Nobody knows the ins and outs of Sanya and the surrounding area better than Mario Cavolo. Still maintaining his office and residence in Shanghai since 2000, his decision to establish a presence in Sanya took place almost six years ago in August 2003. With a diverse range of longstanding relationships and client projects in the China business community including some of the world's top multinational companies, you can expect to be well taken care of by someone with experience and integrity. Mario is a professional speaker, executive coach, corporate event emcee, and the founder of www.sanyaexpat.com. And to be more blunt, at 49 years old with ten years doing business in China, he possesses the instincts and judgment to know who we should and shouldn't get involved with in business.

First Step: The first step of service provided includes sitting down together for half a day or so during which time you will be given a detailed background of the property market in Sanya including all the key surrounding bay areas. During this time of course we identify your specific interests and requirements.

Second Step: We schedule one to two days together as needed viewing selected properties available on the market and visiting sales centers. Of course you are free to spend as much time as you wish independently exploring and researching the property market.

Feel Free to Contact Us Here for any additional inquiries.

Mario keeps his finger constantly on the pulse of the market and will continue to guide you in the Sanya area, on the ground, by telephone, by email, as needed, as you continue your property market research.

Third Step: Competent legal representation and protection is essential. When you do make the decision to buy a property, our business attorney based in Haikou will handle the property purchase contract from beginning to end together with the real estate agency office that writes the standard property purchase contract for your property. Our attorney will assist and review all documents in communication with seller/agent every step of the purchase process related to legal matters and structure of the purchase agreement, schedule of purchase payments, government office tax payments, to the final sale completion, key handover and final receipt of property deed to you.

We represent you. We protect you. That is the sum total of what we offer. We keep every step clear between you, the buyer, the real estate agent and the seller. We give you a place to turn every time another question or concern is raised. There are countless case histories, both simple and complicated, where a buyer or seller has said to them self "I wish I had used an attorney." Indeed we are in a foreign country and are more likely to face our property deal developing problems and conflicts, particularly when purchasing a second hand property from a private person or entity. The current procedure in China for buying and selling property is cumbersome yet in fact, fairly reasonable. However it does NOT include the use of a neutral escrow account, making both buyer and seller prone to the emotions of worry and distrust.
