How to unlock the Geek achievement in House Flipper - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you have to sell a house to Chang Choi

For me this proved to be the most difficult "specific buyer" achievement in the game, but doing the following netted me the achievement (on two different accounts to ensure it's repeatable)

First off, buy the home Abandoned House

Take out your hammer and knock through most of the walls to turn the house into one 39m squared space

Add the following items EXACTLY

1 x Bookcase Kall
1 x Single Mantis Bed
1 x Standard Desk (Make sure this is next to the bed as it's one of his criteria)
1 x Swivel Chair
3 x Teddy Bear
4 x Ball
4 x Bunny
4 x Little Bunny

After this, install a Sink, Toilet and Bath / Shower (I personally went with bath)
Fit radiators if you like, just to get a little extra when selling.

Great guide! One additional tip: If you're getting outbid by Dolan, try selling a couple of bookcases or shelves. Dolan wants a LOT of shelving but Chang Choi is happy with just a couple.

If you don't have abandoned House then this also works with Burned House and Camping Bungalow. I tried on the moon but it was just too big.

I had everything in place for him, he had zero negatives and all positive, yet somehow Chang came third and Rafael Erko won it, even though Rafael only had 2 positives.

Do these people have set budgets or something? It just seems ridiculous.

I followed the guide and didn't get it. Did it second time following the guide but I also deleted the kitchen sink and the little cabinet to the right of it. Choi was the top buyer for me.

Hackers Loft (might be added DLC?), go upstairs and clear some junk directly next to the bed, place the cheapest desk right next to that bed... and then sell! Simple as that for me!

I did what Ashdo said above me and it worked perfectly. Though for people who haven't got the million achievement might not want to go that way, because I lost almost 9,000 on the deal.

I did as Ashdo said and bought the hackers loft and placed the desk next to the bed. Worked like a charm. Took less than 2 minutes.

I sold my first office to him.
Just put the desk by the bed and took the sink out because the old couple were liking it better. Tidied up and put the radiators in as well.

+1 for Ashdo's solution, a desk by the bed in Hackers Loft and you're done

Can confirm that he is highest bidder in the original office, if you sell all the old crap, put in a shower, toilet, and sink a Kall Bookcase, a nice single bed, a desk, and a chair. I also painted the walls, and replaced all the floor panels.

I only earned $500 from the sale though, but as it was popping the cheevo, a tip came up that said 'green walls helps Chang focus', so maybe painting stuff green will help?

For whatever reason Ashdo's solution didn't work for me, I tried twice as well. The game definitely seems a little inconsistent to me with how things effect the buyers

Nice work on the guide. I was able to get him to the top of the list after knocking out the walls, selling all the kitchen, and just buying the bed, the desk and bookcase. Easy.

Glad that there's been a resurgence with this game, I assume due to Game Pass, and glad my guide has helped so many of you (though there are of course other ways to get the achievement, this is just how I did it)

Happy gaming

i ended up selling him my first office. i sold all the furniture i bought for myself, removed the shower and sink and left the toilet. i bought:
-Mantis Bed
-Corner Desk
-a desk chair (i can't remember which one)
immediately he shot up to #2 in the buyer list. then i bought a bunny from the kid's decoration section (even though he doesn't like kids toys, the other buyers hate them more). i started painting some walls green (lime green paint- cos he prefers green); i didn't even paint 2 full walls and he shot to the #1 spot. as soon as that happened i put the house up for auction, and he bought it. i lost €2,000 profit but at this point i just wanted the achievement.

I don't know if this has been updated to make it easier but I followed these instructions and by the time I bought the desk he was already top of the list.

(I sold the kitchen items but left everything else in place including the bed which is the bed he likes)

So i unlocked this on the "Boring House" knocked down the mentioned walls (besides bathroom and the one wall in kitchen up against the basement) cleaned everything, fixed a few outlets, put in the towel radiator in bathroom and painted the house "Strong Green".

Put in mantis bed & desk next to it and he jumped right up front (not even a chair for desk or the bookcase mentioned just bed & desk!)

made 18 k profit, did try to negotiate but he refused
So just FYI Incase you already sold house mentioned you can probably do it on any house

Did'nt work on Boring House for me :( Maybe because the right buyer was not first on the list? I did accept his offer though.

(on PC, in the event theres discrepancies) I bought "Abandoned House," sold everything but light fixtures, power points and switches (including outdoor plants,) and knocked down the walls. Bought the Bookcase Kall, Single Mantis Bed and the Standard Desk (placed next to the bed,) at which point he was the top buyer and sold it at that point for the achievement.

I was having so much trouble with this I came back to the house I had set up for him 3 different times and couldn't understand why it wasnt working even tho I followed what you said. He just did not want it. Till I knocked down the bathroom wall and found it it has to be one big room a multifunctional room. There can be no door ways only the one to outside. Just in case anyone else needs help with that part.

This can also be done on Turtle House
Top floor… Sell everything.
Smash out the wall between the bathroom and the storage room. Make this into one large bathroom. I put in a bath tub, sink, toilet and wall radiator. I did also paint the walls white and tiled the floor white as well, not sure if this really makes a difference.
Go downstairs.
Bottom floor… Sell everything.
Smash out any walls so it’s one large room.
Mantis bed, cheapest desk and chair, 2 of the cheapest bookcases. I also painted this room white and carpeted it white as well, again, not sure this actually makes a difference.

I agree with demolishing all the walls, buying all the items in this guide. Also as LaMaXxXFleey said, sell all the kitchen stuff.

I missed the part about fixing the radiators & adding a sink, so I only made €1,000. But I did negotiate & got an extra €3,500.

I also sold him my First Office. What worked for me was the following:
- Remove all items from the bathroom except for the toilet
- Add a mantis bed
- Add a corner desk next to the mantis bed
- Add a desk chair

After the above steps he was on #3 on the list.
- Paint all walls green (as suggested by Onnabugeisha) - can't confirm if that's required or not
- Add a bookcase kall

After these two steps he suddenly shot to #1. I even managed to negotiate some profit.

Sell a house to Chang Choi to unlock this achievement.
To get him as your buyer with minimum effort:

  1. Buy the hacker loft.
  2. Do not clean or tidy anything, go straight upstairs.
  3. Sell the bedside table on the left of the bed.
  4. Tidy just enough of the mess left of the bed in order to fit in a desk.
  5. Buy and place a 'standard desk' as close as you can next to the bed.
Chang should now be your buyer. At a loss (around - €7500), but achievement unlocked.
If desired, you can negotiate in order to sell the house with a profit instead.
I tested this solution 6 times and each time I sold to Chang Choi with €0-€100 total profit (ie, negligible but not a loss).
Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed

I did this, but didn't have him near the top.

I cleaned the whole place, sold the main couch, sold the two futuristic desks, chairs and monitors and Chang was at the top.

So it seems, you do the above (put desk right next to the bed), clean up, sell the futuristic desks and all the monitors (I also sold the stuff on the desks, PC, futuristic laptop on the coffee table, futuristic newspapers).

Doing this Chang's offer was in the positive plus the money you get from just selling a bunch of stuff.

This 100 GS was EZPZ for me.

If you want to do what I did, choose the Hacker Loft. After cleaning the place up, I made no changes to existing walls.

I used the same furniture as Saikred in their guide: the Mantis Bed, Bookcase Kall, Standard Desk, and Swivel Chair. I put them upstairs where the old bedroom previously was.

I redid all the walls green. I used a mixture of paint and tile. Paint for the living area and tile for the bathroom and laundry area. I went with beige carpet for the living area and light yellow tile for bathroom and laundry, because my eyes like green and beige and the light yellow goes with beige well. Paint was Pistachio Green. Tiles were dark green tile for the bathroom, and 2 Shades of Green for the laundry room/hall.

You don't have to use the exact paint/tile I did. This buyer just wants green walls.

Sink, shower, and toilet in the bathroom. I like the standard Mountable Shower, Toilet Flatty, and I think I used one a mountable sinks with stylish cabinet. I forgot which one though.

The biggest challenge with the main living space is the lighting. I wound up using all types of lights: ceiling lights, standing lights, and wall lights.

The front area I flipped into a laundry room/entry hall. I put a washer/dryer and garage shelf on one side and a bunch of corridor furniture to store shoes and coats on the other side.

I flipped the living area into a dining area for more lighting and I spruced up the kitchen area. Not sure he cares about the kitchen, but I like building kitchens for some reason.

I replaced all the doors with glass doors because I am apparently on a glass door kick right now. Sold for 9,000 euro profit.

After cleaning the place and placing the furniture, Chang was 2nd place with Jantart Family in 1st. Removing the sofa in the living room made the Jantarts unhappy, then I sold to Chang for a 7,000 euro profit. No bathroom or wall painting required

Sell a house to Chang Choi.
"20 years old, student. Thinks only about his studies."

Tips:

Rooms:
- only one bedroom with a study desk

Other:
- bookshelves for his books

Easy way to get the Achievement:

House: "Abandoned house"
Remove the garbage and clean the house. Remove the walls to create a big room (except the walls of the bathroom). Remove the sink. Create a children's room (with the help of toys).

In case you still have problems getting the achievement - Tip from <> Magic Mann <>:
"It helps to remove the bathroom! He does not care about a bathroom in the house and it detours the other buyers you'retrying to avoid.".

Buy the following furniture/items:
- Bed Peony
- Desk Anna
- B-shape chair
- 2x Cabinet with hanging shelves
- 3x bunnies
- Mountable Toilet Flatty (not necessary)

I used the abandoned house for this one although you can probably use any of the small houses for this. Take out all walls and items so there is only a bathroom and one big room. Cleanup and paint so it's decent but not necessarily fancy. Buy and place these items:
Mantis bed
bookcase Kall
Venne Horizontal Bookcase
Standard Desk
Swivel Chair
Tub, Toilet, and Sink in bathroom
2-3 Bears, 4 Balls, 4 Bunny Rabbits (big and small)
The toys are to get rid of the other buyers who would outbid him but don't like kid stuff

Chang Choi
We will sell our First office. Knock down the bathroom walls and sell everything in the room (even the plumbing fixtures). Then we buy the following cheapest things (filter to help): Mantis bed, ELICI desk, B-Shape chair. The work place should be next to the bed. We buy a Venne rack (I bought a vertical one for 7k), a children's changing table and children's toys (section "Other"): 2 rabbits and 2 balls. It seems like Chang still likes the green color, but it didn’t react to my wall painting, so I don’t know.
