APR Attends LPS Property Showcase in Beijing

Monday, July 14th, 2014

Saratoga, California (PRWEB) June 19, 2014

Alain Pinel Realtors (APR) had a network of agents accompany Michi Olson, APR Vice President, Global Business Development and Relocation, to the LPS Property Showcase, held May 16-18 in Beijing. Olson spoke at the event, presenting on Bay Area lifestyle, the state of the local market, and living in the area.

This invitation-only expo welcomed an audience of Chinese luxury property buyers, high-end investors, and wealthy individuals. Now in its seventh year, the event held at the Legendale Hotel featured over 80 exhibitioners from over 20 countries and focused on international high-end properties, with 5,000 targeted visitors in attendance. Firmly established as Beijings leading luxury property show, the event allows Chinese luxury home owners to interact with well-known property developers from China and leading overseas luxury real estate professionals, like Alain Pinel Realtors.

APRs participation in the conference coincides with the launch of their International Marketing Strategy last month, targeting the rapidly growing number of international real estate homebuyers investing in the San Francisco Bay Area. As well as launching China.APR.com, the firms Chinese language website, APR announced expanded international listing syndication, affiliate offices in China, image ads in international publications, relationships with service providers and financial institutions, and personalized international client assistance.

The conference served as a unique opportunity for APR agents to network and build international relationships in China and with other global luxury real estate professionals, said Olson. The LPS conference is yet another example of how the business world is getting smaller.

The experience gained from the event helps APR agents to better guide international buyers, as well as gain more exposure for their listings. According to Bob Brushwyler, APR Saratoga, the quality and interest of the contacts was of a higher caliber, and agents came away with more new contacts than from any past LPS conference.

Mark Wong and Daphne Chou, APR Saratoga, visited a well-established Beijing real estate brokerage firm which shares a similar philosophy as APR. The founder and CEO invited them to speak to all their agents and staff regarding the current housing market in the San Francisco Bay Area. They were invited back to Beijing next month to speak at a widely-publicized real estate and investment seminar.

APR agents explored future partnership possibilities with other brokerage firms, wealth management companies, investment consultants, and individual entrepreneurs, said Wong. We gained first-hand experience about Chinese culture, business practices, and real estate opportunities, and also visited Central Government financial institutions to learn more about their monetary policies.

According to the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) Annual Housing Market Survey, the share of international buyers is growing in California, with 30% of international buyers coming from China. In a recent interview with Forbes, Wong said international investors look to buy in the US to diversify their portfolio. C.A.R.s 2013 International Real Estate Consumer Survey shows 16% of international buyers as interested in investment/tax advantages in the US, and 38% of buyers intending to use their property as an investment or rental. With its weather, business opportunities, and public education system, the Silicon Valley is a natural target for these buyers.

Chinese clients look for brand-new, furnished single-family homes built with high-quality materials. Important home amenities among international buyers according to the international survey are designer kitchens, outdoor pools, and hot tubs.

According to the international survey, 69% of international buyers are bringing in all cash offers, have a median income of $ 260k, and are highly educated, with 82% being college educated. As this increase in investment buyers translates to an increase in rentals and fewer owner occupied homes, there is a transition in local neighborhoods, with communities becoming increasingly diversified.

Building Intelligence Presents SV3-Vehicle at ISC West New Product Showcase; the Evolution of Security

Sunday, April 13th, 2014


New York, NY (PRWEB) March 27, 2014

The New Product Showcase takes place at the ISC West convention in Las Vegas on April 1st, 2014. Building Intelligence will be showcasing its new product SV3. Expanding on access management, SV3 is the next generation in vehicle access management for both entry points and loading docks. As Vehicles, visitors, and vendors pose several critical risks that should not be ignored. SV3 provides the means to mange these risks.

The Building Intelligence team understands that the greatest risks never use the front door and that access points in the back of a facility are many times the most vulnerable. The magnitude of risk can be as little as an expired insurance certificate or as horrific as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VB-IED).

Building Intelligence is the leading provider of cloud based services and enterprise solutions designed to address these particular risks. SV3, by Building Intelligence, provides the tools to manage the three Vs (Vehicle, Visitor, Vendor) to reduce environmental risks associated with unknown vehicles and drivers.

One objective of the application is to maintain high standards of risk mitigation by qualifying vehicles, visitors, and vendors as they enter a secured area. Using our SecureVendor solution, facility manager can enroll vendors to expedite entry and pre-screen vendor staff and vehicles.

SV3 enhances processes and workflows that promote the screening and pre-registration of visitors, vehicles, drivers and vendor companies. This combination of services provide a significant deterrence to terrorism, theft, and abuse by vendors. Everyone is identified. Everyone is accountable.

Along with the operational efficiencies that SV3 generates, SV3 provides real-time reports on access, throughput and usage. The SV3 application helps facilitate the interactions between tenants, facility management, and security personnel.

Upon arrival of the vehicle, SV3 captures the vehicle and driver identity and validates that it is on schedule. SV3 will immediately recognize and associate vehicles and drivers who are enrolled. The system alternatively may be deployed in a discovery mode such that it associates new vehicles and drivers as they arrive for the first time, and identifies them accurately on future returns.

Secure Visitor allows authorized personnel to pre-register visitors and track their entry and exit. An email notification is sent to the visitor upon scheduling and to the requestor upon arrival of the visitor. Visitors may also be checked in against one or multiple watch lists, providing actionable intelligence to the guard or concierge on the spot when they arrive. Having an efficient, secure way of managing unknown people coming into the facility makes employees feel safe and visitors feel welcome.

Secure Vendor is a portal hosted by Building Intelligence to collect vendor information as per a clients requirements. The vendors profile includes information such as vehicles and drivers who will be making deliveries on location for instantaneous recognition by SV3-Vehicle upon their arrival. Certificates of insurance documents are managed electronically in the portal as well, including auto-generated notification of expiration or insufficient levels, resulting in 100% compliance to insurance requirements at all times. This feature replaces what has historically been a very labor intensive process on both the vendor and the facility manager.

At ISCWest all of these products will be showcased to feature the innovative solution that is SV3. According to Building Intelligence’s CEO Jeffrey C. Friedman, “this product has the potential to transform vendor and visitor management for every type of facility. Whether it’s a commercial building, a campus, or a mall, SV3 provides the ability to turn a cost center into a secure efficient profit center. This is a leap in the evolution of access management and security operations.”

About Building Intelligence Inc.

Building Intelligence Inc. is a cloud-based service provider delivering solutions to securely manage the entry of visitors, vehicles and ultimately vendors into a facility. Used by commercial, residential and government, Building Intelligence clientele consists of several high profile multi-use properties.

Yamaha Disklavier Featured in Titans of Business and The Best of Design Showcase at Historic Greystone Mansion

Thursday, January 9th, 2014


Beverly Hills, Calif. (PRWEB) November 22, 2013

Yamaha today announced that its Disklavier DC6XE3PRO performance-reproducing piano has been selected for placement in the Titans of Business and The Best of Design show house at the historic Greystone Mansion. The elegant 7-foot instrument, which can play itself via pre-recorded content and performances from remote locations over the Internet, was chosen as part of the Stevie Wonder-inspired Music Room conceptualized by star designer Lisa Turner of Interior Obsession. The show house is open through November 24.

Produced by Design House International (DHI), City of Beverly Hills and Friends of Greystone Mansion, the Titans of Business and The Best of Design show house project presents a series of interiors created by the countrys most acclaimed designers that were inspired by either their high-powered clients or other acclaimed business leaders.

By DHIs definition, a titan is a leader who is respected within his/her industry, and can be characterized as a visionary who is powerful, creative and industrious. One of the most celebrated and prominent figures in popular music, singer, songwriter, musician and producer Stevie Wonder is equally known for his global humanitarian efforts, philanthropic leadership and generosity of spirit. His classic and timeless musical contributions have earned Oscar, Golden Globe and multiple Grammy Awards.

According to Yamaha, the Disklavier DC6XE3PRO combines the unrivalled touch, tone, elegance and style of traditional Yamaha acoustic pianos with cutting edge digital piano features. For instance, musicians can connect a camcorder to the instrument to record video of their own performances that can be viewed on demand in perfect sync with the piano playing their exact keystrokes and pedal movements. Also, a free iOS Disklavier Controller app enables operation of many of the models’ basic functions (volume, song playback start and stop, music media selection, DisklavierRadio, etc.) to be operated from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. For this presentation, the instrument will be playing a steady stream of Stevie Wonders greatest hits.

Stevie Wonder is iconic in the entertainment world, and in our culture in general, for his artistic voice and the way he helped shape the path of popular music. He insisted that a Yamaha piano be included in this room designed in his honor, said Lisa Turner of Interior Obsession. The Disklavier not only sounds great, but offers technology that represents the evolution in how music will be played and enjoyed in the home. Like Stevie, this instrument is pushing boundaries.

The Disklavier DC6XE3PRO also features DisklavierTV powered by RemoteLive technology, which enables a performer to play a Disklavier in one location and have that performance recreated note for note on remote Disklaviers in locations around the world simultaneously.

Additional interiors within the mansion reflect the individual styles of the likes of John Jacob Astor, Jim Henson, Julia Child, Coco Chanel, Halston and William Randolph Hearst, as well as others who represent business leadership in entertainment, import/export, wine, new media, silicon valley, manufacturing, fashion, finance and real estate areas.

This truly eye-popping event represents the last word in style and elegance from the view of visionaries and forward-thinkers. We feel our Disklavier reflects this approach to the piano, said Jim Levesque, Yamahas Disklavier marketing manager. Not only do we recognize the musical genius of Stevie Wonder, we have the pleasure of seeing him from time to time at music industry shows and events. Weve always appreciated his interest and enthusiasm for Yamaha.

Greystone Mansion, located at 905 Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills, is one of the few nationally registered historic landmarks in California and has been the backdrop for countless movies and TV shows including X-Men, Spider-Man, There Will Be Blood, Dark Shadows, The Big Lebowski, The Gilmore Girls and the Bodyguard.

The Titans of Business and The Best of Design is open to the public on Thursdays through Sundays, 10:00am to 3:00pm, through November 24.
