For selling, the standard arrangement in Singapore is a commission on the sale price, agreed with you up front in writing before we start — no hidden charges, and you only pay on a successful completion. For buyers, it’s often little or nothing: on most HDB resale and many new-launch purchases the seller’s or developer’s side covers the agent fee, so you get a dedicated buyer’s agent at low or no cost. I’ll always be clear about who pays what before you commit to anything.
I’ll give you an honest, evidence-based figure rather than an inflated one to win your listing. It’s built from the recent transacted caveats in your block or project, the current asking prices of comparable units, your unit’s floor, facing, condition and lease, and where the market is right now. You’ll see the same data I do. You can also get a quick indicative range any time using the valuation estimator on this site — just remember it’s a guide, and a proper valuation is far more precise.
That’s exactly the part I enjoy most. We start with your budget and loan ceiling, your must-haves and your deal-breakers, then I build a tight shortlist so you view the right homes, not every home. Along the way I’ll explain grants, LTV, ABSD if it applies, the Option to Purchase and the HDB or conveyancing timeline in plain language, and I’ll handle the negotiation and paperwork. Plenty of my buyers tell me afterwards it felt far simpler than they feared.
It depends on your finances, the ABSD rules and the market, and getting the sequence wrong can cost you real money — in ABSD, in bridging, or in paying for two homes at once. I’ll model your specific situation: your sale proceeds, your loan, the timelines, and whether selling first, buying first, or a coordinated same-window move puts you in the strongest and safest position. Several of my upgraders have done the whole switch without ever double-paying.
All three. My day-to-day spans HDB resale flats, private condominiums and apartments, and landed homes, across both sales and rentals, plus new-launch and investment guidance. Different property types need genuinely different knowledge — grants and ethnic quotas for HDB, MCST and lease nuances for condos, rebuild potential and enclave demand for landed — and I’m comfortable across all of them.
Properly, not just a phone-photo on one portal. That means professional photography and a walkthrough video, a styled, well-written listing across PropertyGuru, 99.co, SRX and EdgeProp, and direct outreach to the buyers and co-broke agents already active in your area — sometimes before the unit even goes public. I run the accompanied viewings myself, qualify the buyers, and give you honest feedback after each one so we can adjust quickly.
Yes — that’s a big part of the value of an independent agent. I’ll give you a straight read on a project: its pricing versus nearby resale, the developer’s record, the stacks and layouts to avoid, the likely rental yield and the realistic exit a few years out. We’ll model the real cost including ABSD, TDSR and stamp duties, and I’ll tell you honestly if the numbers don’t stack up. My job is your outcome, not the showflat’s sales target.
It’s a useful starting point, not a formal valuation. It applies plausible per-square-foot figures by property type, location and tenure to give you an indicative range in seconds — handy for a first sense of where your home sits. A real valuation accounts for your specific floor, facing, condition, renovation and the very latest transactions, which a quick estimator can’t. For anything you’re acting on — a sale, a purchase or a loan — book a proper valuation with me; it’s free and there’s no obligation.
You’ll never be left guessing. I send regular updates over WhatsApp or a call, share honest feedback after each viewing, flag offers and market shifts as they happen, and show you the numbers plainly rather than dressing them up. The whole point of engaging an agent is that the stress and the legwork become mine — but the decisions and the information stay clearly with you.
Whatever you share — contact details, your financial picture, documents — stays strictly between us and goes no further than is needed to help with your property matter, which is how Singapore’s PDPA expects it to be handled. Nothing is passed to parties outside the deal, and you won’t find yourself on some marketing list you never opted into. On higher-value and landed transactions discretion matters even more, and it’s treated that way.
