As a leading international property services group, Savills covers markets in Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Australasia and Africa. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has more than 180 offices and associates worldwide.
According to Savills Asia Pacific chief executive officer Robert Mckellar, Savills chose to enter into a partnership with Rahim & Co as the latter has a good working knowledge of the local market and strong contacts at all levels.
“We need a strong local partner as we have clients from the Middle East, South Korea, Japan as well as the US who are interested in the Malaysian property market,” he said.
According to Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin, the strategic alliance was timely as the Government plans to establish Malaysia as a regional centre for professional services as well as a property hub with various ongoing initiatives.By The Star
