An article describing foreign investment in the Seattle area cites Dean Jones. It reads, "'China is a top focus for us right now,' says Dean Jones, CEO of the Seattle-area offices of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty. Jones has traveled to China several times recently to raise awareness of the value Seattle offers, compared to other West Coast cities. Realogics launched an 'Asia Desk' in its Kirkland office in January, complete with tearoom and staffed with Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean speakers who can help foreign clients with everything from travel arrangements to finding a school for their children. Jones predicts this is just the beginning of an influx of buyers from China. 'What is really surprising is that China hadn't discovered China earlier.'"
