So you’re moving to China and if you’re lucky your company is providing what’s called a “Look-See” visit. This is when you’ll have the chance to see a bunch of homes, schools and neighborhoods that could fit you and your family’s needs. Now, this “Look-See” is quick—too quick, some would say—and it can feel like a bit of a whirlwind. You may have just a few days to make what feels like really, really, really important decisions about your first stage as a China expat.

In this show with relocation expert Adam McWhirter, he walks us through what to look for in a home. He reorients our expectations and shares how balance is a crucial element of a successful negotiation. This show is great for those who have a company backing their look-see and housing choices AND for those who are going it alone. Tune in to be better prepared for the home search and orientation phase of your exciting relocation to China.

You must be upfront you can be with your needs—no matter what they may be.
