Our Story — Turning Property Know‑How into Furniture Savings
We’re Kristina (Ching Yan Ip) and Tim Hero (Temirlan Zholtayev)—a Hong Kong‑and‑Kazakhstan duo who met on the Australian property circuit and bonded over one frustration our clients kept voicing:
“Why does high‑quality furniture cost a fortune back home when it’s made in China?”
After a decade of managing more than 600 long‑term rentals, holiday lets and development projects across Australia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and Japan, we knew two things inside‑out:
-
What furnishings last in real‑world homes, hotels and Airbnbs.
-
How to negotiate and deliver property projects on time and on budget.
