Andrea Eng is another real estate front-runner, a former Miss Vancouver and first runner-up in the Miss Canada competition – but her ageless beauty is not what fires her deals.  She is strong-minded (critics prefer the term ‘pushy’), focused, savvy and works long and hard.  She has been instrumental in promoting a healthy Asia Pacific relationship by fostering interests in such cross-cultural events such as Hong Kong Week (including the Dragon Boat Races) and Vancouver Week in Hong Kong.  Andrea is the recently-appointed national vice-president of the Hong Kong-Canada Business Association, a new board member with the Vancouver Board of Trade, and was just made associate vice-president at Colliers Macaulay Nicolls.  Andrea has become such an important link that she has had to prepare a written summary of pointers culled from her frequent lectures on the subject, designed to help westerners avoid embarrassing gaffes whey they first visit Asia. She also helps Oriental newcomers with advice:  “Assimilating and getting involved is important for new immigrants. The first thing they have to do is get comfortable in their new environment.  They have to overcome their shyness and language barriers.  Then it’s important to get involved in community and cultural events, as well as business.”

High profile expatriates include Vancouver real estate agent Andrea Eng, who recently quit as Vice President of colliers Macaulay Nicolls. Inc. to work for a company run by millionaire Li Ka-Shing’s son, Richard Li

- Malcolm Parry

The former Miss Canada set commercial sales records there, one recalls, after breaking away during our 1982-85 recession sales.  

A double coup was selling the Hotel Georgia to the Chan family locally, then to a consortium of the Bentall family here and Galen Weston in Ontario. 

Eng cemented relationships in Hong Kong and Singapore during her earlier break.   This time, after an exploratory trip last summer, she may concentrate on China. 

“Vancouver is really is where East meets West,” Eng said.  “That makes a different business culture for both sides, and that’s where the opportunity is – in the difference the new skills everybody needs.”
