Best Real Estate Agents in Singapore

How to choose the best real estate agent to sell my house?

Selling your house is obviously one of the most tedious and expensive events in your life. It is also an emotional and extremely time-consuming process. That is the reason why most home owners choose to engage  real estate agents in singapore to settle all these worries and problems.

In recent years, our Government has come up with courses to guide DIY home sellers on “How to sell your house by owner”. Yet most of them choose to hire a Real Estate Salesperson because over the years the government also come up with even more complicated rules and regulation. Even if home sellers are able to learn quickly and mastered all the new rules and regulation, how are they going to generate all the contacts and leads that a full-time real estate specialist had in possession?

A licensed full time property agent will be able to manage and guide you through the complex procedure of selling your homes. He or she should be acting in your best interest at all time.

How do I choose a good estate agent? With more than thirty thousand real estate agents in Singapore, who should you choose and what should you consider before engaging a property agency or agent to represent you? Here is a couple of convenient and helpful tips to help you choose a good property agent in Singapore.

Make sure the property agent is licensed with The Council for Estate Agencies (CEA)

The most basic requirement of engaging an agent is to make sure he is registered with The Council for Estate Agencies. In the past there are some agents whom did not renew their license and yet take up real estate work when it comes along. Legally they cannot carry out duties of a real estate agents in singapore if they are not registered with CEA.

The Council for Estate Agencies has a mobile app, CEA@SG Mobile Application where you can use to check whether the person you are engaging is a licensed real estate agent singapore or not by keying in their name or handphone number or registration number. You can download the app through Apple store and Google Play store. You can also check via CEA’s Public Register Website.

Recommendations from friends, colleagues and relatives

Most of the time, people will first start off by asking their friends, colleagues and relatives for any good property agent to recommend?

This is a very good and valuable form of recommendation if it comes from people who don’t have anything to gain by sharing with you their most honest reviews based on their personal experiences. But something to take note, what if they want to recommend another of their friend or relative who is an agent but they themselves had not engage before? It could be quite an awkward situation if the agent can’t deliver your expectation after hiring him or her. Trust me I have seen this situation many times before.

Be Choosy, very choosy!

Why you need to engage a top property agent in Singapore to serve you? Is it a complicated contra sale? Perhaps you need to sell your home as fast as possible or is it to sell for a higher price? Ok most likely you are trying to sell fast sell high right? Anyway, these is something that you cannot achieve by yourself that’s why you need a top property agent in Singapore to assist you! So, go all out to choose the best real estate agent in Singapore that suits you!

Ask lots of questions, ask anything you don’t know, ask anything that you already know. Just ask! Your property agent should be able to answer you. If they are not able to answer you immediately, at least it’s good if they say they will come back to you real soon. It’s a big no no if they clearly give you a wrong answer confidently! That’s aka to cheating and dishonest.

So now what to ask your real estate agent? You can ask them for a list of properties that they have recently transacted and what are the properties that they are currently working on.

Ask them about the real estate marketing strategies that they are using to sell your home. This is going to be one of the most useful questions because every agent works differently and have different real estate marketing strategies.

Are they currently working as a full-time or as a part time property agent? A full time agent will be able to do more for you because they have the time, experiences and resources to invest in your listing. Real estate course is their career and they will do anything to sell your home otherwise there’s no food on the table for their family.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that if they are a part time agent, you should kick them out of your house immediately. We have seen quite a number of part time agent achieving quite well in this industry too. You just need to be clear about their working hours and are they available on your preferred viewing timeslot. Are they prepared to invest in your listing? What is important is that your home get sold as per your expectation.
