KUALA LUMPUR, 28 February 2020 – The Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) launched its first ever public awareness campaign called #MYREALAGENTS in conjunction with the opening of the two-day Malaysian Annual Real Estate Convention (MAREC) Summit 2020 at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
#MYREALAGENTS was developed to raise public awareness especially amongst first-time buyers and renters on the need to choose Registered Estate Agents or Negotiators for their property needs due to the continuous number of cases of Malaysians being cheated out of their hard-earned savings or their interest being compromised by unscrupulous illegal brokers.
“This is the first time in MIEA’s 46 plus year history where we proactively developed a public-facing campaign towards improving the public’s awareness and understanding on the importance of choosing Registered Estate Agents or Negotiators, and how the public protect themselves. Buying, selling or renting property is a complex process so Malaysians should let the professionals help guide them.”
Lim Boon Ping, President of MIEA
A website and social media channels were set up to explain and emphasise the importance of why one should engage with registered agents or negotiators and how one can protect oneself from illegal brokers. The website will also include content on the legal aspects of buying, selling or renting property and also tips, checklists and what to look for when engaging a registered estate agent or negotiator.
The 34th edition of MAREC Summit 2020 hosted 400 Estate Agents and Negotiators who will learn from 32 speakers on market trends, improving their soft skills and enhance professionalism as well as leveraging technology to better serve the public at large.
The main theme for MAREC SUMMIT 2020 is Real Estate Practice Vision 2025: ‘Change or Die’ which is reflective of the real estate profession, adapting and leveraging on the changes brought about by technology.
He added that MIEA as a relevant and progressive real estate association that has evolved to play a more important role in providing opportunities for learning and growth of all real estate practitioners in the country.
MAREC Summit 2020 serves as a platform where real estate practitioners are able to adopt new ideas and gain new insights on how to achieve peak performance in their careers.
Held annually, MAREC Summit is an established national convention that has become a leading platform for real estate practitioners to come together to exchange ideas & to network.
