About Sai Ying Pun
After British army arrival at Possession Point (now Hollywood Park next to Possession Street) in 1841, the 800 or so volunteer soldiers from India and Bangladesh stationed in West Point (hillside of Water Street). Thereafter, the area west of Hollywood Park was called Sai Ying Pun 西營盤, meaning 'Western Garrison'. Flourishing trades required construction of piers, docks, warehouses, and properties to accommodate merchants for rice, dry seafoods, and herbal medicines, and the workers who supported these activities. Even today, one can still find remnants of the early colonial past in the district. World War II brought mass destruction, giving rise to reconstruction of many buildings to four to six storey tenement buildings with shops on ground floor. Rapid population growth and technological advancement necessitate these post war buildings to be redeveloped into highrises.

Testimonials
Juhi Schmidl's client say:
I recently moved back to Hong Kong and started the search for an apartment 2 month ahead of my arrival. Juhi has been extremely helpful before my actual arrival in HK and forwarded information for available apartments on HK Island that were within my budget. I did a pre-selection and upon arriving in HK, we started to visit all those properties as well as others selected by Juhi. Finally we closed a property and Juhi handled all necessary documentation in and efficient and timely manner. She has been of great help and I would recommend her services without hesitation.

Juhi Schmidl's client say:
Juhi understood quickly what we were looking for. This led to us see few but targeted flats. Of the 6 she showed us we put in bids for 3. Its not common in HK to feel like an agent is working on your behalf. Juhi was more conservative than me in putting in bids, which says it all.
