How to sell apartment in Beijing?

I don't believe selling an apartment is the hard part. It's the buying portion which is much more difficult.

I'd suggest moving away from HomeLink. In my experience, they are incredibly underhanded when dealing with people (not just foreigners, but locals as well) They'll tell you whatever they feel like to get you to do what's in their best interest. They wanted to charge me extra for brokering a deal when buying a place on top of the standard commission.

As mentioned below (or above) you are free to move away from the company. In most cases, a lot of Beijing sellers tend to farm out their property to many different agents and see which one gets the best price. It's a very messed up real estate system here, but that's the way you have to do it while you're here.

Just FYI, once you sell your property, you won't be eligible to buy another one because of the new rules, since you don't live in Beijing anymore.

Best of luck with the sale!
