I lived in Kuala Lumpur for nearly eight years and moved home six times, so I know how it feels to choose a home in a city that is not yet yours. Now based in Ho Chi Minh City, I help buyers decide with the full picture: the strengths, and the trade-offs.
Five apartments and one landed house in Kuala Lumpur taught me what keeps a buyer awake at night: contracts, neighbourhoods, hidden costs.
Every project I present comes with a section called "what you should weigh up". Flooding, traffic, legal gaps: you hear it from me first.
IQI was born in Malaysia and has grown into a regional group of more than 40,000 consultants (Juwai IQI, 2024), so I can check facts on the ground, not just on a brochure.
New apartments in Thu Thiem, East and South Saigon: Norton Park near VSIP, and Thu Thiem projects such as Empire City, The Metropole and Lotte Eco Smart City. Foreigners can own apartments in eligible projects, within quotas and usually for up to 50 years with one extension. I check eligibility project by project.
Living abroad and buying in Vietnam? I visit sites, read documents and send you honest updates, video included, so you can decide from a distance.
With IQI's international team I advise on homes in Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, the US, Greece, Cyprus and Dubai, including the rules for foreign buyers in each country.
Ten years across startups, multinational companies and my own restaurant business in Kuala Lumpur prepared me for this chapter. I first saw the IQI name on project hoardings in KL; when I came home, it was the natural place to start again.
I reply within business hours (GMT+7) in English or Vietnamese.
