Chelsea Hu

Raised in China Chelsea studied and completed an engineering bachelor degree in China and worked for Shanghai Marine Engine Research Institute. This gave Chelsea a stable base for planning large projects with tight time constraints and deadlines which made her highly efficient and effective and well organised. Chelsea has a wide range of knowledge in the foreign exchange stock market and investing circles. These things Chelsea now brings to the Real Estate industry and is highly organised and efficient at planning and marketing. Her accounting skills also help with planning marketing campaigns and negotiating. Chelsea prides herself at being able to communicate with several nationalities and has friends in China and Japan whom she is in regular contact with. Many of her overseas friends would like to have investments in New Zealand which Chelsea can assist with. Since joining Harcourts Chelsea has marketed some successful auctions and campaigns to achieve excellent prices for her owners. Chelsea’s ability to be able to communicate with Mandarin speakers allows her to be able to market properties overseas and locally. One of her recent auction campaigns featured on the front of the Chinese press and gained maximum exposure in the local Chinese market place. Chelsea is friendly, approachable and well organised and can make sure you get the very best service an agent can provide. Her friendly nature is well received by her clients and complete strangers she meets at open homes find it easy to converse with her. Chelsea also enjoys interior decorating and is able to help her owners to guide them to best present their property. In fact recently Chelsea donned her cleaning gloves and helped an owner get their home ready prior to an open home. Now that’s what I call great client service. You will be happy that you chose Chelsea as your agent and can be guaranteed of a friendly organised service.
