Rahim & Co International Property Consultants

What Rahim & Co International Property Consultants does

Rahim & Co International Property Consultants is a Malaysian real estate consultancy firm headquartered at Level 10, Menara Perak, Kuala Lumpur, founded in December 1976 by Tan Sri Dato' (Dr) Abdul Rahim Abdul Rahman. The firm operates across all 14 Malaysian states through a network of 23 offices — covering Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, Johor, Perak, Sabah, Sarawak, and other regional centers — and employs close to 600 professionals (with one earlier source citing 'almost 500', implying ~20% headcount growth). It delivers four integrated service pillars: Valuation Services (covering residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, agricultural, plantation, and plant & machinery assets for purposes including financing, M&A, accounting, taxation, securities, Bursa Malaysia listings, and compulsory land acquisition); Estate Agency (sale, rental, and acquisition of commercial, industrial, investment, and residential properties, plus project marketing, tenant representation, and global mobility services for expatriates); Research & Consultancy (feasibility studies, market intelligence, development advisory, and property investment appraisal); and Property & Facilities Management (asset, building, maintenance, tenancy, financial, and insurance management for institutional portfolios). The firm is registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Malaysia and is a member of RICS, FIABCI, RISM, PEPS, MIEA, and MIPFM.

The business model is B2B professional services with quote-based engagement typical of consultancy work; revenue streams are organized across the four service lines, with Property & Facilities Management providing recurring annuity income (e.g., mandates for PNB, KLCC REIT, AmBank, and Bursa Malaysia's exchange building) that complements transactional valuation and agency fees. In 2015, Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) — Malaysia's largest fund management company — acquired a 49% stake, and in February 2026 the firm entered a strategic affiliation with UK-based Chestertons Global (220+ years of history, operating in 20+ countries) to form 'Rahim & Co Chestertons,' adding cross-border advisory capability to its domestic franchise. The firm is family-led, with second-generation members (Alisa M Rahim as Executive Director Corporate Strategy; Aslina M Rahim as Director Corporate Communications) holding key operating roles alongside a deep bench of senior directors including Sr Chee Kok Thim (21+ years at Ministry of Finance Valuation & Property Services Department), Siva Shanker (35+ years, Estate Agent of the Year 2014), Husni Mohammed Hassan (Finance & Corporate Services), and Sr Chan Fei Fei (Valuation Services, Corporate & Financial).

Named client engagements span multiple Malaysian government bodies and GLCs — PKNS, ECERDC, KWSP (Employees Provident Fund), Lembaga Tabung Haji, MRT Corporation, PR1MA Malaysia — alongside major developers (SP Setia, Sime Darby Property), PNB Commercial, KLCC REIT, AmBank, and Bursa Malaysia. The firm has been recognized across multiple years at the Asia Pacific Property Awards (Best Property Consultancy 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18, 2019-20; Best Real Estate Agency 2014-15, 2015-16; Best Real Estate Agency Single Office Malaysia 2021-22; Property Agency/Consultancy Malaysia 2024-25), reflecting decade-long industry recognition. Geographic focus is domestic Malaysia with international extension via the Chestertons Global affiliation.
