Hi Mr Chew,

Based on what you have shared, yes you will indeed get back all the sales proceeds in cash. Another thing that we need to look at will be, did you apply for any CPF grant when you purchased this flat. If you did, then it will still be considered as CPF used and this will need to be refunded to your CPF account.

Maybe I can suggest we can meet up for a chat and I can a calculation for you. From the figures then we will be able to advise you whether did you use any CPF and when you sell the house, will there be any monies that need to be refunded back to CPF and how much will you get back in cash. With this information, you will be able to make a better decision in whatever you are planning for. Of course we can also provide some advice to you with regards to your future plans if you wish.

There are absolutely no obligations to this meet up. We can really just take it as a chat and knowing a friend. But we really encourage all sellers and buyers to really have a proper financial calculation done up before embarking on anything else to be on the safe side.

Just to share a little on myself. I have been in the industry for 10 years. Over the years, I have served many clients and many are my friends now. Many have also left testimonials for me for my service rendered, I was also featured in CEA's newsietter together with my partner for Great Client Service. I also won the SAEA Real Estate Excellence Silver Award for Best Client Service. I have left some links below so maybe I will need to trouble you to copy the links to your internet browser and take a look. Hopefully this will give you some idea of how I conduct this business. I am proud to say that we have always placed our clients' interests in the top position and I believe we will be able to offer the same level of service to you and hopefully even better.

Looking forward to hear from you soon! Cheers!

**Note: We are not prompted when you respond here, hence please get in touch directly. Look forward to hear from you soon! **

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

We're looking to find an investment property next and will be glad to work with Ivan again for the long-term to restructure our property portfolio. He has become a friend now, and we are most happy to recommend his professional services to our loved ones and friends.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered all our enquiries. He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked. Thanks Ivan! :)

-- Sellers of Exec Maisonette Gaffoor & Isha --

Buying or selling property is a big decision, as we wanted to make sure our agent is someone we can trust, get in touch with, and approachable. Ivan certainly fits the bill. He was available anytime of the day to answer our queries and was with us throughout the process. We have no reservations in recommending him.

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers at Sengkang, Jonathan & Abigail --

By faith, we signed the contract with Ivan and in less than two weeks time, we opened our house for the first and the only viewing, days later the OTP was signed! Thank you for all your excellent diligent services and all the professional advise!

-- HDB upgraders to New EC owners Mr. & Mrs. Goh --

My unit was marketed by another agent back in Q3 2017 and after more than 3 months, there wasn’t any offer. I almost lost hope and thankfully I made the right decision to switch to Ivan. Through his hard work, perseverance & commitment, my unit was sold by Q1 this year. Would definitely recommend Ivan’s services to any potential sellers out there. Read More

Hi Mr Chew, I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Hope to hear from you soon and have a great week ahead. By the way, can I have more info of your HDB detail so that I can find out about the unit value on your behalf alright? And yes, your cash proceeds will be mainly in cash since you did not touch the CPF.

Hi,

If you have not utilised any CPF funds for the flat, there is no need for you to refund any CPF back from your cash proceeds. You will be able to receive the sales proceeds in CASH.

Do take note that any CPF Housing Grant or Proximity Housing Grant is considered as CPF funds, and will need to be returned back to your CPF upon the sale of the flat.

I am experienced and well-versed in HDB resale transactions. My area of focus is in Central/Queenstown/Bukit Merah/West region, and I am blessed to have transacted several "million-dollar" HDB flats over the past 1-2 years, with many others in the $900k+ range.

I will be able to assist you in finding the right buyer to pay the right price for your HDB flat. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion on the sale of your flat.

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,

Dear Mr Chew,

Planning for your next flat should be part of your consideration when you want to sell your flat. Before you commit to sell your flat, you should consider factors such as but not limited to:
1) your next option
2) Financial considerations

Since it a fully paid by cash hdb and without any cpf grants previously, you should be able to get back the proceeds in cash less any fees (if any).

Feel free to contact me at 92707548  to discuss further.

Thanks

Hi Mr Chew, Yes you will receive the proceeds in cash. But i think even before selling - the most important is to know why are you selling today. Many people are making the mistake of selling without having a good plan behind it.

I am Gary Seah and I am the founder of Second Property Investors and has been writing since 2015 to share my insights in the Singapore property market. I have helped many people to strategize, plan & restructure their property portfolio and get the best profit from it. I have been the agent behind many lucrative upgrading case studies.

Second Property Investors serves 10,000 readers monthly and helped hundreds of homeowners to upgrade/restructure their property portfolio

Hi Mr Chew,

I will be able to run through with you the estimated amount of proceeds after deducting the various costs involved in selling a property, and perhaps also run through with you on your post sales planning if you have plans to purchase another property, so that you will have a better understanding on the financial commitments involved in the sale and purchase of a property, where you will make a more informed decision doing so.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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 8,500 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my clients’ 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.

Good afternoon Bing Hong,

you most likely will receive your sales proceeds in cash but can i check with you did you take up any housing grant in terms of housing grant or proximity grant in the past? It will affect your cash proceeds.

By the way, what are your plans after this sale?

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.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
