I am local guy and have been surfing on this forum before and I have posted my own old lane house in this website housing section; back to 5 years before, I successfully found the one directly here; but nowadays it is almost no one even sending any enquiring message to me... I just wonder for expats how you find the living place? only through agent? or any other channel?

sorry just wonder why this time it seems no response at all... and actually it is more efficient here without paying actual agent fee (normally one month rent), although a bit risk in terms of what kind of landlord, and language etc... but after all, it is more direct way... can anyone be kind enough to suggest how I can identify the needs for expats in Shanghai, any more effective channel to connect with the needs... big appreciation in advance

let me know if against any rule in this forum, I will remove my post immediately... Thank you

Hello Waterandice263,

The Housing section has been newly updated. This has resulted in a few bugs and is probably the reason why you haven't been able to go through with posting your advert.

An Expat.com team member has contacted you through private messaging to resolve your issue.

Thank you for your patience.

Just very curious by continuing my thread, I used to leverage this forum to have my flat rented out without extra agency commission. I am not saying we should be paying agency fee, at least this forum could be another channel for connection between offering and looking; however, it seems this time, this site becomes less visited... when I tried to find replacement for my current tenant; just quick help, do expats prefer the agency rather than direct connection? or there are more ways to have rent info? I thought this forum is quite honest and helpful in terms of helping expats finding the right information before... maybe not any more? It is not only about myself , but also feel a bit sad when you see the traffic declining.. anyway, just posted my flat here again...
