Hi Gary,

Yes contra facility is available, but we will have to time both transactions well so to have a seamless transition. The other way is a temporary loan facility provided by HDB, which allows the buyer to collect the keys first and redeem the loan with sale proceeds later, but there will be some interest expense payable.

I have helped various homeowners to coordinate their timelines and sell off at a good price outcome. Look forward to do the same for you :) I am contactable at 97432395  .

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB Executive Maisonette Sellers, Mr & Mrs Yeo --

Before contacting Ivan Ng, our Property Realtor, we were quite apprehensive about our Contra-deal ( concurrent resale & purchase of HDB flats) as at that time the outlook of the resale property market was quite sluggish & pessimistic. But surprisingly our property realtor, Ivan , was able to put us at ease with his professional competence, astute work experience & friendly nature . He was able to consummate our contra-deal within one month of our HDB application. Now we are convinced by his promise that (in Ivan's own words) ... "A contra-deal is where the sale & purchase transactions are done concurrently and completed on the same day. This results in a seamless transition of the funds from your sale proceeds and CPF proceeds towards your purchase price." More importantly Ivan has also managed to clinch a good deal for our contra-deal. We'll certainly recommend him to our kins & friends. Thank you very much, Ivan. We are definitely your satisfied customers!

--- HDB Flat Sellers Uncle "Seng" and Mdm. Png ---

Translation from Mandarin:

We are from the Pioneer Generation, already in our 70s, and have no experience selling HDB flat. As our new BTO is arriving, we considered selling our flat earlier.

We felt he was a patient agent who is willing to hear out our plans and concerns, and explain new HDB selling procedures clearly to us. He is also a hardworking agent who did Roadshows for weeks to create awareness for our unit, and we quickly found a buyer through this avenue.

We also appreciate that he made the extra effort to accompany us down to the Banks and Town Council to help us with the outstanding paperwork procedures, and ensure the sale go through smoothly. Throughout the process, we always felt assured and happy, as Ivan was always professional, accessible and saw things through till conclusion. Ivan will remain as a family friend and we will be glad to invite him over for coffee when our BTO is ready. Read More

Hi Gary,

For BTO, it is also possible to arrange for contra so that you can collect your new BTO flat keys together with the sale completion of your resale flat. However, this involve proper planning of the timeline so that both processes can happen together.

I have assisted my clients to plan for contra and with proper planning, they usually have some time to do some renovation for their BTO while staying at their existing home. Feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation and draw up a plan for you.

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:
http://bit.ly/CEAnews

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”

Hi Gary,

Yes, this is possible. However, doing contra also means you hand over the keys of your current flat to your Buyers on the same day you collect the keys to your BTO flat.

I suppose you will need to cater some time for renovation of your BTO flat. So, unless you have alternative housing, contra may not be suitable for you.

You may wish to opt for a temporary loan from HDB to collect the keys to your BTO flat first. This will allow you ample time to finish up your renovation before the completion and handing over keys of your current flat.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
