CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intero International Franchise Services, LLC, announced the opening of its first office in Hong Kong, solidifying its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the first Intero© owned office outside of the United States.

Intero U.S. Realtor Kenny Lo will head the new office, located at the One International Finance Centre at 1 Harbour View Street, Central, in Hong Kong. Lo has served Intero real estate clients since 2009 with dedication and integrity, attracting investors from Hong Kong and across the Pacific region to U.S. residential and commercial properties.

Robert Moles, chairman of Intero, said, "A number of Hong Kong investors are already waiting to take advantage of opportunities in U.S. and Bay Area real estate markets in particular. The Asia-Pacific region's economic growth, high real estate prices and rising currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have created a lot of interest in U.S. properties."

"Expanding the Intero brand in the Asia-Pacific region is important to the brand's reputation as a global leader," said Intero CEO Gino Blefari. "Kenny Lo is a perfect representative – a stellar Intero agent, working directly from Hong Kong, bridging the Pacific divide. Hong Kong investors will now have knowledge and access to real estate markets throughout the Bay Area."

Lo said, "We have several active real estate deals already in progress with Hong Kong investors and U.S. properties. I'm proud to be a pioneer for Intero Hong Kong."

The opening of Intero Hong Kong follows the recent launch of the Intero Shanghai license with Global Gate Property Corp (“GGP”). GGP is an international real estate group, who works with investors seeking to gain exposure to real estate investment opportunities.
