House Hunters International

Going global in Hong Kong (23x3)

:

Rob and Lisa Acker are ready to trade in their suburban Cincinnati life for a foreign adventure - and give their 3 sons a global experience. When Lisa gets a job at an interntaional school in Hong Kong, the family is on their way! But the house hunt leaves them wondering if they can give up the familiar American amenities or dive headfirst into Hong Kong living. The skyscraper city's sky-high prices are the most expensive in the world...so the Ackers decide to rent instead of buy. They are looking for a 3 bedroom home, with a view, close to both the school and work. But even with an ample budget of $6500 dollars a month, finding everything they want in a Hong Kong home is a challenge. Luckily, real estate agent Tania Schnuppe knows the dos, don'ts and dollar signs of Hong Kong's thriving real estate market. But will finding a house in unfamiliar territory give the Ackers a new perspective or have them longing for the comforts of home? Find out when House Hunters International scales the world's most vertical city - Hong Kong.
