Top Sotheby's brokers discuss buying habits of Chinese investors

When asked to describe Chinese buyers during The Real Deal’s second annual U.S. Real Estate Showcase and Forum in Shanghai, Sotheby’s International Realty’s Nikki Field responded with one word: “sophisticated.”

“They now understand that our market has softened a bit and they’re looking for good value, strong opportunity and immediate return,” Field said in a one-on-one interview with TRD’s managing web editor Hiten Samtani.
