KUALA LUMPUR: Masteron Group – a premier property developer in Malaysia – announced its collaborative partnership with Maybank and The Makeover Guys (TMOG) to offer a complete homeownership solution for its newest launch in Puchong, the Astra at Aurora Residence. This collaboration is designed as a holistic solution for all three parties that assists Malaysians in reaching their major life milestones. Understanding the daunting process of home ownership – especially for first time buyers – is extremely daunting, with many significant decisions to be made from financing, to choosing a property, to even picking wall colours and fittings. As Malaysians buying their starter homes may become overwhelmed, this collaboration therefore aims to demystify and ease the process for home buyers to turn their units into fully integrated dream homes. With this partnership, prospective Astra at Aurora Residence home owners have access to both home ownership financing and home customisation financing, as well as a selection of furnishing packages provided by TMOG for Astra at Aurora Residence customers to choose from, worth up to RM45,000* (*terms & conditions apply). “It was really important to us to create a one-stop-shop for these first-time homeowners,” says Choy Kin Mann, Director of Masteron. “With 80% of our customers for Astra at Aurora Residence buying to stay, we knew we wanted to give them comfort and support from house to home. Now, we can do exactly that, covering these young home buyers from property purchase to financing to interior design. We’re very excited to not only continue Masteron’s long-standing relationship with Maybank – since our founding in 1981, in fact – but also to highlight our newer collaboration with TMOG as well.” Astra at Aurora Residence exemplifies modern living in Puchong Prima, designed with the idea of blending the lines between ‘live, work, and play’. These 728 serviced apartments, designed as starter homes for young families, feature New Urbanism-inspired designs that promote walkable, mixed-use, and diverse neighbourhoods, combining modern architecture with nature-centric facilities. With amenities like a hydroponic glass house, two swimming pools, and a communal herbs garden, the property is purpose-built for a lifestyle that is natural, timeless, and future-proof. Adding on to the home comforts provided within Astra at Aurora Residence, Maybank  MyDeco financing provides prospective home buyers further financial accessibility for options for interior design, furnishing, fittings, aesthetics, decorations and more. In fact, Maybank MyDeco financing provides up to 120% of the property value,  including additional 30% on top of existing financing or a maximum of RM250,000, whichever is lower. Financing is disbursed progressively over a 12-month period – with a repayment period of up to 10 years or until the age of 70, whichever comes first – ensuring flexibility, convenience, and providing liquidity for the customers. “We are thrilled to partner with Masteron and The Makeover Guys to make home ownership a joyful experience for Malaysians,” adds Tracy Pan, Head of Mortgage at Maybank. “Our goal is to simplify the entire home ownership journey, from securing a mortgage to creating a space you truly love. Maybank MyDeco financing empowers customers to not only purchase their dream home, but also personalise it to reflect their unique style. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to putting our customers first and providing comprehensive solutions that meet their evolving needs. This is our drive and commitment to Humanising Financial Services: by easing our customers’ journey through putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.” “Creating a home goes beyond decorating and arranging furniture within four walls and a roof. Turning a house into a home means creating a space that offers comfort while showcasing the style of the people living there — which is exciting, no doubt, but can get overwhelming, especially in the rush of organising your first home. Our role here is to simplify the interior design process,” shares Gavin Liew, CEO and Founder of The Makeover Guys. “Our available selection of base templates has been curated to serve as a helpful starting point for homeowners, easing them into the design process with plenty of room for future growth.” With this three-way collaboration, future homeowners can look forward to having a fully integrated, end-to-end process to take their starter properties from a blank slate to their first home.
