You may wish to furnish full details of the property you have purchased, the various dates of purchase as well as the agent commission you have paid.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 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.

To calculate the profit needed to offset the Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) paid on the previous property, the new property ABSD, and the property agent fee, you would need to consider several factors:

Previous Property ABSD: Determine the amount of ABSD paid on the previous property. ABSD rates vary depending on factors such as residency status, the number of properties owned, and whether the property is residential or non-residential. Calculate the total amount of ABSD paid on the previous property.

New Property ABSD: Determine the amount of ABSD payable on the new property. Similar to the previous property, ABSD rates will depend on various factors such as residency status and the number of properties owned. Calculate the total amount of ABSD payable on the new property.

Property Agent Fee: Consider the property agent fee paid for purchasing the new property. This fee is typically a percentage of the property purchase price. Calculate the total amount of the property agent fee.

Calculate Total Costs: Add together the ABSD paid on the previous property, the ABSD payable on the new property, and the property agent fee to determine the total cost incurred.

Profit Needed: The profit needed to offset these costs would be the difference between the selling price of the previous property and the purchase price of the new property, minus the total costs calculated in step 4.

Profit Needed = (Selling Price of Previous Property) - (Purchase Price of New Property) - (Total Costs)

Consider Other Costs: Remember to also consider any other associated costs such as legal fees, renovation expenses, and financing costs when calculating the total expenses and profit needed.

It's important to note that the profit needed to offset these costs will vary depending on individual circumstances, including the specific ABSD rates applicable, property prices, and transaction costs.

Hi!

In simple terms:

You may consider first totalling up all the costs incurred for your previous property: property price (at your point of purchase) + BSD + ABSD for previous property + SSD (if any) + agent fees paid for previous property + any other miscellaneous costs incurred.

Thereafter, you may calculate the costs for the new property: new property price + BSD + ABSD + agent fees + any other miscellaneous costs.

This would allow you to have a clearer picture on your costs and potential profits :) I would be happy to dive into details with you and help you along this journey with exact figures - please reach out to me at 8824 7726  or shalenehjh@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

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.”
