What are indications that the agents are siding with tenants, low balling or slow to viewings? I can understand landlord's frustrations in current market as it is unlike last year where the entire rental market is doing extremely well, units are flying off the shelves even without viewing.

The market for rental currently is subdue, probably due to the influx of new projects that obtained TOP this year. Furthermore the expectations of tenants has also been controlled that most tenants are willing to renew their existing lease instead of looking out for alternative places when landlords are looking to increase rental (of course reasonable raise).

In my opinion, it will be in your interest to find out what your agent has done so far in reaching out to prospective tenants on top of passive marketing (listing on PropertyGuru only for example), how are response from the effort and feedback from ground on top of the market supply and demand. Listen to it, break down the details and analyse it yourself to determine if you agree with what your agent has shared with you before you decide if the agent is working in your interests.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Determining whether an agent is truly working in your interests can be challenging, but there are several signs you can look for to evaluate their professionalism and dedication to your goals:

Communication: A good agent communicates regularly and effectively, keeping you informed about the progress of your property listing, any inquiries or offers received, and market updates. If the agent is slow to respond to your messages or fails to provide updates, it may indicate a lack of commitment.

Market Knowledge: A knowledgeable agent should have a good understanding of the local real estate market, including recent rental trends, comparable rental rates, and neighborhood dynamics. They should be able to provide you with accurate information to help you make informed decisions about pricing and marketing your property.

Transparency: An agent should be transparent about their fees and the services they provide. If they are reluctant to disclose their commission structure or other costs associated with their services, it may be a red flag.

Professionalism: Look for professionalism in their conduct, including how they present themselves, handle negotiations, and interact with both landlords and tenants. An agent who is respectful, courteous, and ethical in their dealings is more likely to have your best interests at heart.

Track Record: Ask for references or testimonials from previous clients and inquire about the agent's track record of successful rental transactions. A reputable agent should be able to provide you with evidence of their past performance and satisfied clients.

Alignment of Interests: Consider whether the agent's actions align with your goals and priorities as a landlord. If they seem to prioritize the interests of tenants over yours, engage in lowballing tactics, or are slow to arrange viewings, it may indicate that they are not fully committed to representing your interests.

Feedback and Recommendations: Pay attention to feedback from tenants who have viewed your property or interacted with the agent. Positive feedback and recommendations from tenants can be a good indicator of the agent's professionalism and effectiveness.

Ultimately, trust your instincts and don't hesitate to switch agents if you feel that your current agent is not acting in your best interests. It's essential to work with someone you trust and feel comfortable with when renting out your property. Read More
