District Information
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:
Late September we had the pleasure to meet Juhi, who helped us locate a rental apartment in Hong Kong. Juhi already came highly recommended from several friends, who had used her services in the past. Our Experience was really exceptional. Juhi had prepared several places in the requested neighborhood and price range for us to visit. The visits were all very well prepared, as well as the material provided by Juhi during this visit. We were very fortunate, that already on the first visit we found the apartment we wanted to rent. Juhi was again on Top of her game to ensure we could make sure the apartment would not be rented to someone else before. Even during the inspection and the follow-up calls after our move, Juhi and her team were always professional and courteous. Again, the overall experiences of the Services are truly exemplar to any Realtor and we are very happy to recommend Juhi to any of our friends and Business acquaintances in the future.

Yvonne Lee's client say:
I had such a positive experience with Proway and my real estate agent from Proway. Upon my arrival in Hong Kong, I emailed all four of the agents my school suggested (I'm a teacher), and Yvonne Lee from Proway emailed me back right away. I was so impressed with her professionalism and attentiveness. She sent me her company website, where I was able to browse different apartment options and email her back with my selections. She made a few other apartment recommendations, and then we met the next day. When I met her the next day, she had prepared a spiral notebook with a summary of all the apartments we were going to see that day. She also arranged for the company car to drive me to the different apartments. On another day where the company van wasn't available, when the distance between apartments was further, she sprung for a cab and didn't ask me to pay for it. With Yvonne I felt comfortable, reassured and well taken care of.
