I cannot recommend Colly more highly. When I moved to Hong Kong for an expatriate assignment, various agents in Hong Kong were vying for my business to find a rental apartment on the Island. Colly immediately stood out from the crowd by being incredibly responsive and making all site visits easy and efficient. She has a great sense of humor that made a sometimes tedious experience fun. Colly listened to what I said I was looking for, but unlike everyone else she really thought about the context of my circumstances and used her deep knowledge of city properties to show me units that I never felt were a waste of my time to see. She also was excellent in showing me properties in range of my budget. Inventory at the time was limited, and I was picky about ticking most of my boxes given my budget even if I knew I'd have to make compromises, but Colly never got frustrated or gave up. Just as I was about to give up after months of looking and sign a lease on a property I was only lukewarm about, she called me to tell me she thought she found my perfect place and to wait one more day while she arranged for me to see a place not yet on the rental listings. Sure enough it was amazing and ticked all of my boxes. I am still so grateful to her for finding this apartment. Living there has made my time in Hong Kong all the more memorable and special. Colly handled all of the paperwork and negotiations with tremendous expertise (I say that as an attorney) and obtained a price under my budget.

For new brands in the China market, securing the correct locations and negotiating with Landlords can be quite challenging. Fortunately, we were able to obtain the services of Colly and CBRE to really move our business forward in China. Over a relatively short period of time Colly was able to organize a great list of potential sites and opportunities that were very good for our brand and business. Colly displayed a great knowledge and understanding of our company which meant she was able to identify the correct brand and revenue driving opportunities in the market place for our company. Colly is able to negotiate and influence at various levels which means that she can move fast, and with clarity, to deliver results. Sometimes working as the intermediary between Global brands and local landlords can be very challenging and confusing. Colly has displayed a fantastic level of professionalism, patience and determination to keep moving forward and deliver the desired outcome that will give our brand the needed boost in the China retail environment. Colly has also shown great energy and ability to work cross culturally with our Regional and China team that has been very well received and helped speed up the decision making process. I would be happy to speak more regarding Colly as required.
