5i5j Realty offices serve as a bridge for China-based buyers and renters looking to purchase or rent residential and investment property in Chicago and the U.S.

In China, 5i5j Group is a highly recognizable brand and has the ability to deliver an international customer base to American property owners.

5i5j’s hugely successful China-facing overseas property marketing website reaches over 100 million Chinese buyers annually. This website extends distribution well beyond the MLS, thus increasing the pool of potential buyers and equating to more sales possibilities – a benefit for both agents and sellers, alike.

For many Chinese today, global property investing is now a hot commodity. 5i5j Realty alleviates the challenges of reaching, communicating and engaging this new market. Property is the preferred investment for Chinese, as it showcases wealth and can offer a stable return. China boasts some of the wealthiest people in the world and the growing population of upper-middle class Chinese are focused on purchasing international property.

Serving international clients requires specialized knowledge on the part of the REALTOR® relating to immigration, tax, property, financing, and other regulations. Cultural affinity and knowledge of client preferences also play an important role in nurturing relationships with international clients. With 5i5j’s experienced international brokers, foreign buyers will be in the best hands.

For the third consecutive year, Chinese foreign buyers were the top buyers in terms of the number of units purchased and in dollar volume, purchasing $31.7 billion worth of residential property.
