The aftermath of the 41% increase in petrol costs will be the talk of the town for not merely a day or two.
It will slowly effect every single Malaysian household in many aspects, from higher monthly electricity costs to as far as chopping some of those hard earned little luxuries from your daily budget.
As a property negotiator or real estate agency firm, you will face the same consequences. Your property marketing expenses will change tremendously. With a restricted budget allocated by your agency firm; slowly this could jeopardise your property sales target.
As reported in 2007, the most commonly used practices of driving up and down showing property to a possible new prospect by property negotiators, within Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, will no longer be the cheapest or cost effective method of achieving sales. You will not be able to cater to many areas without incurring substantial costs to your gas tank.
With limitations such as these, a better alternative with a fixed cost to your property marketing budget would make yourself a step ahead from others.
The Kuala Lumpur Retail Property Centre (KLRPC), Malaysia’s first one-stop property shop in Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur provides services to any property negotiator operating within Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley with a fixed cost from as low as RM3 a day.
The KLRPC, situated directly opposite the entrance to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (view the location map), should be your first port of call when you’re planning to launch your client’s property onto the market for sale. Open daily, the KLRPC has the capacity to display in excess of 3,500 residential secondary market properties at any one time.
Each property is individually displayed by both area and by price, supplemented with individual colour property brochures as one of their many sales tools, prior to viewing the respective property. The prospect would able to collect a brochure kept by yourself when you’re meeting them at the coffee shop, mamak stall or from the KLRPC. The unnecessary travelling to a specific area without a genuine interest would enable you to save substantial costs in your petrol expenses.
Building upon consumer driven and professional property marketing services used in Europe, in countries such as the UK, the KLRPC and property centre concept takes away much of the stress, endless searching and sometimes wasted time. It’s proven to be a success for many Real Estate Agency firms who operate with much higher petrol charges in countries such as the UK, where they endure petrol prices in excess of RM7.00 per litre.
Additionally, the KLRPC also provides one of their many FREE services over the cyber-space through Malaysia’s property search portal, propertrack.com, to help a new prospect search for property simpler, informed and without hassle, while they are away from the city and out of the country.
Easy to say you can’t escape yourself from higher fuel costs but you can escape excessive expenses by using property marketing services provided by the KLRPC and propertrack.com.
