Beike (Lianjia)

A major Chinese real estate platform for buying, selling, and renting property, built on the legacy of the well-established Lianjia brokerage. About Beike (Lianjia): Beike (贝壳), operating under the well-known Lianjia (链家) brand for its brokerage services, is one of China's largest online-to-offline real estate platforms, combining online property listings with a network of physical brokerage offices and agents. Key Features: Extensive Listings: Large database of properties for sale and rent across Chinese cities. Agent Network: Access to Lianjia's established network of real estate agents for in-person support. VR Property Tours: Virtual reality walkthroughs available for many listings. Transaction Support: Assistance through the buying or renting process, not just listing discovery. How to Get Started: Download the Beike or Lianjia app and search for your desired city and property criteria. Browse listings, using VR tours where available to preview properties remotely. Contact the listing agent to arrange an in-person viewing. Work with the agent through the offer, contract, and transaction process. Important Notice: As with any real estate platform, verify property details, ownership, and any fees directly with the agent — and note that as a foreigner, purchasing property in China involves specific eligibility requirements tied to your visa and residence status.
