My view on Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam

Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam (BBSA), Seksyen U11 is a development developed (and still developing) by Lebar Daun Bhd. Located in greenery of Bukit Cerakah the place is serene, beautiful and it is a good location to live. It is far enough to be a quiet place to live but not too far to be forgotten. 

I live there for seven years, from 2005 until 2012. I made good business deal from selling and renting BBSA. We sold our house but I am still working for property in BBSA. Now allow me to share with you my view of BBSA and hopefully you can make if you are deciding about buying a property here. 

Love it:

1. The place itself. Green, quiet, birds chirping every morning. Imagine driving in wide road with trees left and right. Then there's lake bordering BBSA and Bukit Cerakah. I absolutely love to drive after rainy day. 

2. Neighbourhood. I would say it is 95% Malays and mostly are working people. Also many are not local Shah Alam. 

3. Design - I like every design of BBSA. From Moroccan style for their 2nd phase (Palladium & Salasia) to modern design of Phase 9 (Collaris and Laurus).

4. Investment return - the developer is yet to complete developing BBSA. There is more work to be done for example, commercial area. That's the beauty of it. The place has lots of prospect to grow and it is totally liveable now so the price that you pay surely will be rewarded in short time (taking consideration of  penalty of early settlement & RPGT). 

5. Good rental income - there's always call asking for rental house in BBSA

6.  The Price - this is a checkmate for any property transaction. You can still find property below RM600,000 in BBSA

Hate it :

1. The developer did not really taking advantages of the big lake. They should also build more playground or maybe some picnic area by the lake.   

2. Finishing quality.  When the design is beautiful there is always some work need to be done such as hairline crack, uneven door and buyers must always make full use of the Warranty Period.  That's why buying sub-sale is always better IMO

3. No commercial area. You have to drive to Seksyen 8 to buy groceries etc. It is about 10km away.

4. Break-in. There are some break-in cases. Not many but there's some. The neighbourhood don't have boom gate yet. 

I say make your decision fast and do let me know if you wish to know more about Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam.

p/s: I sold our house at 35% profit

I am Always Working

I refuse to accept that for Real Estate Negotiator (ren), you are working only when you are showing houses to potential buyer or meeting new owner. No. It is more than that.

There are five cycles as ren:-

1. Prospecting
2. Seller
3. Buyer
4. Viewing
5. Closing


Prospecting

There are so many way to do this. You may see me looking at my phone constantly but do you know I am blasting sms/WhatsApp/e-mail to my potential clients. I send season greetings cards and also Thank you cards. Driving around housing estates and talking to security guards. A day out can be a work day if you know where to do prospecting. Seriously!

Seller

Your seller is the supplier to your stock (listing) to sell. He can be anyone. Your ex-boss, your ex, your sister, brother etc etc. Keeping in touch is also way of maintaining good relationship with your potential seller. 

Or, you can network with your colleagues. Easy peasy

Buyer

Easy to come by. Market your list and subsequently potential will come along and be your buyer. Again, network with your colleagues. They might have a buyer. 

Viewing

This is the fun part. Let the potential buyer see the unit. Let them touch it, feel it, visualising it. 50% chance of closing is in your hands.

Closing

This is hard for me. I do not have mojo to persuade and charm people with words. Always I let the house sell by itself. Off course I will do my best ensuring the property is suitable with potential buyer but I don't believe in forcing people to put down payment like some ren. 

So, when people tell me that I have an easy job I just my eyebrows. I'm always working.  Unlike you, you can clock out and not answer calls from your office.

Hot day but when you have to hand a signboard, you got to go!

Then you go home prepare a good meal!

I Like To Start My Week On Tuesday

Yep, that's me. Monday too early and Wednesday too late. Also the main reason is I always has crazy hectic schedule Sundays.

So I start my week productively.  I went visiting three locations of properties for sale. One location is due for a long time.  So productive so proud with myself.

First location.

Alam Sanjung @ Subang West (Seksyen 22, Shah Alam)

As I blogged earlier, I am now promoting Alam Sanjung and a site visit is due as their construction works is progressing accordingly.  I went with Puan Nora (RPSA Principal), Nana, Enna, Nini & Ikhwan. We were brief about the progress of sale as well as construction. Definitely will be ready by 2016.

 

Next, is Subang Hi-Tech warehouse. I'm not that familiar with commercial properties and this will be my new venture.

Last stop was actually a friend's house in Kg. Tunku @ Petaling Jaya SS1/11A. 

I will write post for the above properties individually later. 

With that, enjoy your week people!

Rumah Untuk Di Jual @ Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam

Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam (BBSA) bukanlah kawasan perumahan baru, sudah bertapak mualai tahun 2003 lagi. Tetapi atas sebab yang tidak diketahui ia tidak tidak sepopular seksyen lain di Shah Alam seperti Seksyen 7 walaupun tahap pembangunan agak seiring.  Mungkin kerana kurangnya iklan dan pendedahan yang hebat daripada pihak pemaju menjadikan nama BBSA ini tidak gah. 

Terletak bersebelahan Taman Pertanian Bukit Cerakah, BBSA menjanjikan tempat tinggal yang penuh kehijauan dan tenang di dalam pembangunan bersaiz lebih kurang 300 ekar yang menumpukan kepada kawan perumahan (residential).  

Buat masa ini BBSA mempunyai rumah teres dua tingkat seperti Paladium, Salasia, Farnesse, dll. Bungalow Nuang Hills, Semi D dan juga Pangsapuri Sri Nuang

Rumah teres dua tingkat fasa 9B

Saya mempunyai beberapa unit untuk di jual di BBSA.  Setiap unit mempunyai keunikan tersendiri dan sebagai pelabur saya menyarankan anda menjadikan BBSA sebagai satu kawasan yang wajar diberi pertimbangan.

Sekiranya anda berminat untuk melawat rumah diatas sila hubungi saya di 013 380 7988. 

Sebelum itu, ingin saya berikan pendapat mengapa BBSA wajar di berikan perhatian kepada pelabur:

1. Kawasan sedang membangun - harga BBSA 'masih' meningkat naik.  Terdapat ruang yang besar untuk melipatkan keuntungan berbanding kawasan lain diShah Alam
2. Harga yang tepat - sukar untuk mendapat harga bawah RM650,000 untuk rumah bersaiz 24 x 70. Lebih-lebih build-up yang luas
3. Rekabentuk & Architectural - pujian kepada arkitek yang terlibat. Rekabentuk rumah di BBSA adalah inovatif  
4. Tiada masalah trafik - BBSA terletak di pertengahan antara Seksyen 7 dan Pusat Bandar.  Walaupun hanya mempunya satu kawasan keluar/masuk tetapi saiz jalan yang luas menjadikan ia bukanlah masalah
5. Kawasan yang hijau - ini adalah faktor utama bagi saya. Kawasan joging dan berbasikal terdapat banyak disini. 

Padang bola selepas hujan

Selepas hujan - feveret saya!

Satu lagi feveret saya!

Atau  mungkin saya bias kerana tinggal disini selama lebih tujuh tahun. Tetapi saya rasa beruntung sebab ini salah satu pelaburan yang mendatangkan hasil bagi saya.
