Real estate brokers suddenly in demand

Over the past two years, due to economic impacts, many real estate companies have had to downsize or even suspend operations. However, recently, thanks to signs of increased housing demand, the market has seen a more positive signal.

According to Mr. KQD, Director of a real estate company in Ho Chi Minh City, his company is looking to recruit more brokers to best serve customers.

"It is true that the real estate market is still gloomy, but I believe that the market is gradually improving. The current recruitment of brokers not only reflects the market's recovery but also reflects the company's upcoming strategic direction.

"I want to train staff before the market catches up so that I can serve customers quickly and effectively," Mr. KQD shared.

Mr. Nguyen Tat Thinh, owner of Housezy Joint Stock Company in Ho Chi Minh City, said that real estate brokerage floors are recruiting sales staff again to run sales programs for recently opened projects and catch up with the market's recovery momentum in the near future.

"Over the past year, very few brokers have survived. Real estate floors are mostly recruiting to fill the positions of employees who have quit before. Many brokers have switched to other jobs, so recruiting this time is quite difficult," Mr. Thinh assessed.

Mr. NMH, a broker in Ho Chi Minh City, shared that his work has been more stable recently, partly because bank lending interest rates have continuously decreased, and people who want to sell real estate have also been more comfortable negotiating.

"This month, I also had a few customers contact me to see the land, and luckily I was able to close 2 lots. Enough to take care of my family" - Mr. H. boasted.

According to Savills Vietnam's Q3/2023 real estate market report, the apartment market in Ho Chi Minh City has seen many improvements. The number of new apartments increased by 572% compared to the previous period and increased by 11% compared to the same period last year, reaching 2,528 units.

Of which, Thu Duc City accounts for 74% of the market share, of which Vinhome Grand Park – The Glory Heights (grade B) accounts for 59% of the market share. Other new supplies include grade B and C projects in Binh Tan district and Binh Chanh district.

Transaction volume in the third quarter reached 2,003 units, up 561% compared to the previous quarter and double compared to the same period last year.

According to Savills, developers have adopted a variety of sales policies, including support for interest and principal payments in the early stages, extended payment schedules and rental commitment programs.

"Lower lending interest rates and support measures from the Government are expected to stimulate supply growth and boost the market," said Mr. Troy Griffiths, Deputy General Director of Savills Vietnam.
