HI!

Yes it's true that you do not need a buyer agent to handle for you as the seller agent could assist you with it.

However, it would be best if you get a buyer agent to assist you because there will not be any cost from your side and he will assisting you in your best interest unlike seller's agent.

The buyer agent could co-broke and share the commission with the seller agent while handling your case .

Feel free to consult me for more details so that i can assist you to my best of my ability.

Thanks!

Hi, yes as a buyer, you need not engage an agent to assist you and what's more, the seller agent could complete or handle the paperwork for you too. But having an agent, it brings to you more benefits than harm. As a buyer agent, we are always on the ground and so we do know where are the good buy or good deal and we could always suggest such projects to you and to assist in arranging viewing all the way to the negotiation when closing the deal. What's more, you do not need to pay any commission at all. Hope it does makes sense to you.

Hi buyer,

It'd definitely be advisable for you to engage an agent to represent you for your buying, to handle the house hunting, negotiation, paper work etc; ultimately you don't need to pay the agent at all.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and I make you some good recommendations in Newton/Novena.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Getting a buyer agent will help to ensure you get the process professionally managed, find an efficient legal partner to assist while he/she can also analyze the pros & cons with the comparable data on whether the buy is a good deal. The sellers agent has no duty of care to you since he/she is representing the seller's interest. Typically for private condo transactions, buyers need not pay commission as both seller and buyer agents will cobroke. There's a value buy at D11 now, freehold selling at leasehold prices, would you be keen to find out more? Thanks and hope to value-add to your plans further.

Warm Regards,

Afternoon,

Based on the system setup within Singapore, buyers can opt to purchase residential property without the assistance of an estate agent. However, in accordance to CEA ruling, seller agent are not liable for your responsibility on the documentation and procedural submitting. This is to prevent any conflict of interest throughout the transaction. It would be advisable that you engage a qualified agent to assist you on the hunt.

Do contact me further for detail discussion.

Hi friend,

Yes, you can make a purchase without an agent representing you.

you would need to know the various procedures at your finger tips.

By now you would know that as a Buyer of private residential units, you need not pay commission to your agent.
He gets it from / share with the seller's agent.

There is One important point you need to know.

According to CEA, the agent representing you is to look out for your best interest throughout the process.

You can liase directly with the seller's agent, without having one yourself.

Be advised that the agent will be looking after the interests of the seller, not yours.

It does not cost you a cent, but have all to gain.

I am happy to extend my expertise to help you in your purchase. As much as i hope you would use my service, you are free to use any agents. BUT PLEASE engage an agent to help you and look out for your best interests.

regards

Good evening investor,

Yes you are definitely right that you dont have to engage a real estate salesperson to represent you in a purchase, you can deal directly with the seller's agent.

But you do take sometime to take about it.

As a private buyer, you dont have to pay commission for services provided by your representative. Secondly you will have a professional thats provide you expertise and knowledge during viewings and negotiation.

Why not look for me now?

You just have to let me know what're your requirements and budget, just leave the rest to me. You simply have to appear for viewings will do.

Will the seller's agent protect your interest? You have to understand they REPRESENT seller not buyer.

Hope my sharing is beneficial in your investment plans.

May I know how can I continue to value add in this purchase?

Dear buyer/investor,

Purchasing a property has been much easier now when compared to the past, given that all transacted prices can be found for you to do a comparison of prices if you have internet access on the go easily. When it comes to mortgage, there are also plenty of applications and access to mobile bankers to help you out in resolving any query regards to the interest rates, repayment terms and etc. On top of that, there are also mobile applications available to show the different amenities within vicinity of the project you maybe interested in, therefore to be very honest, the technical aspects of purchasing a property in Singapore do not require you to have a representative.

So what do we rely on to put food on the table at home for our family as a realtor? Your reason to engage our services lies with our experience gained over the years in transacting countless properties, therefore you can rely on our experiences in dealing with unexpected issues arising out from the whole process that will greatly value add to your whole purchasing experience.

If you need a full suite of services in the whole purchasing process, let us deliver for you all the above, best of all, we can deliver these with a smile on your face :) And I am confident to let you know that even if you have to pay for our professional fees, you will also do it with a smile :)

Dear Investor,

You are right that you can proceed with buying without engaging an agent.

However as a private property purchaser, you do not have to pay commission to the agent but you have an agent to safeguard your interest. Moreover, your agent will assist you with the entire transaction from shortlisting suitable units, arranging viewings, negotiating the best price, paperwork and much more!

My focus in Real Estate is Sales and Lease of Private Property in D11 and D12 and I will most definitely be able to assist you with your investment.

Hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to working with you to find the best buy for investment.

Thanks!
