Q: Renting out an apartment in Shanghai - Can anyone recommend a good online platform?

Looking to rent out an apartment in Shanghai (local house agencies remind me of the movie Jaws) - Can anyone recommend a good platform/online place to make a listing?

Have made a quick online search but dozens of sites came up and who knows if anyown actually looks at those.

Thanks for your input!

haha, a fine description, Jaws. I use Centaline, a HK based property agent with branches all over prc. Interview the tenants obviously. The best tenants, in my experience, come from MNCs (multinational corp) which pay you directly, the tenant being their senior expat staff, technical or management. Punctual rental payment. Not a single scratch to my brandnew deco and that includes the wooden floor even after years of renting. Avoid the locals if at all possible. http://listings.findthecompany.com/l/55807985/Shanghai-Centaline-Property-Agency-Co-Ltd

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
