Estate agents could be given bigger penalties in future if they get into violent brawls with each other in the street.
It's happened at least three times already so far this year as agents compete for customers.
The Estate Agents Authority said on Thursday it is now considering whether to ban agents who get into punch-ups for five years or more, up from the current three-year ban.
The authority's CEO, Ruby Hon, said they are also going to look at what can be done to punish the agencies involved as well, to discourage such behaviour among their staff.
A video shared on social media showed a brawl involving several estate agents at the IFC building in Central last weekend, the second such fight in three days.
