Hi Ms Christine, yes it is better to have the same agent for buying and the selling. Reason will be simple... 1) this agent of yours will have full knowledge of your finances and loan to better calculate the next purchase after the selling. 2) the commission could be negotiated and be lower as you are buying and selling at the same time. I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Hi Mrs. Lee,

It will better to work with 1 committed agent who can manage your timelines better for the 2 transactions. The hassle & coordination that needs to be done with 2 separate agents may make the experience difficult, unless you don't intend to do both concurrently and have an interim place to stay temporarily. Thanks and hope to understand your requirements further and discuss and value add.

Warm regards

Hi Christine,

In my opinion, it will depends on what is involved in the sale and purchase. Are you referring to selling a HDB abd purchasing a landed or what type of transactions? Plainly speaking, there could be possibility that a salesperson is very confident in handling HDB sales but when it comes to private property like landed, they may have lack the knowledge in this sector or even skills to negotiate in such price range while a salesperson with extensive knowledge handling landed sales maybe unaccustomed to negotiating HDB deals where the numbers are smaller. Your best bet should actually to engage a team who offers boutique services where they have dedicated personnel handling different market segments while you only need to communicate with your account in charge to arrange for viewings and etc to minimise the hassle of having multiple parties to coordinate with. This system works very well for my team who have benefited many of our clients who also referred their friends and relatives to us because they felt the benefits of such arrangements.

If you wish to find out how we can work together, feel free to get in touch with me.

Hi Christine,

I have helped client in both selling their property and buying another.

One biggest advantage is "know your client'.

Having served him as his agent selling his property, i have gotten to know him well, and he me.

From how he had renovated his property, plus spending time with him, i know exactly what he is looking for in his next purchase.

Selling and buying property is more than just commission.

It is about selling it quick and at a fair value, and finding a replacement property quick and at a good price too.

Feel free to contact me. i have at least 3 experiences, serving the same Selling and Buying client simultaneously.

Afternoon Christine,

It would definitely be more ideal to have one servicing agent for both your sales and purchase. This would allow better management in terms of handing and taking over of units, understanding your financial requirement and last but not least, work on a package for getting both done seamlessly.

Do contact me further should you require further assistance

Good afternoon Christine,

It's great hearing from you!

Maybe you can share more on your situation so I will be in a better position to advise you.

Normally in such cases, I will advise my client to engage a realtor for both sale and purchase transactions.

Why?

This person will know better about your financial calculations, the time frame between two transactions etc.

Let me provide you an illustration.

I recently sold a HDB to my direct buyers. Without guidance of a realtor, they are clueless about the HDB guidelines/ regulations/ time frame from transition from private sale to HDB purchase etc.

And of course usually commission is negotiable between you and the realtor especially for two transactions. You might be able to get a small discount off. =)

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need any assistance or advice in your property needs, feel free to contact me.
