Rogue Real Estate Agents

A rather provocative title, but I feel that there are just too many of them in Malaysia. I certainly would love to hear from you whether you have encountered any.

One example that comes to mind:

Agent X responds to advertisements placed by Agent Y. Agent Y shows property to Agent X who, on the day in question, either do not turn up, or turns up and said that his/her client could not make it. All the time, Agent X do not have a client.

Once viewing is done, Agent X then proceeds to search for the Owner/Landlord and works toward securing the unit.

Should the board be tough on these? I think so, but sadly...

The Real Estate Agent's board clearly states that physical office of agencies cannot just be established without their approval, and for one to be approved, the applicant need to be a licenced agent. Megaharta have a presence at a luxurious condo in KLCC. A check with the Board confirmed that they have not received any approval. Well, they are still there.... Malaysia Boleh

Seri Maya Condominium in Kuala Lumpur (to Let)

This condominium is located right next to a Light Rapit Transit Station (Setiawangsa). Train ride to KLCC (Twin Towers) takes only approximately 7 minutes.
If one drives, two hypermarkets are only 3 to 5 minutes away. The 2 minutes is to allow for traffic light at the junction(s).
The condo itself is very well managed. One of the best managed in Kuala Lumpur. Comes with full facilities
As in the rental of any property, it is important to have a good landlord. This landlord comes recommended - easygoing and nice. Rental for this furnished unit is just over USD1,000
Some pictures of the condo and the unit for rental

Leisure Farm Resort - Johor (Gelang Patah)

An exclusive resort living, right at the heart of the next Johor administration. And only approximately 30 minutes to Orchard Road, Singapore. Sentosa island is closer!

Available for rental. Partially furnished. Will let the photographs talk!



Vista Damai @ KL City Centre (KLCC) for rent / sale

A very nicely decorated (yes, the owner used an interior designer to beautify the place) apartment with a magnificent view of the Petronas Twin Towers is now available for either rental or purchase. Some images to whet your apetite. Can always contact me if interested.

Monetary requirements from Tenants

I was asked by a prospective tenant the amount of money she should pay to secure a property (for rental).

The standard practise in Malaysia is:

1 Month advance Rental payable as earnest deposit to book the place
2 Months security deposit upon signing the Tenancy Agreement
0.5 Months utility deposit at the time of signing of Tenancy Agreement.

Upon the termination of the tenancy, these deposits will be returned, less damages or utilities not paid.

Amcorp Mall Apartment to Let

Just showed a unit this afternoon to some prospective tenants. Just for completeness, here are some photographs. Rental very reasonable - at RM1,600 (inclusive of one car park)
