Jakarta, October 8, 2025 — Xavier Marks Indonesia (“Xavier Marks”), the largest digital real estate agency in Indonesia, continues its global expansion by officially establishing operations in Japan and Malaysia. After successfully growing its network in Sydney, Australia, Xavier Marks now becomes the first Indonesian real estate brand to operate actively across multiple countries — bringing world-class professionalism and global service standards to international markets.
This expansion comes amid a surge of interest from Indonesian investors in overseas assets. According to Indonesia Property Watch (2025), the number of Indonesian investors purchasing properties abroad has grown by 35% over the past three years, particularly in East and Southeast Asia.
Daniel Sunyoto, President Director of Xavier Marks Indonesia, stated that this milestone is part of the company’s long-term vision to deliver a globally integrated real estate service network.“This expansion reflects our commitment to delivering international-standard real estate services while opening cross-border investment opportunities. We take pride in bringing Indonesian professionalism and hospitality to the global market. Through our expansion into Japan and Malaysia, we aim to offer trust, comfort, and secure, transparent, and high-potential investment opportunities for Indonesian investors abroad,” said Daniel.
Albert Pramono, Executive President of Xavier Marks Tokyo Central, shared, “We’re excited to bring Xavier Marks into the Japanese property market, particularly in Tokyo Central, with a focus on house reform projects in strategic areas such as Asakusa. Japan’s real estate market shows consistent positive growth with land prices rising between 5–8% per year and strong rental yields fueled by tourism growth and high demand for short-term rentals such as Airbnb. Tokyo offers a perfect balance of stability, security, and long-term investment opportunities.”
Data from the Japan Real Estate Institute (July 2025) shows that the Condominium Price Index in Japan rose by 10.47% year-on-year, while the Global Property Guide (2025) reports an average rental yield of around 6%, particularly in Tokyo and Osaka. This growth is further supported by a 40% increase in international tourist arrivals in the first half of 2025 (Japan National Tourism Organization, 2025), boosting short-term rental demand.
Stevie Lee, Executive President of Xavier Marks WellEstate Malaysia, added, “Malaysia was chosen due to its close geographical and cultural ties with Indonesia, as well as its investor-friendly regulations. Foreign investors are allowed to own freehold properties, enjoy low property taxes, and face no restrictions on fund repatriation. Malaysia is a strategic choice for Indonesian investors thanks to its economic stability, competitive cost of living, and strong government support for foreign investment.”
According to Knight Frank Malaysia Residential Insights (2025), rental yields in Malaysia range between 2.9%–7%, depending on location and property type, with strategic areas such as Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Penang offering the highest growth potential. The government’s Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H, 2025) program has further strengthened Malaysia’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s most investor-friendly property destinations.
Ali Tranghanda, CEO of Indonesia Property Watch, highlighted, “Japan and Malaysia have become new magnets for Indonesian investors. The positive trends in both countries have driven growing interest among those seeking to diversify their portfolios internationally. With strong market fundamentals and stable political-economic conditions, Indonesian investors now have secure and profitable access to global property opportunities.”
According to Daniel—recently recognized as Most Influential Property Figure in Brokerage at the Golden Property Awards 2025—this expansion underscores Xavier Marks’ position as an innovative real estate agency with world-class service standards, while enhancing Indonesia’s reputation as a source of professional excellence in the global property industry.
“This expansion is not just about business growth; it’s about strengthening the excellence and integrity of Indonesian professionals on the world stage,” Daniel concluded.
The success of this expansion reflects Xavier Marks’ consistency in innovation and digital transformation since its inception. Supported by digital platforms such as XMART and professional development programs through the Xavier Marks Digital Academy (XDA), the company continues to enhance its competitive edge in the era of real estate globalization.
Through its presence in Japan and Malaysia, Xavier Marks reaffirms its commitment to delivering international-standard property services from Indonesia to the world, solidifying its position as a pioneering Indonesian real estate agency with global reach.
