Hi,

Typically the purchaser agent does a co-broke with the seller agent (sharing the seller's commission) for a private residential transaction. Other fees payable include legal and conveyancing fees, and bank valuation and admin fees. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Good evening,

For purchase of private property, buyer are normally not required to pay their agent for their commission.
However, as buyer, if you are getting a mortgage loan, you will need to prepare 5% cash for down payment and balance 15% down payment can be made using CPF. In the event that you are SPR or SC who is holding onto more than one residential property, you will be liable for ABSD payment.

Do feel free to contact me should you require my assistance.

Hi, it is always advisable for a buyer to engage an agent to act on their behalf due to a few simple reasons. :

1) buyer agent is a one stop solution to introduce bankers as well as law firm.
2) buyer agent will do a detail analysis, giving you an estimated valuation of the unit and showing you data as to why this unit or this particular project will be a good buy.
3) all of the above and what’s more, buyer like yourself do not need to pay any commission.

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

3. Assist you to shortlist suitable units and arrange viewings for you, thereby saving you time.

Hi,

Thanks for your query!
Yes foreigners are eligible to purchase only private properties in Singapore. However, as a foreigner, the additional buyer stamp duty (ABSD) will be levied in your purchase.

The initial cash outlay :
20% Cash (5% Cash & 15% CPF)
80% Maximum Loan
3% Buyer Stamp Duty
15% ABSD
Legal Misc Fess
NO agent fees

Perhaps you could furnish me with your exact requirements and finances on hands to conduct the financial cash calculations/ progressive payments to reaffirm and shortlist the residences units you could otherwise consider. At the same time, I will take the opportunity to run through the key financial loan approval process, share some market insights/ provide you with recent sales transaction caveats and explain the entire procedural framework involved.

As mentioned earlier, there is no agent fees involved, hence my service and consultation comes at no cost ; and you are assured of being walked by step by step on the entire procedural framework - from technical matters to financial, legal matters and beyond.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

First of all congrats on your plans on purchasing a private property!

To answer your question, there is no need for purchasers to pay any service fees to your agent in the buying process hence it is indeed very wise that you have decided to engage the services of a professional to assist you in the process and also to keep the process as smooth and stress free as possible for you.

If you do not mind, what I would suggest is that we can actually meet up for a chat and I can get to understand your requirements better. There are no obligations at all and we can really just tale it as a chat. What is important is we can also help you to do a financial calculation for your purchase and probably suggest any creative financing solutions to you which suits your profile. You can also take this opportunity to see if you are comfortable with me to help you in your search of your next home.

My partner and myself have always pride ourselves as realtors who always place our clients interests above our own. There was even one instance where we helped our client purchase a landed property and we drove a hard bargain for our buyers. This buyer was with us for 6 years and we have helped them to upgrade from an executive condominium to owning 2 private condominiums and subsequently a landed property with a pivate lift. All these are only possible if we plan far an look far ahead. We even managed to knock the price down by $120,000 from what they were willing to offer. These are satisfactions that money cannot buy.

My partner and I were also very honoured to be featured by Council of Estate Agent (CEA) in their newsletter for great client service and personally I also won the SAEA Real Estate Excellence Silver Award for Best Client Service in 2014. We believe that with our business ethics, we will be able to provide some good advice to you and the same level of service to you as well.

Really looking forward to hear from you soon! Cheers!
