These real estate agent are cheat and liars.

These are what you should do from first to third action.

1. you go to the real estate company and try to talk to their manager, sometimes the manager is more reasonable than the agent.

If doesn't work, then

2. go to Michael chong, MCA, Jln Ampang and threaten to expose the real estate company in newspaper if they don't return the deposit.

Trust me, sometimes will work becos real estate company don't want their name to be blacklist.

If still doesn't work , then

3. Go to small claims tribunal in the Mall near Jln Putra.

Small claims tribunal is where the court will summon them to court and make them pay back the deposit.



Finally, DON'T sign the S&P.

Bukit jalil is freehold with consent, ie. land office will take 2 to 3 months to approve. They won't approve a bumi to non bumi sale unless there is special reason.

How can the real estate agent not know whether he is a bumi because all owners must sign a letter and meet the agent before agree to let them sell their house. I sold my house before and signed the letter before asking the agent to sell my house.

Go back to my previous post and reread bcos i modified the post. There are 3 steps to do.

I suggest you post the real estate agent name here so we can identify him.

His lawyer is NOT honest !

I went to land office before and asked about the consent, the officer told me it is not possible.

I asked my lawyer , he said that after 3 months, the land office will reject, then we can appeal again, it will take another 3 months,

the second time, may or may not reject, so we lost 6 months and another 3 months to process transfer of name, if you are lucky 9 months only can get transfer of name.

It unlucky, then have to wait more than one year.

Better not take the risk ...

once you sign S&P, you'll lose the lawyer fees even if the transfer is not successful bcos lawyer already done the work. Lawyer fees can come up to rm 5K.

Don't SIGN S&P !

Follow the three steps I posted just now.

You tell him that you have friends (ie.me) who have asked the land office and my lawyer, and transfer cannot be done or will take very long time if you are lucky ie. more than one year.

There is NO guarantee of any transfer, so don't take the risk.

By the way, I have several properties in bukit jalil so I know.

Tell the manager you will report to MCA, michael chong and he will publish your story in newspaper , then he will start to urinate inside his pants.

Ask the manager to sue michael chong if he dares. Even 'ah long' (loan sharks) dare not sue michael chong.

Partly true.

The other reason is that the govt don't want the non-bumi to own all the land in the country.

That's why bumi houses cannot be sold to non-bumi except for special cases eg. developer cannot sell the house after xxx years, then only can sell to non-bumi.

why is leasehold a legacy of old british system ? Mind giving details ?

Most bukit jalil properties are 'freehold with consent' which is different from freehold (3 months) and leasehold.

Freehold with consent needs 2 to 3 months letter of consent from land office before anything can be done.(another 3 months for lawyer processing)

Bumi to non-bumi is not transferable bcos bukit jalil is an international zone, I've gone to land office to ask before.

Added on March 7, 2011, 8:52 amMost of these real estate agents are 'high school dropout' or 'uneducated people' whose only capability is their unethical mouth.

As long as they make money for their company and agents, they don't care who they hire.

I have been lied to many times by these agents.

It depends on the character/personality and not the age of the agents.

I've met a lot of rude aunties.

You've not met rude auntie agents before.

Most are very rude, it's like their time is worth 1000 per hour. Ask them things, they don't want to reply.

"Why you want to ask so many questions if you don't wanna buy."

Like I said, it depends on their personality and not their age.

I have met one professional young girl agent , very nice and care to explain the environment etc (unlike those auntie agent who is easily annoyed)

Another agent i met in 20s young guy also very nice. He told me how much he sold the property (unlike other people who couldn't be bothered to tell)

They should have given you your original bank cheque back instead of giving you a new cheque.

Last time, i got my own bank draft back, no need to wait for cheque to clear, just cancel.

please pm me the agent name and company too.

All these salesmen are liars:

Insurance agent
Real estate agent
Credit card agent


Mostly uneducated people do this type of work.

please announce the agent so that we won't be cheated.
