DP Group ensures win-win cross-border real estate investments

A key to successful real estate investment is letting the experts take the reins.

"Investors may have the interest and money to invest in China but their lack of connections and know-how will impede their success regardless of the potential," says David Poh, CEO of real estate investment consultancy firm DP Group International.

Providing leads and connections to potential joint venture partners to real estate development projects throughout Singapore and overseas, DP Group matches developers with promising partnerships and financing. Its specialisation in real estate enabled the company to tap into a vast network of developers, fund managers, financiers and investors in Singapore, China and the United States.

"We advise where it is best to invest in China, fitting the investor's budget, size and other considerations with the most suitable locations and developers - all with due diligence," Poh says. "We fill the gaps and do the same for Chinese investors looking for real estate investments in Singapore, enabling win-win cross-border investments."

This ability is backed by DP Group's extensive experience as a boutique real estate consultancy specialist, whose projects include various commercial properties and condominiums in Singapore and residential and commercial complexes on the mainland. Poh also manages more than 1,500 real estate agents through David Poh & Associates, which is the leading team in Singapore's largest real estate company, PropNex.

"This is how we are able to go to the very root and train investors - who may be cash-rich but not very investment-savvy - to grow their wealth around real estate," says Poh, who has guided, trained and worked with many real estate investors.
