Review

Everything was great, the apartment was in good condition, everything looked like in the pictures and the landlord was accommodating but we did had a couple issues you should keep in mind.Getting the deposit back was hard, we did not get any option to receive a transfer for a non-Chinese/Alipay/WeChat account, and there were no pictures from the building which was not what we expected (entrance, elevator, exterior, etc.) so I recommend inquiring before committing to an apartment.

Hello Carlos,

Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’re glad the apartment met your expectations and that you had a good experience with the landlord.

Regarding the deposit, we understand the frustration. Navigating international transfers from China can be complex due to local banking regulations, but we are actively looking into more flexible solutions for our international residents. We also appreciate the note about the building’s exterior and common areas; we are currently updating our listings to include more comprehensive photos of the entrances and elevators to provide a full picture before move-in.

Don’t expect anything from them before you sent the money

They will do everything to sell.
Don’t trust the pictures, they were taken 10 years ago.
Special shoutout to the CEO “mat” who, when I asked for help regarding my WeChat account, told me that he would answer my question only after I paid for the place 🤣 And to top it all, once I did pay, I asked again multiple time and he never answered once. what a way to make business and to show his team how to act …!!!
Otherwise Sophia was very professional but still, it’s a pricy option compared to others.

Hello Augustin Daviaud,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear Sophia provided professional service, though we are sorry to hear you felt frustrated otherwise.

Regarding your interaction with our management: our team prioritizes securing housing and managing logistics for all incoming residents. While we try to assist with personal tech issues like WeChat setup as a courtesy, our primary focus remains on the move-in process and apartment readiness. We apologize if there was a misunderstanding regarding the timing of that assistance.

Regarding our photos, we regularly update our portfolio to ensure they reflect the current state of our properties. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on balancing our high-touch service with clear expectations.

Not good services

Not good services. Huge ethical problem as they work in the same company of the landlords. At the moment you will have a problem with the landlord they won’t help you as they are scarfed to loose their contact.

Hey Ben,

Thank you for your feedback. We have no record of a resident under your name experiencing this issue. We’d like to look into this further, please reach out to us directly at hello@hereici.com so we can address your specific situation.

We take all concerns regarding our ethics and service standards very seriously. However, we would like to clarify that our role is specifically to bridge the gap between residents and owners to ensure fair treatment for both. We have clear protocols in place to protect our residents' interests, and we do not shy away from resolving disputes.

They’ve Got You, Just Like They Had Me!

I had such a good experience with HERE! They helped me find my apartment in Shanghai in less than a week, and the whole process was super smooth. The team was so nice, fast to reply, and always ready to help. If you’re moving to Shanghai and feel lost, don’t worry because they’ve got you!

Seamless relocation experience in Shanghai!

As an expat moving to Shanghai, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Here Real Estate Agency. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for.

They helped me find a beautifully renovated apartment that matched both my budget and lifestyle. What made the difference was how personal and supportive they were throughout the whole process. It wasn’t just about finding an apartment, it was about helping me settle into a new city with confidence.

Their relocation support was also incredibly helpful. From setting everything up to answering random questions I had, they made my first few weeks in Shanghai so much easier.

I highly recommend Here to any expats or international professionals planning a move to China. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home.

Amazing team, great support

Amazing team, I went to China in 2021 during Covid and thanks to Mathias I found a hidden gem in Shanghai. They made the full process so seamless while China can be really tiresome for non native speakers. Big kudos to the team, great support, super helpful and thanks to them I made friendship that will last a lifetime 🧡

Wonderful team

Using HERE Agency to book my apartment in Shanghai was a great experience, from the WhatsApp contact to the visits upon my arrival, the team accompanied me in French.
They then accompanied me throughout my stay, assisting me in discussions with my Chinese landlord for each of my questions or small problems.
I sincerely recommend them if you need to stay in Shanghai!
