Firdaus & Associates

What Firdaus & Associates does

Firdaus & Associates (legal name: Firdaus & Associates Property Professionals; brand also operating as FAPP, Firdaus & Associates Group) is a Malaysia-based, founder-led multi-disciplinary real estate consultancy established in June 1998 by YBhg Datuk Sr Firdaus Musa. Headquartered in Wangsa 118, Kuala Lumpur, the group operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries — FARE Agency (real estate agency and project marketing), FAPMS (property and facilities management), and Firdaus & Associates Holdings (FAH) — and delivers services across property valuation, real estate agency, business valuation, corporate advisory, market research/feasibility studies, and residential and commercial property management.

The firm maintains a proprietary Property Valuation and Management System Portal that supports end-to-end valuation workflow from Letter of Instruction through Open File, Site Inspection, Valuation Report preparation, and Despatch, complemented by a three-tiered Valuation Department comprising a Mobile Valuation Marketing team, a centralised Valuation Helpdesk (phone, fax, WhatsApp, SMS, email), and a Technical Valuation Team. Tech stack is augmented by an 'Automated Valuation System' and a maintained transaction database rather than disclosed machine-learning pipelines. Service delivery is anchored by a nationwide footprint: one HQ plus nine regional branches (Klang, Ipoh, Setia Alam, Petaling Jaya, Putrajaya, Seremban, Kuantan, Penang, Johor Bahru), plus a Real Estate Negotiators Training Centre in Setia Alam. The firm is an approved panel valuer for multiple banks and financial institutions and adheres to RICS Red Book, IFRS/MFRS, Malaysian Valuation Standards, and Securities Commission/Bank Negara guidelines.

Revenue is generated across four streams — property valuation (project-based professional fees), real estate agency (transaction commissions from subsale, project marketing, leasing, tenancy management, and investor advisory), property and facilities management (recurring monthly fees for JMC/MC/RA and commercial portfolios), and business valuation plus market research/feasibility studies (bespoke professional services fees with quote-based pricing). Customer segments are horizontal, spanning developers (e.g., Sime Darby Property, Mah Sing, UDA, HCK Capital, PKNS, Seacera, AZRB), financial institutions (bank panels for mortgage valuation), government/statutory bodies (MRT Corp, IIUM), and individual property owners and investors served via 100+ real estate negotiators in Klang Valley and nationwide branch teams. Distribution is direct-to-client via branch offices and bank panels, with a 2023 EdgeProp digital partnership adding an online agency channel for FARE.
