The story

Founded by Shih Wing-ching in 1978.1

Centaline Property Agency Limited was founded in 1978 by Shih Wing-ching. Initially focused on the residential sector, Centaline branched out to various sectors including commercial, industrial, retail, car-parking spaces, bank-owned real estate properties and government quarters. In recent years, the company has added project management, surveying, mortgage brokerage and leasing management services. The business has also expanded to the Taipei and Singapore markets, and is gradually expanding in other Chinese-speaking areas around the world.

In November 2016, Centaline launched a cloud-based video value-added service called CentaVideo to allow the company's approximately 4,500 agents in Hong Kong to shoot video footage, edit and upload it using their mobile devices, providing residential property hunters with a home virtual tour.
