About
Hi, I'm Seann Siow
Registered estate negotiator in Kuala Lumpur
I help foreign buyers and relocating families find a home or an investment property in Kuala Lumpur, and I explain the rules that apply to you before you commit: what you're allowed to buy, what it really costs, and how to buy safely from overseas.
- REN 34312
- 10+ years in property
- Kuala Lumpur
What I help with
Buying in KL as a foreigner, without the guesswork
Units you can actually buy
Malaysia's federal guideline bars foreign buyers from property under RM1 million per unit and from units allocated to Bumiputera buyers, and each state sets its own minimum price. I only shortlist units that pass.
The full cost, before you commit
The 8% stamp duty, legal fees, consent fee and monthly holding costs, worked out for the unit you're looking at.
A home that fits your MM2H plan
The unit has to meet your MM2H category's minimum and the foreign-buyer rules. I check both.
Buying from overseas, safely
Checking the developer on TEDUH, paying only into the project's HDA account, and signing the e-SPA from home with your lawyer.
How I work
From first call to your keys
- Free consultationOn Zoom or in person in Kuala Lumpur. We talk through your budget, timeline and whether it's to live in or invest.
- Your shortlistUnits that fit your budget and the rules for foreign buyers, with floor plans, payment plans and the full cost.
- Viewing and checksShow units and sales galleries in person or on video, and check the developer's licence and HDA account.
- Booking and signingBook the unit and sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement with your lawyer, from Malaysia or from home.
- Through to your keysI stay in touch through the construction payments, handover and the defects period.
What I do, and what I don't
I'm a registered estate negotiator (REN 34312). I find and check the property, and I coordinate with the people who handle the rest: your lawyer for the agreement and state consent, your bank for the loan, and a licensed MM2H operator if you're applying for MM2H.
I'm not a lawyer, tax adviser, financial adviser or MM2H operator, and I'll tell you when a question is for one of them. My guides list the official sources, so you can check the rules yourself.
