Chapter 317 Panic
Even after Fang Hexuan's round of screening, there are still 204 properties to choose from.
Whether to watch it or not is not an easy choice.
If he wanted to watch it, it wouldn't be possible to finish it in a day or two. According to his own estimation, it would take at least ten days or half a month.
But if you don’t see it, how can you choose your favorite house?
Stephanie beside her was flipping through the information of the 200 or so villas she had selected, her drooling almost coming out. It seemed that she liked every one of them.
Fang Hexuan was also in a dilemma. He thought for a moment and decided to choose a few suitable ones himself today, and then ask Wanda to send a team to Los Angeles to help with the selection.
In recent years, Wanda’s property management company has performed well in the real estate rental market, and Fang Hexuan originally planned to let them help him manage his personal property.
Moreover, when he came to Beverly Hills to look at houses, he had planned from the beginning that he would buy both top-notch villas for his own personal use and some villas suitable for investment or rental.
The former is under his own name, and the latter is recorded in Wanda’s accounts, which is equivalent to Wanda buying these villas.
But ultimately, both types of properties will be handed over to Wanda’s property management subsidiary.
Even the properties that Fang Hexuan purchases in other places in the future, whether in Europe or Australia, will be handed over to this subsidiary for unified management.
Now that this arrangement has been decided, Fang Hexuan felt a lot more relaxed.
As for whether these five real estate agents would be greatly disappointed, that was not within his consideration at all.
After greeting Stephanie, Fang Hexuan coughed and said to several agents:
"Thank you all for your hard work, I didn't expect there would be so many properties to choose from."
"However, my time is limited. I can only stay in Los Angeles for a few days this time. I don't have that much time to slowly choose houses one by one."
"So, I can only reluctantly choose a few villas that I like the most from these 204 properties to visit."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that the expressions on the faces of these real estate agents and their assistants suddenly turned ugly.
Yes, they worked hard for a long time and finally picked out about 200 houses, but in the end they only bought a few at once. The gap was too big.
It’s not that these people lack professional qualities, but the psychological gap is too big for them to accept it for a while.
Think about it, Mr. Fang is a super rich man. Before he came to see the house, he made it clear that he didn't care about the price. He is definitely a man with a lot of money.
People say that in the antique business, if you don’t make money for three years, you can make a profit for three years after you start.
But in the eyes of these agents, if they could get Fang Hexuan to buy more houses, wouldn't that be enough to make three years of living on one order?
But now, because there are too many houses, it is difficult for the other party to choose, so they simply don’t look at them and only pick the best ones.
Although the profits of the top-level properties are several times that of mid-level properties, and more than ten times that of ordinary properties.
But who among these people would be reluctant to sell a few more sets and earn a few more commissions?
Since the customer said so, what else can these real estate agents do? They can only put on a fake smile and help the customer choose from these 204 units again.
Fang Hexuan had to look at the housing information again and spent another half an hour selecting 15 top-notch villas.
These villas almost all have common features.
First, the villa covers an area of more than 2000 square meters, and the building area is not less than 800 square meters. Second, it is a single-family house with a separate garden, swimming pool, and fence, which provides excellent privacy.
The number of house viewings suddenly dropped to double digits. Fang Hexuan felt relieved, and his enthusiasm for visiting houses also increased a lot.
The 15 houses he selected are almost all within 6-8 kilometers of the villa road.
So, a group of 8 cars headed straight to this area.
They visited five top-notch villas in two hours, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Originally Fang Hexuan planned to go down the mountain to have lunch, but Stephanie was more excited than him. She didn't feel tired or hungry at all.
This is probably the same reason why female animals can walk around the streets all day without eating or drinking.
In desperation, Fang Hexuan could only arrange for four bodyguards to go down the mountain to buy some pizzas from a pizza shop at the entrance of the villa and send them up.
Although he had already looked at six villas, Fang Hexuan did not immediately agree to buy them.
He wanted to watch all 15 sets as quickly as possible, compare them, and choose the best and most satisfactory ones.
The house-viewing group of 20 people relied on pizza and cola to replenish their energy at noon so that they had the strength to continue moving in the afternoon.
At Fang Hexuan's level, he wouldn't look at a house so carefully. After he had a general understanding of the house type, decoration style, and geographical location, he could make a decision whether to buy it or not.
Therefore, they look for houses relatively quickly, and most of their time is actually spent driving on the road.
At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, we had finished viewing all 15 villas. The last one was at an altitude of 616m, almost reaching the top of Beverly Hills.
It was in this villa that Fang Hexuan decided to buy six houses on his own.
they are, respectively:
1. 1028 Ridgedale Dr, Beverly Hills, which is the last one we looked at, covers an area of 1.2 acres, or 4856 square meters, with an open area of 3826 square meters and a building area of 2260 square meters. It has 12 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, a bar, game room, wine cellar, theater, swimming pool/spa, gym, sauna, and two garages that can park eight cars.
2. 815 Cord Cir, Beverly Hills, covers an area of 3038 square meters, with an open area of 2238 square meters and a building area of 1242 square meters. It has 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a Roman-style swimming pool, murals and lush gardens, as well as two parking lots and 3 garages that can accommodate 15 cars.
3. 1026 Ridgedale Dr, Beverly Hills, is a single-story structure with a land area of 5226 square meters, an open area of 4188 square meters, and a building area of 1038 square meters. It has 5 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a large garden, and beautiful scenery.
4. 1006 N Rexford Dr, Beverly Hills, covers an area of 4613 square meters, with an open area of 3715 square meters and a building area of 1135 square meters. It has 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The interior decoration is antique, with a brick-concrete structure and a typical British style.
5. 1005 N Rexford Dr, Beverly Hills, covers an area of 3906 square meters, with an open area of 3108 square meters and a building area of 1300 square meters. It has 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
6. 9555 Heather Rd., Beverly Hills, single-story structure, with a land area of 4667 square meters, an open area of 9739 square meters, a building area of 928 square meters, 9 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms.
When Fang Hexuan selected these 15 properties from the 6 properties, the agents whose properties were selected were delighted, while the agents who were going to return empty-handed felt like eggplants hit by frost.
There was no way. Although no offer had been made yet, they all knew that such top-level villas would be priced at over tens of millions of dollars, and that the individual commission for selling one would start at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
