Change is the way forward – Polygon Properties

• “Polygon Properties is a company with a high adaptation level and that never stops learning. We believe change is the only way to progress,” said Derek Soh, Polygon Properties managing director and co-founder.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 4): Evolve and adapt, or you will stagnate. That is the mantra of Polygon Properties, which has propelled it from a 10-negotiator agency to more than a thousand members today within a mere seven years.

“Polygon Properties is a company with a high adaptation level and that never stops learning. We believe change is the only way to progress,” said Derek Soh, its managing director and co-founder.

With 400 negotiators under its umbrella now, Polygon Properties is one of the leading real estate agencies in Malaysia. It was established in January 2017 by Soh and CJ Hah. Each of them has more than 14 years of experience in the real estate industry.

The company also weathered the global pandemic of 2020-2022. “Despite going through two years of [the Covid-19) Movement Control Order, the growth of the company has been consistent.

“Polygon Properties is now not only providing real estate services such as buy, sell and rent, but also auction, renovation, property management and loan consultation, in order to provide better value to our clients.

“We also provide development and investment consultation to facilitate our clients such as developers and landowners, for development planning and marketing,” Soh said, adding that it aims to offer “comprehensive real estate solutions to our clients”.

Along with this growth, the company is also looking to expanding its reach. Polygon Properties currently has four branches mainly focused in the Klang Valley and Penang, and two overseas business centres in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China; and it is actively seeking for quality and talented partners and leaders for the expansion of its business in Ipoh, Melaka, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak.

Technologically armed

Polygon Properties has developed various systems, such as Online Sales Submission System, E-Form, and Online Education, among others, to increase “the effectiveness and efficiency of [its] operation, marketing and sales process”.

“Polygon Properties has now fully adopted digital transaction from the generating of booking forms, payment of deposits, receipts, refunds and commission claims for the convenience of our clients and members,” said Soh.

Timely market information, property insight from EdgeProp.my

As part of its value enhancement, Polygon Properties recently signed a memorandum of understanding with EdgeProp.my.

Soh said he has noticed “the passion and determination of EdgeProp.my in bringing up the Malaysia real estate industry by better information sharing and professional insight”.

“We believe with our collaboration, we can together create a better real estate platform for both of our organisations.

“Members of Polygon Properties can access timely market information and property insight [from EdgeProp.my], which not only improves the professionalism of our members but also benefits our clients in making better decisions. Further, with the advertising portal of EdgeProp.my, our members will be able to reach a wider range of buyers and sellers to generate greater returns.”

Meanwhile, EdgeProp.my head of sales Stannly Tan is optimistic about the alliance with an agency driven by performance such as Polygon Properties.

“No doubt, our various tools will be of terrific use for the negotiators of Polygon Properties. Its adaptation goals align with ours and we look forward to playing a role in its expansion,” Tan said.
