Q. What type of properties do you specialise in finding, negotiating and acquiring for clients?
A. Typically, town, country, beach-front, recreational and investment properties ranging in value from $150,000 to $5million, located in Malaysia and Thailand. We also accept client briefs for specific assignments negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Q. Are you estate agents?
A. No. Estate Agents act for the seller which is why the unrepresented buyer is very exposed in the market. We act exclusively for the buyer to find and secure the best properties at the lowest possible price ahead of the competition.
Q. Don't estate agents also do this?
A. No. Estate agents' fees are paid by the seller and they therefore act in the interests of the seller in order to gain the highest price for the properties they sell.
Our services are paid for by the buyer and we negotiate to gain the best possible price for our clients. Interestingly, estate agents see us as a source of quality buyers and renters.
Q. Do you search for rental properties?
A. Yes, for both individual and corporate clients.
Q. Do you have access to properties that we cannot find on our own?
A. Yes. Many of the transactions that we are involved with take place in the private market, where a large proportion of the most sought after properties change hands - without ever reaching the open market.
In addition we will also directly canvass and contact owners of potential properties which are not on the open market on behalf of our clients.
Q. How then do you get access to the best properties from this private market?
A. As the leading buyers' agents specialised in Malaysian property most of the developers and agents know us and the expertise we bring to bear on behalf of our clients. This means that our clients are treated as serious purchasers and are therefore able to receive details of - and to view - highly sought after and confidentially marketed properties, which are often not made available to the unrepresented buyer.
Q. How do you handle client confidentiality? A. It is often a prerequisite that client confidentiality is maintained at all times. A large proportion of our clients and the sellers that we deal with are very high profile and simply will not tolerate any risk that their affairs become public knowledge.
We have existing confidentiality agreements in place with a number of private sellers and selling agents and this is often a key reason why the unrepresented buyer rarely gets to hear of the best properties.
Q. How much does the Search Service cost? A. Our fees comprise a four month retainer fee plus a success fee ranging from 1% to 1.5% of the purchase price payable on exchange (depending on your brief) Alternatively, we would be happy to offer you a flat fee in line with your brief.
