Office & Industrial Renting
A company cannot force employees to be passionate about their jobs, but it can provide the kind of environment that allows such passion to grow. At NAI Sofia Group Shanghai, the caring and respect that members of our team have for one another is one thing that makes me love my job. In addition, our company’s mission to protect and advance our clients’ interests in the real estate market and improve quality of life of their staffs is something I am proud to contribute towards.

Mary Hoo - Senior Key Account Manager
As passionate about her work now as she was before taking an extended maternity leave to raise two boys, Mary, one of the earliest employees of NAI Sofia Group, worked as an employer assistant program specialist before joining us. She brings balance to our mostly young group with her maturity and holistic perspective on work and life.
When it comes to securing spaces in crowded buildings and negotiating leases on behalf of clients, Mary is the ultimate fighter. To anyone who is not a landlord, she is the sweetest person you ever met. As our client, you will of course meet the latter.
