture, wines and shoes.

Perry, thank you for everything.

Living with Splendour in Brumwell Lane, Cathedraltown

Cathedraltown - what a community of tremendous character and location!  (If you follow this blog, you must have already known how much we "heart" this neighbourhood.  These are the previous posts: here, here and also here.)


Andrin Homes is a key developer of the Cathedraltown project.  We did feature a gorgeous townhome unit on Woodbine Ave By-pass in this YouTube video


For the past couple of years, Andrin has been constructing their Phase 3D 3E,  the area confined by Woodbine Ave By-pass, Alsop Dr, Betty Roman Blvd and Anthony Roman Rd.  Good News to the owners as well as those who are interested in brand new ready-to-move-in homes, these phases will be ready for occupancy this summer.  Yes, only a few weeks away.


We will be putting a number of these stunning detached homes on the market.  Here is an early preview of the excitement in store.


 









These Brumwell Lane units faces a large open green park along the creek with belvederes plus the panoramic view of distinctive architecture of Betty Roman Blvd with Woodbine Ave and Woodbine Ave By-pass on either side.


There will also updates on these new Brumwell Lane homes.  Preview of additional new Cathedraltown homes are coming soon.  So, stay in tune here or join us on Facebook.  Of course, you can also reach us through email
