MIEA, Australian Media Firm To Launch Digital Platform

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) and Australian media and online job portal Recon Oz Pty Ltd have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a digital platform to provide up-to-date news on the Malaysian real estate landscape. In a statement Thursday, MIEA said the platform was expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2018, and it would also provide real estate practitioners with agency best practices and employment opportunities. President Eric Lim said the digital platform was part of MIEA’s bold vision to be relevant in the real estate market by enhancing the value proposition to its members. “More importantly, real estate practitioners, especially our members, will now receive timely reports and news on the real estate market, as well as creating employment opportunities for real estate negotiators and agents,” he said. Lim said MIEA was excited to establish an exclusive real estate recruitment platform for the benefit of its members, adding that he believed this was a first for Malaysia. “The real estate job market is big and there is high demand. Our members will now be able to channel their resources through this platform to directly source for real estate talent. We see great potential in this effort,” he said. -- BERNAMA
