Opportunities to join one of the fastest-growing real estate sectors are on offer to specialists in real estate, valuation and appraisal who can commit to regional travel requirements.

A global consulting and services organisation that is focused on the hotel and leisure industries is seeking to recruit valuation managers, senior managers and directors. Headquartered in New York, HVS is the world's leading hotel and leisure property valuation, consultancy and investment services firm and boasts 25 offices worldwide.

HVS's experience in strategic consulting, valuation and investment advisory services spans more than 15,000 hotels and resorts in 60 countries for major owners, developers, investors, financiers and government institutions.

'As part of its growth strategy for Asia, HVS is recruiting talented professionals to join its expanding team in Hong Kong and Beijing, covering the Greater China and Asia region,' said David Ling, managing director of Asia for HVS Global Hospitality Services.

The ideal applicant would have a university degree in real estate, valuation or appraisal, Mr Ling said. Professional qualifications from the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors or the API, or similar institutes, would be a distinct advantage, he said.

Training will be provided to develop specialised skills in valuing hotel and leisure properties.

Applicants should also have a good command of written and spoken English and Putonghua. Mr Ling said it was also advisable to demonstrate strong analytical skills, and the ability to pay attention to detail. Applicants should be willing to travel regularly in the region.
