MIEA organises the 30th Malaysian Annual Real Estate Convention

PETALING JAYA (Feb 5): Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) is organising the 30th  Malaysian Annual Real Estate Convention (Marec) on March 11 and 12 in Nexus Bangsar, KL to discuss Malaysia’s overall property market outlook .

Organising chairwoman Amanda Goh said a diverse range of topics are planned for the convention, from the much sought-after market outlook to even a discussion on the psychology of selling. The event is expected to attract 400 participants.

“Marec attracts between 300 and 400 participants annually. Our programmes are usually power-packed, full of information and relevant to the current market scenario,” she added.

Marec has been held annually for the past 30 years and the event had become a platform for real estate practitioners and property investors to discuss about the profession and identify future trends.

Moreover, the imposition of the Good and Services Tax and the nation’s political environment have caused market uncertainty and this scenario is expected to continue into 2016.

Siva Shanker, MIEA immediate past president and advisor to the organising committee felt that the time is right to organise a convention that would not only cater to real estate practitioners but also to property investors.

“Many people depend on the advice provided by the real estate agents to navigate the maze of property transactions,” he added.

Interested participants are urged to book seats by next week as seats are usually taken up very quickly.

In addition, individual participants who book their seats by March 7 will enjoy discounts -- for members, it is RM999 per person instead of RM1,099, while for non-members, it is RM1,299 instead of RM1,399.

There is an even bigger discount for groups of eight people who make bookings by Feb 15 -- tickets for members and non-members are RM688.

Established in 1974, MIEA is the national body of real estate agents in Malaysia. It aims to empower its members by promoting professionalism and protecting the public interest.
