ALMOST ALL THE signs show that the property market is up again - users and investors are getting into the market while prices are still reasonable. The total number of transactions is up while negative equity is down.
As the leading property agency in town, Midland Realty is very positive about the prosperity of the market and the company after some tough times.
It believes the market will continue to rise in the next three years, and expects to open another 100 branches on top of its current 200.
'These three years are crucial,' said human resources manager Shirley Cheung Ka-wai.
'We need to hire more [staff and] open more branches in good locations. Plus, with the further opening up of the China market, we need as many people as we can [get].'
The firm will need to hire at least 700 agents for the new branches. It is targeting experienced professionals and, at the same time, is providing opportunities for fresh graduates to train as sales executives and sales staff.
