WHAT WE DO
Hi, I’m Henry Vo. If you are wondering exactly how Henry Vo Selects (HVS) works and what I do behind the scenes, you are in the right place.
Living in or visiting Vietnam as an expat, foreign tourist, or overseas Vietnamese (Viet Kieu) is an amazing experience. But let’s s be honest: buying things, renting properties, or finding reliable local services can be stressful when you face language barriers or confusing marketing ads.
I created HVS to solve this problem. I am not a marketing agency trying to sell you something. I am your local proxy and product matchmaker.
Here is exactly what I do to help you buy safely and quickly in Vietnam.
1. I Inspect and Test Local Products & Services:
Before anything makes it onto the HVS blog, I check it out personally.
- For Lifestyle & Wellness: I visit local spas, restaurants, and service providers to see if they meet international standards.
- For Goods: I check local export items like specialty coffee, artisan furniture, and crafts to ensure the quality is real, not just a nice photo.
2. I Vet Real Estate & Commercial Spaces:
Finding a place to live or run a business here requires careful checking. I look at luxury villas, shophouses, and even ready-built factories for investors. I don't just take pictures; I look into the details that matter to foreigners—like whether the property has clear legal paperwork (the "Pink Book") and fair market pricing.
3. I Write Honest "Pros and Cons" Reviews:
When you read a detailed page on my blog, you will get the whole truth in simple English.
- The Pros: What makes this product or property fantastic.
- The Cons: What you need to watch out for (e.g., "The location is great, but the building needs minor roof repairs"). My Personal Verdict gives you a quick summary so you know exactly what to expect before you spend any money.
4. I Connect You Directly (Matchmaking):
Once you read my review and decide, "Yes, this is exactly what I need," I step in to make the match. I connect you directly with the verified Vietnamese owner, landlord, or vendor so you can complete your purchase smoothly.
How the Process Works (And What It Costs):
I want you to feel completely safe using HVS. Here is my transparent promise:
- Step 1: Read & Learn for Free: You browse the blog, read my verdicts, and check the specs. It costs you $0.
- Step 2: Get Connected: If you want to buy, I introduce you to the local provider. You pay zero agency fees to HVS. (I get a standard commission directly from the vendor when a successful match is made).
- Step 3: Vendor Deposits (Only if needed): Sometimes, if you are a serious buyer who needs me to travel far to inspect a factory, or if you need special quality-control testing, there might be some out-of-pocket costs. If this happens, you pay a deposit directly to the Vietnamese vendors/ providers” and I will always tell you about it in advance. No surprises.
Bottom Line: My job is to do the hard work on the ground in Da Nang and across Vietnam, so you can just enjoy the best products, places, and services without the headache.
