After graduating from high school in Malaysia in 2016, I moved to Tokyo to pursue my studies. I then worked for a Japanese company for two years before returning to Malaysia, where I had the opportunity to support Japanese expatriate employees at Panasonic Malaysia. Through this experience, I gained a deep understanding of the challenges and needs of Japanese people living in Malaysia.
I now provide real estate services specifically tailored for Japanese clients, completely free of charge.Leveraging my experience, I offer dedicated support for property sales and rentals for Japanese residents.
Free for all clients:
As service fees are paid by the developer or property owner, there is no cost whatsoever for Japanese clients using our services. I am committed to ensuring a comfortable and worry-free real estate experience in Malaysia.

FAQ
At KARO LIVING, we do not charge any additional fees for Japanese clients and provide the same conditions as we do for local clients. Since we hold a real estate license, we are able to receive commission from landlords. Therefore, we can secure profit without charging service fees to our clients.
Furthermore, our affiliated office, Espirit Estate Agent, does have an office. However, under the common system of Malaysian real estate companies, agents do not receive a basic salary, and they no need go to the office. There are many agents, and each shares the office costs based on their own sales.
A
In some areas surround of Kuala Lumpur, our service is free of charge, while in other areas there may be a small fee. Please feel free to consult with us first.
A
In Malaysia, tenants are required to give a two-month notice before moving out. For this reason, it is recommended to begin your property search within two months before your desired move-in date, as this allows for a smoother viewing process. If you view a property more than three months in advance, even if you like it and wish to proceed, there is a low chance that the landlord will agree. During that period, it is highly likely that another tenant will take the unit earlier. This tendency is especially strong for properties that are clean, popular, and offer good value for money.
A
Generally, once you have decided on a property, you will need to pay the first month’s rent at the time of signing the offer letter in order to secure the unit. After that, when you sign the tenancy agreement, you will be required to pay the remaining costs.
A
The tenancy agreement is available in English only. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask — we will explain in Japanese.
A
For properties with rent around RM2,000, it is common that the landlord’s agent may not be willing to cooperate. In such cases, it may be better for you to handle the arrangements directly.
