PK Wong is an Australian who lives in Hong Kong. He contacted a large Australian real estate company in HK, that advertises extensively on You Tube, Facebook and on TV.
He was considering purchasing an apartment "off-the-plan" in Sydeny, which is where he was from, although he has been working in HK for the past 15 years.
The apartment had to be large enough for his wife and young child should they decide to relocate back to Sydney, but in the meantime he wanted to rent it out and protect his capital.
The real estate company offered him a selection of over 10 developments to choose from. Being from Sydney himself, he knew MOST of the locations quite well, and PK and his wife were able to narrow it down to a choice of three possible developments.

He looked into the locations, the "walk score", the "transit score", stock on market, a suburb report, a risk analysis report, and then lloked at each potential aprartment design, fittings, quality, outlook and view, body coporate restrictions, floor plan desirability, and again, much more.
By week two PK had decided on which project was best for him and his young family.
Then after he selected his preferred floor plan, Mike negotiated with the agent a special offer on what the agent had told PK was "non-negotiable" price and terms.
Mike introduced an experienced (and affordable) property laywer to look through the contract,
