Chapter 316: Whale-level Tycoon
The entire Beverly Hills area is approximately 6 square miles, or 15 square kilometers.
Among the five real estate agents, three were female. The most beautiful one, named Sophia, approached Fang Hexuan enthusiastically and generously and introduced herself, which made Stephanie slightly jealous.
"Mr. Fang, you may not know that, so far, the development level of the entire Beverly Hills does not exceed 20%. The total number of registered houses does not exceed 6500, and the average land area is 486 square meters."
Fang Hexuan nodded when he heard this. He really didn't know these details that sounded unimportant.
However, what is certain is that the Los Angeles City Government is definitely deliberately controlling the level of real estate development in Beverly Hills.
Decades later, new villas are still being built in Beverly Hills every year, which shows that Americans still understand the principle of taking things slow and steady.
For such a big mountain, there are only less than 6500 houses. It is really too luxurious.
But precisely because of this, things are rare and valuable. The excellent geographical location coupled with the artificial control of the city government has caused the prices of villas in Beverly Hills to remain high for decades.
It can be said that Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, Long Island in New York, and Palm Beach in Florida are the three places where the most expensive luxury villas in the United States are concentrated, which Americans have known since childhood.
How many Hollywood stars have made owning a villa in Beverly Hills, north of Sunset Boulevard, their life goal? Or to put it more directly, owning a villa in Beverly Hills is one of the criteria for distinguishing whether a Hollywood actor is a big star or not.
Legendary movie stars like Marlon Brando and Leonardo DiCaprio are all top-tier Hollywood stars. In Beverly Hills, they could probably only buy a mansion halfway up the mountain.
As for the property above the halfway point of the mountain, it is basically in the pockets of America's super-rich.
The location of this mansion, which is similar to the Egyptian pyramids, actually symbolizes the hierarchical division of wealth, power, and fame among Americans.
This is also one of the reasons why Stephanie's eyes immediately turned red when she heard that Fang Hexuan was going to buy a house in Beverly Hills.
Living in Beverly Hills is like many people selling their kidneys and blood to buy an iPhone. If you talk about it in other people’s minds, others will look up to you.
In the eyes of the 14-year-old girl, if she could move into Beverly Hills with her boyfriend, it would not only be a face-saving thing, but could also be seen as a leap in class.
However, Fang Hexuan's purpose is not that complicated.
He decided to buy a property in Los Angeles, and specifically had his eye on Beverly Hills, for two reasons.
First, I want to come to Los Angeles often and have a fixed place to stay.
Second, it is one of the investment methods to increase the value of personal and corporate assets.
Especially the first one, which is a rigid demand for Fang Hexuan.
After DreamWorks movies entered Hollywood, he would frequently travel to Los Angeles.
Having a luxury house in Beverly Hills is not only convenient for living in, but also suitable for picking up girls.
Just one of these points was enough for him to make up his mind to buy, buy, buy.
He had already made several requests when he contacted a local real estate agency in Los Angeles.
First, villas with an area of less than 500 square meters and buildings with an area of less than 200 square meters will not be considered.
Second, the view from the main entrance of the villa should be open, and there should be no need to consider buildings blocking the view in front.
Third, houses below the halfway point of the mountain are not considered.
Fourth, a single-family villa should have good privacy.
To put it bluntly, even if he wants to buy a house, he plans to buy one with a good location, large area and guaranteed privacy.
Such a house is not only comfortable to live in, but can also be sold at a high price in the future.
Even though the customers had so many requirements, many real estate agencies still had houses to choose from. Fang Hexuan selected the five most powerful companies among them, which led to the scene of five real estate agents gathering at the entrance of the villa.
In fact, the agents who can handle Beverly Hills villas are not ordinary people.
They are basically middle class or above, and many of them have enough commission to buy their own properties after selling several Beverly villas.
Not to mention that these people all have luxury cars that they paid for in full.
For example, Sophia, who took the initiative to get close to Fang Hexuan, is 175 cm tall, with a curvy figure, a typical American sweet girl.
She had only been working as a real estate agent for two years, but she had already sold 62 Beverly Hills luxury homes.
After two years, Sofia not only paid off her more than $30 student loan, but also bought a single-family villa in Los Angeles and Orange County. She even bought herself two cars, a red Ferrari and a BMW, specifically for transportation.
Regardless of whether she achieved such outstanding sales results through her figure or her eloquence, she is already the most famous sales queen in her company.
The real estate agency was not blind. After checking Fang Hexuan's background information, they knew that he was a whale-level super-high-quality customer, so they sent their most powerful employee.
It took Fang Hexuan less than half an hour from the time he went out to notify the agent to the time he arrived at the gate of the villa.
But these real estate agents arrived earlier than them, which shows how much importance the agency attaches to it.
Fang Hexuan did not disclose how many villas he wanted to buy, but the agency still made sufficient preparations.
For example, now, each of the five agents is accompanied by an assistant, who does nothing else but help these agents to collect information.
After Fang Hexuan proposed the order of house viewing, these people immediately gathered together nervously to compare the housing information.
In fact, the concept of halfway up a mountain is not clear. How high is considered halfway up a mountain?
From the main entrance of the villa to the top of the mountain, not counting the winding villa road, it is 8.6 kilometers long.
These people discussed with Fang Hexuan and finally decided to divide the area from 3 kilometers to the middle of the mountain.
Therefore, they will start looking for houses from a distance of more than 3 kilometers.
This means that there are more properties to inspect. Although it is hard work, the five agents are happier.
This time, I accompanied a super rich man to view a house, which was arranged personally by the boss of their company.
We choose them to receive guests because we trust their business capabilities.
But from their own perspective, this is a good opportunity to close a big deal.
Perhaps spending a few days with this rich man could equal their sales performance from the previous few months.
At this time, if you look at more houses, wouldn’t there be a chance to sell more houses?
Fang Hexuan was also shocked by the final house viewing ranking results.
According to his requirements, five agents arranged 5 suitable properties for him.
Even Stephanie Seymour, who was holding his arm, widened her eyes, not to mention Fang Hexuan himself.
Damn, it’s almost 10 o’clock now. Even if they don’t eat lunch and stay here until 6 o’clock in the afternoon, after visiting 8 houses in 386 hours, do they still have the energy to open their eyes?
In desperation, Fang Hexuan could only make a new request. Right at the entrance of the villa, five real estate agents laid out the information of the 5 selected properties on the ground one by one.
He personally flipped through the pages one by one, reading both the text description and the photos of the properties.
After a quick screening after one hour, Fang Hexuan eliminated some houses whose decoration styles he didn't like or whose locations were not pleasing to the eye, and finally left 1 houses.
