I believe there are many more testimonials not being told. I’m one of the beneficiary.

I’ve just bought an apartment with the daughter, she helped me to bargain the price with the owner to the price that I can afford to pay. I’m not a good negotiator so I believe there are reasons why we need negotiators out there, though they are all making good money.

I even have 100% loan from the bank as that is my first house as a middle income earner. (Fyi, the market price is much higher than the agreed selling price.) The banker did a lousy job instead but I decided not to blame her. I even gave her the commission though I’m a little reluctant. Indeed, it was this agent who helps me throughout the process of getting this property and gave me lots of help and support.

By the way, the after sales service is good, thus far. I’m yet to get my house key but I believe it would be soon :) Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the service.

I do not know about the case above. It could be a truth, but it is already a past. We should look forward and give our dear friend a chance to make a living. Everyone deserves a chance to become a better person in life. At least from my case, I can see that she is a decent someone who takes her professionalism seriously and gave me the supports I need.

Good luck to everyone out there getting a property :)

Hmm..perhaps the government should take necessary measurements to restrict the requirement to become a property agent to reduce stiff competitions. Striving to survive is a human’s instinct, so we couldn’t blame them. Of course you can if you NEVER make any mistakes throughout your entire life. Make all of them a degree holder, isn’t it a good idea? :)

I have had an experience with Judy Chong & family too. Real shifty bunch of ppl. They advertise many properties in iproperty but when you call them to view the house, they will show you some other house which you’re not interested in and will try to push it down your throat. Their prices are also quite high compared to the other houses in the same area.

Me too… I engage an agent, sign the booking copy. The tenant paid the agent in cash, so the agent give me the money minus commission. After he get his commission, he DELAY in the tenancy agreement for more than 2 weeks! till now I still haven’t see my tenancy agreement yet. When I call, he is busy showing another client the house or getting another deal close. He is not interested in closing the deal after getting commission. wat a fucker!

The agent is not entirely to be blamed. First of all, you could have done a bit more homework on your intended property purchase. Like what is the real value or recent market transacted value of the property. Say if the property is RM500k and the owner is asking for RM550k, find out if the extra valuation is justifiable. You cannot buy something without doing any homework especially if it involved a large sum of money.

Normally I would bring a cheque book or if the property is reasonably hot, cash so that I can seal the deal immediately. Always ask the vendor or the agent to bring along a copy of the title just in case you like the property and would allow your lawyer do a proper land search. Remember to stay clear of dodgy deals when the house is way below valuation. I have bought many “cheap” properties as I knew the owners and the reason why they need to sell immediately. Make sure your agent acknowledge receipt of your deposit and that the agent is aware that there is a penalty equivalent to the amount you have given should the vendor pulled out. My standard option letter to the agent/vendor includes specific performance where the owner cannot pull out upon acceptance of my earnest deposit. Ask any good lawyer to prepare one for you.

I have been played out by vendors so many times in the beginning that instead of whinging, I learned the law and change all agreements to favour me. Alternatively, get to know someone who buys a lot of properties to assist you.
