Minna Honkanen, a Finnish national, moved to Hong Kong in early 2019 and unexpectedly became a luxury property agent despite facing social unrest and the pandemic. Now a senior manager at Landscope Realty, she secured an exclusive listing for a US$30.45 million penthouse duplex at The Arch above Kowloon Station. The owners granted Landscope the listing after Honkanen cultivated a four-year relationship with them. Before Hong Kong, Honkanen worked in real estate and sales in Greece, Portugal, and Thailand, and briefly visited Shanghai. Her success in Hong Kong stems from her enjoyment of networking and meeting new people in a dynamic environment.
