Descriptiontext

Juwai IQI Holdings is a privately held Asian real estate technology group formed from the 2019 combination of Juwai (a property portal serving Chinese-speaking and Asian buyers of overseas property) and IQI (a Malaysia-originated real estate technology and brokerage group founded in 2015). The group is headquartered in Kuala Lumpur with owned offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore, and reports a network of 50,000+ (homepage figure 60,000+) property professionals across 30+ countries marketing USD 4 trillion of property annually across 7 million listings from 111 countries and 1,000+ global property developments.

The core technology asset is the Atlas Super App, an all-in-one agent productivity platform offering project and listing management, marketing tools, analytics, and training, distributed via iOS and Android and underwritten by a Market Intelligence Hub that aggregates consumer demand data. Complementary sub-brands extend the platform vertically and horizontally: Juwai.com, Juwai.asia, and List Juwai for cross-border listing exposure; IQI Realty for sales and advisory; Juwai Center for overseas business expansion; MyKey for short-term rental management; Irhamy Valuers International for valuation and asset advisory; and IQI Concept for interior design and renovation.

The business operates as a sales-led, channel-partner hybrid: 50,000+ agents and 50+ offices drive transactions, while portals and the Atlas app provide self-serve distribution. Revenue is generated through transaction commissions on property sales, advertising fees from developers and realtors using Juwai portals, professional service fees from valuation and interior design, and managed-service fees from short-term rentals. The company is privately held, led by co-founders Kashif Ansari (Group CEO) and Daniel Ho (Group Managing Director), with Nabeel Mungaye as Group COO/CIO, Shahid Saleem as Group CFO, and Georg Chmiel as Non-Executive Chairman; it has not disclosed external funding rounds.

Vietnam+ (VietnamPlus)Vietnam – strategic growth pillar among ASEAN’s ‘Fabulous Five’: expertShan Saeed, chief economist at Juwai IQI, identifies Vietnam as a key growth driver among ASEAN's 'Fabulous Five' economies, citing robust manufacturing expansion and rising consumer incomes. The report highlights that Vietnam's first-half GDP growth reached 8.18%, supported by significant increases in industrial production, goods exports, and foreign direct investment.South China Morning PostChinese immigrants play outsized role in Canada’s housing scene amid foreign banChinese permanent residents, exempted from Canada's 2023 foreign home-buying ban, bought an estimated C$5.7 billion (US$4 billion) worth of homes last year. The ban, extended to 2027, targets most foreigners but excludes permanent residents, students, and foreign workers.TNGlobalMalaysia's AI surge creates demand for land and office spaceMalaysia's AI growth is driving demand for industrial land and office space, with data center developers investing at least MYR 1.4 billion annually in land. AI created 12,600 roles last year, generating about 190,000 square meters of office demand. The impact is expected to grow through 2030.BusinessTodayBank Negara Set To Keep OPR Steady At 2.75% Despite Global Turmoil, Juwai IQI SaysBank Negara Malaysia is expected to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate at 2.75% at its March 5 Monetary Policy Committee meeting, with domestic conditions cited as justification for the hold. Analysts project Malaysia's economy will grow 4.5% in 2026 with headline inflation at 1.6% in January, supporting the case for rate stability. Stable rates are expected to provide certainty for homebuyers and investors, though future adjustments could be triggered by sustained higher oil prices, capital outflows, or Ringgit volatility.EIN PresswireChinese Buyer Data: Malaysia, Dubai Win During Chinese New Year; U.S., Japan, Europe LoseJuwai IQI has forecast that Malaysian and Dubai destinations will be the biggest beneficiaries of Chinese outbound travel during Chinese New Year 2026, with Malaysian travel expected to rise 30-50% year-on-year, driven by visa-free access, short flight times, and the government's Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. Conversely, travel to the United States, Japan, and Europe is projected to decline sharply, attributed to Chinese government travel advisories and seasonal factors. The firm expects the tourism shift to translate into corresponding housing investment patterns, with stronger interest in open short-haul markets.Malay MailHigh-rise or landed? Gen Z is reshaping Malaysia’s housing market; here’s what it means for the futureA study by property group Juwai IQI based on more than 127,000 transactions since 2018 found that 84% of Gen Z Malaysians purchase high-rise units, compared to just 16% who opt for landed homes, in contrast to older generations who continue to favour landed properties. Affordability is a key driver, with high-rise homes costing an estimated RM200 less per month than terrace houses and RM1,200 less than detached homes. The report notes that Gen Z, numbering nearly nine million, will drive housing demand for the next 20 years and shape how Malaysian cities and suburbs develop.
