Client Reviews

Shared by people we have worked with.

SL

Soo Ling Tan

Kuala Lumpur → Section 16, PJ

"I had been searching on my own for about six weeks before reaching Selasih. The difference was immediate — I received notes from someone who had actually been to the property. The place they recommended in Section 16 was nothing like the photos suggested; they described it accurately, including the traffic noise on weekday mornings, and we decided to see it anyway. We have been here seven months and it suits us very well."

Arif Mohd Zain

Singapore → Damansara area, PJ

"We moved from Singapore with two children and had specific school requirements. Nadia mapped four schools, cross-referenced them with the areas where she knew the better garden properties were, and the shortlist came back genuinely useful rather than just long. The lease review caught two clauses we would have overlooked. Good work overall, though it took a little longer than expected to finalise the last details at handover."

Laura Kessler

Germany → Jalan Damansara, PJ

"I was arriving from Frankfurt without having visited Malaysia before. The Signature Programme meant I was met at the airport, taken to a serviced apartment for the first two nights, and then had a full day of private viewings arranged. The building dossier for the property I eventually chose was detailed and fair — it mentioned things I would never have known to ask about. I have been settled in Jalan Damansara for four months now."

Priya Venkataraman

Chennai → SS2, Petaling Jaya

"What I valued most was that Siew Wei never rushed us. When the first shortlist didn't feel right, she said so herself and suggested we look at SS2 rather than the areas she had originally proposed. That kind of honesty is rare. We signed a lease in the fourth week and have referred two colleagues to Selasih since."

Daniel Woo

Penang → Taman Jaya, PJ

"I used the Residence Search service, mostly because I wanted someone to check a few specific streets I had read about in Taman Jaya. The pre-visit notes were specific — which units had been recently repainted, which had older plumbing, which landlord was responsive. Rajan reviewed the lease and caught a missing clause on early termination. The process was calm and well-organised."

Mei Huey Chong

Johor Bahru → Damansara Heights adj., PJ

"I had heard about Selasih through a colleague who relocated from Hong Kong. I was sceptical about paying for an advisory service I could not clearly imagine, but the first call with Nadia changed that. She knew the Damansara-adjacent streets better than anyone I had spoken to. We found a townhouse through their shortlist and the entire process — from that first call to moving in — took about five weeks."

In More Detail

Three situations, worked through.

Case Study — Family Relocation

Situation

A family of four relocating from Kuala Lumpur's city centre. Two school-age children, one entering IGCSE. Required access to two international schools within a 15-minute drive, and preferred a garden-facing residence.

What We Did

Mapped school catchments against green residential pockets in SS2 and the Damansara-adjacent areas. Pre-visited six properties over two weeks; presented a shortlist of three. Reviewed the tenancy agreement and negotiated a maintenance clause.

Outcome

Family settled in a two-storey link house in the SS2 area within four weeks of the initial call. Both schools accessible within 12 minutes. They extended the tenancy at the end of year one. — Service: Family Relocation, RM 6,500

Case Study — Signature Programme

Situation

A senior executive arriving from Tokyo for a two-year posting. Required a high-quality, architecturally distinguished residence in a quiet street with private outdoor space. First visit to Malaysia.

What We Did

Identified four properties along Jalan Damansara and adjacent streets. Prepared building dossiers covering management history and structural notes. Arranged airport reception, temporary accommodation, and a full day of private viewings on day two of arrival.

Outcome

Selected a garden bungalow within the first viewing day. Lease negotiated to include a dedicated maintenance contact and landscaping terms. Household staff introduced within the first week. — Service: Signature Programme, RM 10,150

Case Study — Residence Search

Situation

A researcher at a Petaling Jaya institution, working within a careful budget. Needed a well-maintained apartment within walking distance of Taman Jaya LRT station, with reliable water pressure and natural light.

What We Did

Focused the search on older apartment blocks within 600 metres of the station. Pre-visited four units and eliminated two on inspection; shared notes on the remaining two. Reviewed the tenancy agreement and flagged a missing deposit return clause.

Outcome

Settled in a fourth-floor unit with good morning light, 8-minute walk to the station. Budget held. Deposit clause added before signing. Client referred a colleague six months later. — Service: Residence Search, RM 2,430
