BEIJING, May 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ — Jipingmi.com, the leading real
estate search engine in China, officially launched an English version of
the search yesterday. English.Jipingmi.com collects real estate property
listings from a variety of English property listing sources and organizes
the results into one, easy to use, search platform.
Since the launch of Jipingmi.com (Mandarin for “How many square
meters?” or “A few square meters”) in late 2007, Jipingmi.com has rapidly
emerged to be amongst the top players in the Chinese real estate search
engine market. Jipingmi.com now aims to open the platform to international
users.
Jipingmi Co-founder and VP Strategic Development, Alex Farfurnik said
English.Jipingmi.com will organize the foreign real estate market in China.
“There are over 6 million foreigners living in China, and the number is
constantly growing. All these people need housing solutions and often turn
to the internet to look for related information. The number of websites
that provide real estate listings is increasing rapidly as well. There are
more and more Chinese and foreign companies aiming to target foreign
clients.
“Currently the foreign real estate market in China is very fragmented
and there is a growing need to organize this market. Altogether, this makes
it a perfect time for Jipingmi to come in and assist the market by using
its superior technology and industry knowledge to help and connect all
sides: home seekers, foreign targeted companies and English websites in
China.” Mr. Farfurnik said.
Jipingmi Co-founder and Co-CEO, Guy Sivan said English Jipingmi.com is
designed specially to suit the unique needs of the foreign real estate
market in China.
“The English version of Jipingmi.com was designed with the target
market in mind. Understanding that the local knowledge of many foreigners
is limited, English.jipingmi.com provides several creative features to
assist home seekers including map-based navigation and housing complex
information for housing complexes that are most relevant to foreigners. The
Interface of English.Jipingmi.com was completely redesigned and looks
entirely different from the Chinese website in order to answer the unique
needs of the foreigners In China.” Mr. Sivan said.
English.Jipingmi.com is currently focusing on Beijing and is using this
opportunity to provide special features for the Beijing 2008 Olympics, such
as short-term rentals. It is estimated that around 500,000 foreigners will
stay in Beijing during the Olympics.
