Business Description

IFM Investments Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The Company is a comprehensive real estate services provider with the largest network of real estate sales offices in China. It is the exclusive franchisor in China for the CENTURY 21(r) brand, one of the world's most recognized brands in the real estate industry. It operates under three different but closely related business lines: company-owned brokerage services, mortgage management services and franchise services. It started its franchise services business in 2000 and has rapidly expanded its franchise network and its brand. The Company's franchise services business grants regional franchise rights for the CENTURY 21(r) brand to regional sub-franchisors in China who, in turn, open their own sales offices or grant third parties the right to open sales offices within their region. The Company's franchise network has provided it with valuable information to gauge market maturity and identify potential opportunities to establish and grow the company-owned brokerage services business. The Company's company-owned brokerage services business owns and operates regional sub-franchisors and sales offices in the CENTURY 21(r) China network. The Company's mortgage management services business provides mortgage advisory services to home buyers and home owners and interim guarantee services to commercial banks. The Company's information systems provide real-time and in-depth management and sales information, support its network of sales offices, and drive its marketing efforts. It mainly competes with Centaline (China) Property Consultants Limited in the Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen markets for secondary real estate brokerage business, and to a lesser extent, with E-house (China) Holdings Limited in these cities for primary real estate brokerage business. The main regulations governing the real estate service industry in China include the Law on the Administration of the Urban Real Estate, as amended in August 2007, and the Provisions on the Administration of Urban Real Estate Services, or the Real Estate Services Provision, issued by the MOHURD in January 1996, as amended in August 2001.
