Why it takes so long
Searching on your own is a second job.
Here's what people describe to me by the time they finally send a message.
Taken three weeks ago
You call about a listing, it was rented in August, and you're offered something else entirely instead. Portals are rarely cleaned up, so you spend your evenings chasing units that no longer exist.
Wide lens, no mention of the highway
Every photo is shot at the one angle that works. Nobody mentions the view that's about to be built over, or the construction noise or whether it is common to have leaking issues.
An agent covering everywhere knows nowhere
Which block is quieter, which floors actually keep the view, the type of unit you can get within your budget. That only comes from walking the buildings, repeatedly, which is most of what I do.
What you get
Three to five units, not forty links.
Only what actually fits
Matched to your budget, your bedrooms and the areas you named. If nothing genuinely fits this week, I'll tell you that rather than padding the list to look busy.
What the listing leaves out
Which facing takes the afternoon heat, which blocks are quieter, pros and cons of the building. The things you'd only find out after moving in.
What it's asking, and what it takes
An honest read on where the asking price sits and what comparable units have recently signed at, so you're not negotiating blind against someone who does this every day.
Arranged around you, or filmed for you
I'll set up viewings when you're actually free. And if you're overseas or simply can't get there, I'll walk the unit on video and send it to you, the same way I film the walkthroughs on my youtube channel.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute of your time.
Tell me what you need
Eight short questions below: whether you're renting or buying, your budget, how many bedrooms, and the areas you have in mind.
I check what's really available
Not just the portals. I check with owners I already work with, then rule out anything that's gone, misrepresented, or priced absurdly.
Your shortlist arrives
Usually within 48 hours, on WhatsApp. A handful of units, what's good and what isn't about each one, and which I'd go and see first if it were me.
Who you're talking to
Linus Chan
I work on my own, which means the person putting your shortlist together is the person who answers your WhatsApp. No junior, no call centre.
Two years in, my track record: around 100 units transacted. I've been inside the majority of the buildings I'd be sending you to, which is the only reason I can tell you which building would be best for you.
The walkthroughs on my YouTube channel are me showing units the way I'd show them to you. If you want to see how I work before handing over your details, start there.
Where I work
Deep in one place, useful across the rest.
Mont Kiara
Where I spend most of my week. I know the blocks, the facings and what units are really signing at, rental and sale.
Desa ParkCity
Slowly becoming my second home. I'm there more and more, and I know the township well enough to be useful on it.
Klang Valley
Sri Hartamas, Bangsar South, Petaling Jaya. I'll look anywhere in Klang Valley when the unit is genuinely worth seeing. Ask, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for that area.
Arcoris Residences, Mont Kiara
RM5,300 / month
- Quietest block, faces away from the main road
- Comparable units signed at RM4,800–RM5,000 recently, so there's room to talk
- Traffic jam at peak hour can be crazy
One entry from a typical shortlist of three to five. An illustration of the format only. Not a real listing, and not a guaranteed price.
