Good morning Sir,

Have you fulfill your 5 years minimum occupation period? Do you remember who is the main applicant when you purchased this unit? Resale unit?

As both of you are mixed race marriage, you might be able to sell to chinese but it will be better to double confirm with HDB branch office because if you are not the first owner and you purchased it as non chinese buyer as main applicant, you will have to sell to non chinese.

I have a 4rm unit listing at Jalan Membina coming out soon. Hope I am able to offer my expertise to both of you as well.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

Good morning,

May I know if your 5 years MOP have been fulfilled? Do you recall who is the main applicant when purchasing the flat? It will be ideal to give the branch officer a call to confirm, I can share with you how to obtain the number.

With mixed race ethnicity, it may be possible to sell under the chinese race and likely all races. With this increased buyer pool, the chances of securing a higher price is better.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- HDB Choa Chu Kang BTO 4-RM Sellers, 5-RM Purchasers, Zima & Faizal --

Ivan was prompt in replying to my endless queries & concerns. He was very attentive to details and he knows my exact 'taste' during the process of house hunting. I would say that my requirement in getting a flat is quite high because i was looking for a flat located near my parent's as well as the MRT station. It impressed me that he could read my mind well which makes the whole transaction alot easier. I also love the fact that he is calm, not pushy & always ensuring me that there are still sufficient time to look out for other available houses. We are so thankful beyond words for his understanding and patience thoroughout the whole process. We managed to sell our BTO with 4 months extension & secure a 5 room flat without COV, located near my parent's and a 3 to 5 mins walk to the MRT station. What's even better is that the flat that we purchased is superbly convenient as it is just beside a big shopping mall! Thank you Ivan for all your effort & for the smooth sailing transaction!

-- HDB Toa Payoh 5-RM Sellers of Million-Dollar HDB, Mr. & Mrs Leong

We were fortunate to have met Ivan Ng. He was thorough in going through what the complicated home-selling process required of us and more so in understanding what we would like to achieve from the sale of our unit. His responsiveness and assurance, was a trait that we really appreciate. We managed to secure a sale that exceeded our expectation with Ivan’s advises. The offered price for our unit was a record set for the flats in the neighborhood. This was definitely supported by the fact that Ivan’s listing of our unit was detailed and stood out from other listings. Because of this, we also engaged Ivan's service to help us search and buy our new resale home. After some searches and viewings, we managed to secure one at a reasonable price with his help. With Ivan’s cheery and positive demeanour, selling our unit to procuring a new one, was a smooth journey for us. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. Read More

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, yes in your case you could try to appeal to HDB to allow you to be able to sell to all races.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your query.
I would like to clarify the following :

1. Is your 5 years MOP fulfilled?
2. Do you recall who was the main applicant when you purchased this unit ?

As a rule of thumb, being a mixed marriage, it could be possible to stay unaffected by the ethnic quota ,however, it is best to double check with your HDB branch office. Good to take this step by step.

If you would like to tap onto insights and some advise, I would be most glad to assist. I have handled the sales of myriad of HDB units - having also transacted an EM unit in Bishan at a record price which was published in the National Newspaper (article on website). Even in the event of your unit being affected by the ethnic quota, I will be able to manoeuvre through that with my expertise, having sold a couple of HDB units at profitable prices previously impacted with quota.

Please do contact me for a non obligatory discussion to share in depth price analysis details on your block and surrounding vicinity (capital % gains). More details on your end will enable me to churn out a more comprehensive, exact and thorough financial calculations with exact computations & timeline. Furthermore, I would be able to share more on the varied marketing strategies and mediums through which your property might get maximum exposure as well as study the recent up to date transaction caveats of similar sized units in vicinity and hence, present a sales and elevation report to advise further. My services include site inspection, makeover of unit if needed, photography and videography as well as multiple platforms and an internal networking app that has a massive reach.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

The ethic quota depends on the race which you purchase the flat under initially. It also depends on the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) quota currently. The quota changes on the 1st of every month.

I have assisted my clients whose unit are affected by the EIP to secure buyers at a good price. If there are restrictions due to quotas. then we will need to tweak the marketing plan in order for it to be more effective. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation and assist you to find out more information before assisting you further.

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:

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.”

Hi,

1) You may log into MYHDB using your singpass to find out who is the main applicant (listed as 1).
2) Your flat's ethnic group shall follow the main applicant's race.
3) To market your flat for the best price is first find out what is the average selling price within 200m of your flat for the past 6 months.
4) As this will set a guide on the current market price of your flat.
5) Selling at the right price will not only get you a real deal but also speeds up your selling process.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
