Beike (贝壳找房) : China's largest housing transactions platform for home sales, rentals and renovation.

Launched in 2018, Beike is the housing platform built by brokerage Lianjia and owned by NYSE-listed KE Holdings.

Users browse verified resale and new-home listings, tour homes in VR, and match with agents handling rentals and renovation.

Open to the whole industry, the network lets independent brokerages across China list and sell homes.

Listings, content and transaction rules target mainland China, so overseas visitors can browse but would close a deal through a local agent.

How does Beike verify property listings?

Beike uses a proprietary system called ACN (Agent Cooperation Network) to verify listings. Properties are inspected by agents before listing, and transaction history is tracked on blockchain to reduce fraud.

Does Beike have an English interface option?

Beike does not offer a full English interface. Some pages may auto-translate in browsers, but the mobile app is Chinese-only. Foreign users may need assistance from Chinese-speaking friends or agents.

Can I use Beike to rent an apartment in China?

Sure does. Beike lists both rental and for-sale properties across Chinese cities. You can filter by price, location, size, and amenities. The platform provides verified listings with photos, virtual tours, and agent contact info.
