Taiwanese-Chinese Speaking Real Estate Agent in New York city

By
Real Estate Agent with Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Being a Chinese Mandarin Speaking Real Estate agent in New York is one of my biggest asset.  Manhattan is a city that has over 40 different world Languages spoken in this town. You could not walk around Manhattan without hearing a foreign accent on the busy street or on Subways. 

As a Chinese Mandarin Speaking Real Estate agent, I have learn majority of my mother tongue while I was growing up in Taipei Taiwan. I was born in Taipei Taiwan (Republic of China) 臺灣, The main island of Taiwan, also known as Formosa (from Portuguese  Formosa, meaning "beautiful (island)"), is located in East Asia off the coast of China, southwest of the main islands of Japan but directly west of the end of Japan's Ryukyu Islands, and north-northwest of the Philippines.

About 80% of the residents in Taiwan speak both Standard Mandarin (officially recognized by the Republic Of China as 

the National Language) and Taiwanese Minnan (commonly known as "Taiwanese"; a variant of Min Nan spoken in Fujian province). Standard Mandarin is the primary language of instruction in schools; however, most spoken media is split between Mandarin and Taiwanese.  I SPEAK BOTH MANDARIN and TAIWANESE, thanks to my grand mother that only speaks Taiwanese so I had to learn the language as a young child to communicate with her. (Here is a photo of my mother and I.)

When our family moved to New York when I was a tennager, going to American schools, I often want to speak English more than Chinese so that I can fit in with others in the school. I often not want to speak much of my own language in school, partly because I was learning my way around how to speak like 'an American girl' with a proper accent. And I learn my English through ESL classes (English as Second Language class) Although my family have always remind me not to forget Chinese language as one day it will be very useful for me. 

So far so true.  Being a Chinese Mandarin Speaking Real Estate Agent in New York, I have been reaping the benefits of being biligual, and working with many sellers and buyers who also share the same culture heritage. I have been servicing oversea investors that speaks Chinese and connecting sellers who would like to sell their property to oversea investors using my language and culture connection.

Eileen, having a second language today is a huge plus in real estate!      I would imagine there are many different languages represented in NYC!    I had a seller from Taiwan a couple years ago, but luckily had a very good command of the English language!

That is a great niche market to be able to serve.  I am working with a Chinese client who speaks Mandarin.  Her english ins't good so I tried to refer her to an agent like youself her in DC but she refused.  I thought that was a little strange but oh well.

BTW, I love Manhattan, do you live there?

Eileen,

It's obviously great that you have a grasp of two Chinese dialects.  You're obviously in the best place for your gifts to do real estate... g

Justin, that does sound strange, maybe because that agent's Mandarin language skill is not so fluent? We love Manhattan New York and live in Upper West Side near Central Park.

Gordon! Thank you for your kind words, always appreciate you stopping by the blogs!

Being Bilingual is very useful when it comes to communicating with someone that does not speak English. Many times, just the fact that one has to learn English, they understand the hand languauge when a non-English speaking person are trying to talk to them.
