Clive Li
Forward Real Estate · AoJuTong
I help Chinese families in Sydney buy homes, invest, and build their lives here.
Unlike most property agents, I come from an IT engineering background — I work with data and logic, not sales scripts or hype.
I'm a practising Buddhist and a vegetarian. Right Speech is both a precept and my professional bottom line: no exaggeration, no withholding, and I will never push a property I wouldn't buy myself.
I'm not chasing quick deals. I want you to still be happy to refer friends to me ten years from now. If this approach feels right to you, let's talk.

More answers on the FAQ page
What does an overseas buyer need to buy property in Australia? What is FIRB?
Overseas buyers need FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) approval to purchase property in Australia. The review typically takes 2–4 weeks. We handle the entire application process — you won't need to navigate complex English forms and regulations alone.
Can I complete everything remotely from overseas?
Absolutely. From property selection, live video inspections, contract review, to loan brokerage and settlement — the entire process supports remote participation. Over 60% of our clients in the past three years never flew to Sydney during their purchase.
Off-the-plan or established — which should I choose?
It depends on your budget, timeline, and investment goals. Off-the-plan requires a lower deposit (typically 10%) and has appreciation potential; established homes are move-in ready. We'll help you decide based on your situation — no hard selling.
How do you make money if buyers don't pay commission?
In new property transactions, our commission is paid by the developer. This means you pay nothing for our service, and we represent your best interests — finding the right property and steering you clear of risky projects. That's the core value of a buyer's agent.
