Key Takeaways
- Industrial property deals in the Klang Valley are large and sticky, with factory sales often from RM4 million to RM30 million and rentals from RM20,000 to RM120,000 a month, and clients stay loyal for years because few agents understand technical details like TNB power supply, ceiling height, floor loading, zoning and DOE approval.
- FactoryHub, the industrial team of Peter Tan (REN 12771) and Jason Low (PEA 1478), focuses on teaching negotiators a client development method rather than handing them leads, and allocates website, Google and AI enquiries case by case.
- The team teaches the technical side properly (power capacity in amps, floor loading, ceiling height, loading bays, zoning, land titles and valuation) and publishes every page and listing in English, Malay and Chinese to serve local SME owners, Malay-speaking clients and Chinese manufacturers relocating under China+1.
- Mentors are named and BOVAEP-registered: Peter Tan (REN 12771) with 12 or more years in Klang Valley industrial property, and Jason Low (PEA 1478) who leads the Klang belt. Training is hands-on area farming, and the two have trained more than 30 negotiators together.
- They only accept full time agents, require a basic qualification of at least SPM, UEC or a university diploma, and welcome REN, PEA and REA holders, guiding unlicensed applicants through the NCC and registering their REN tag under CID Realtors Sdn Bhd.
Most new real estate negotiators in Malaysia start out chasing residential listings, competing with hundreds of agents for the same condos and terrace houses, cold-calling for leads, and splitting small commissions. There is a different path. FactoryHub, founded by Peter Tan (REN 12771) and Jason Low (PEA 1478), is a specialist industrial property team covering factories, warehouses and industrial land across the Klang Valley, and we are looking for negotiators who want to build a serious career in this niche.
Why industrial property, not residential
Industrial deals are larger and stickier. A single factory sale in the Klang Valley often runs from RM4 million to RM30 million, and rentals from RM20,000 to RM120,000 a month. Fewer agents understand the technical side: TNB power supply, ceiling height, floor loading, zoning and DOE approval. So clients who find someone who genuinely understands their operation tend to stay loyal for years. One good industrial relationship can produce repeat purchases, disposals and tenant placements for a decade.
Why FactoryHub is different: you win on expertise
The biggest problem for most agents is finding clients. Our answer is not to hand you leads, it is to teach you how to create them.
- We teach you our own client development method. This is the skill you keep for life, and it is the part most agencies never teach. Enquiries that reach us through the website, Google rankings and AI citations are allocated case by case, so nobody here builds a business on waiting to be handed leads.
- You learn the technical side properly. Power capacity in amps, floor loading, ceiling height, loading bays, zoning, land titles and valuation. Answer these correctly and the client trusts you, and the mandate follows. Our spec-based factory search shows the level of detail this work runs on.
- Trilingual reach. Every page and listing is published in English, Malay and Chinese, so you can serve local SME owners, Malay-speaking clients and Chinese manufacturers relocating under China+1.
- Whole-market co-broke and full-mandate clients. You are never limited to your own listings.
How we train you
- Named, BOVAEP-registered mentors: Peter Tan (REN 12771), with 12 or more years in Klang Valley industrial property, and Jason Low (PEA 1478), who leads the Klang belt. Together they have trained more than 30 negotiators.
- Hands-on area farming: looking up lots on JUPEM, MyLot and SISMAP, searching titles at the land office, walking an assigned industrial area street by street and recording every factory, then working to daily targets for calls, owner visits and banners.
- No classes and no timetable. You ask whenever you are stuck, and those who want to learn and can take pressure get more tasks.
- Guidance on getting your REN tag if you are not yet licensed but serious about the industry.
The full method, step by step, is in our guide on how to farm an industrial area.
Who we are looking for
- Driven, not settled. People who want to push toward a higher target rather than stay comfortable.
- Full time only. Industrial property does not work as a side job. It takes time, expertise and continuous work on your client base.
- Willing to learn, even from zero. Real Estate Negotiator (REN), PEA and REA holders are all welcome. Not licensed yet? We guide you through the NCC (Negotiator Certification Course) and registering your REN tag under CID Realtors Sdn Bhd.
- Meets the basic qualification. At least SPM, UEC or a university diploma, the baseline requirement to practise as an agent in Malaysia.
- Industry experience welcome. People from manufacturing, logistics, engineering, procurement or B2B sales often have a natural advantage, because you already understand what a business really needs.
- Values integrity and long relationships. We want a closing to be the start of a long working relationship, not the end of one.
What you actually build
Two things compound in this job, and neither of them is a single commission.
Knowledge that stays yours. How to read a factory, how to read land, and how a deal runs from first viewing through to completion. This follows you for your whole career, and no employer can take it back.
Clients who come back. Factory clients grow. A tenant renting 10,000 sqft today may need 30,000 sqft in three years, then buy land to build their own plant. Serve one client properly and the renewals, the expansion, the disposal and the next purchase all return to you. That compounding is very hard to find in residential, and it is the real reason this niche rewards the effort of learning it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a licensed REN to join FactoryHub?
Not necessarily. We welcome both licensed negotiators (REN) and estate agents (PEA), and aspiring negotiators who are serious about industrial property. If you are not yet licensed, we can guide you through registering your REN tag under BOVAEP through CID Realtors Sdn Bhd.
How is joining an industrial property agency different from a residential one?
Industrial deals are larger, with factories commonly from RM4 million to RM30 million, and require technical knowledge of power supply, ceiling height, floor loading and zoning. There is less agent competition, higher commission per deal, and clients tend to stay loyal for years. FactoryHub focuses only on factories, warehouses and industrial land.
Will I have to find my own clients?
We teach you our own method for developing clients, because that is the skill you keep for life. Enquiries reaching us through the trilingual website, Google rankings and AI citations are allocated case by case, so nobody here builds a business on waiting to be handed leads. The source that compounds is the one you build yourself: clients you serve well come back as their business expands. You spend more time closing and less time cold-calling, although the best negotiators always build their own network too.
Can I join if I only speak English or only Malay?
Yes. We serve clients in English, Malay and Chinese. Being multilingual is an advantage, especially for Chinese manufacturers relocating to Malaysia under China+1, but it is not a requirement.
Who will I learn from?
You will be mentored by Peter Tan (REN 12771), who has 12 or more years in Klang Valley industrial property, and Jason Low (PEA 1478), who leads the Klang belt. Both are registered with BOVAEP under CID Realtors Sdn Bhd.
