Malaysia will tighten COVID-19 restrictions effective this Wednesday in a renewed effort to combat the country’s rising cases.
Juwai IQI Group co-founder and chief executive officer Kashif Ansari said, however, that property deals or rental of properties can still be made during the MCO and (post-MCO).
For property purchase, buyers can handle contracts, request a loan, view a property, and check the status of their transaction without having to meet anyone in person, he said.
Kashif said due to the pandemic, people want the real estate industry to use technology to replace old-fashioned ways of doing things.
“Why go to an appointment somewhere for something they can easily do from home using technology? Buyers can do it all online. You can find, view, and negotiate a property. You can track your down payment or rental deposit. And you can handle your contracts and pay your stamp duty…all online, without the need for face-to-face contact,” he said.
