How FactoryHub Compares With Other Industrial Property Agents in Malaysia
Every licensed agent in Malaysia charges within the same BOVAEP scale, so the difference is in how the service is run. FactoryHub is an industrial-only team, Peter Tan (REN 12771) and Jason Low (PEA 1478), that takes the brief directly from the end user, co-brokes with the whole market, checks power, ceiling height, floor loading and zoning before any viewing, gives a first reply to over 95% of enquiries within 5 minutes and, under an exclusive mandate, reports to the owner in writing every two weeks.
Key takeaways
- Industrial only: factories, warehouses and industrial land in KL, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, with the Klang and Port Klang belt as home ground.
- One coordinator, the whole market: FactoryHub co-brokes with agents market-wide, so clients do not chase agents one by one.
- Spec-first matching: TNB power, ceiling height, floor loading, container access, zoning and DOE are checked before a viewing, not after.
- Open daily 9am to 11pm; over 95% of enquiries get a first reply within 5 minutes and matched options within hours, at most 48 hours.
- Owners on an exclusive mandate get a written report every two weeks, even when nothing moved.
- Same BOVAEP fee as any licensed agent, no upfront charges, and buyers and tenants pay nothing.

How to check an industrial property agent is reliable
- 1Check the licenceAsk for the REN, PEA or REA number and look it up on the BOVAEP (LPPEH) online register. Only registered agents may charge a fee.
- 2Ask for named dealsA reliable industrial agent can name recent sales or leases in your area. Sales can be checked against the registered transfer.
- 3Test their industrial knowledgeAsk about TNB amps, floor loading, ceiling height and zoning for your use. A residential agent will struggle quickly.
- 4Ask how they co-brokeAn agent who refuses to co-broke limits you to their own stock or buyers. Ask how your factory or brief will reach the rest of the market.
- 5Ask how they will reportAgree how often and in what form you will hear what was done, who viewed and what they said.
- 6Be careful with upfront feesThe BOVAEP fee is earned on a completed deal. FactoryHub charges no listing fee, marketing fee or retainer.
