To assist the developers to sell the allocated units, The Government has developed a subsidiaries "PERTAM Properties Sdn Bhd (PPSB)" to manage and guide the developers in the disposal of such quota. Despite of the helps given by PERTAM, majority of the quota allocated for Bumiputera cannot be sold by the developers. Thus this study is undertaken to examine what are the pertinent factors that lead to the existing problem. The data for this study is sourced from questionnaires administrated used personal interviews on 50 selected developers (98% response rate). A set of questionnaires is designed using 68 items - instruments. The 68 items were analyzed. Four factors grouped into status of property, site selection, price, and material selection used and tested for its reliability and produced an alpha Cronbach value of 0.782. The findings conclude that the four factors analyzed in this study do not have a significant relationship with the selling performance as every P value for each factors resulted P > 0.05 which; P = 0.084 > 0.05 before CF and P == 0.209 > 0.05 after CF for the status of property, P = 0.005 < 0.05 before CF and P = 0.814 > 0.05 after CF for site selection, P = 0.376 > 0.05 before CF and P = 0.665 > 0.05 after CF for price and for matelials selection the P value before CF is P == 0.440 > 0.05 and P = 0.885 > 0.05 after CF.
