Darlene, happy to help with this one, agent to agent. Two reliable ways to find a strong Mandarin-speaking agent beyond this platform's own search filters: - AREAA, the Asian Real Estate Association of America, has chapters in every major metro and a searchable member directory. Agents active in AREAA tend to be exactly the community-connected, language-capable professionals you want on the other end of a referral, and you can filter by market. - Call the managing brokers at the big brokerages in your target market and ask specifically for their top Mandarin-speaking agent by production. Managing brokers know precisely who this is, and an agent recommended by their own broker tends to take referral relationships seriously. Two practical notes for the referral itself: paper the referral agreement broker to broker before you make the introduction (not after the client is already working with them), and interview two or three candidates with your client's actual needs in mind (price point, neighborhood, investor vs primary) rather than going on language alone. The language skill gets them in the door; the market skill closes the deal. I am a real estate professional in Los Angeles' South Bay, which has one of the largest Mandarin-speaking buyer and seller communities in the country, and my network includes excellent Mandarin-speaking agents both here in Southern California and in other major markets. If your client is heading to California, or you just want an introduction, reach out and I will connect you directly. Zoltan
