Abstract

This paper conducted a comparative analysis between Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and Hong Kong. The study contrasted real estate agency practices based on their practices and regulatory bodies. The cross-comparative analyses displayed evidence of commonalities in the ways that regulatory organizations, registration, and codes of ethics are implemented. The paper will be used as a platform for more in-depth studies to ensure that Malaysia's real estate agency practices are sustainable and robust.
