Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
--Jenny was honestly everything I could have hoped for in a real estate agent. She helped me sell my house and also found me a great new property, and I always felt she was genuinely looking out for me throughout the process.
What I appreciated most was that she was honest, trustworthy, and very reliable. She was always responsive, explained things clearly, and gave practical advice rather than just pushing for a quick deal. She also had a really good analytical eye — whether it was pricing, timing the sale, comparing different properties, or thinking through the numbers, she helped me make decisions with confidence.
She really went the extra mile, from handling the small details to guiding me through negotiations and making the whole process much less stressful. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, sharp, and genuinely cares--
Mr Ho (Resale condo seller/buyer)

-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--

Hi Ben,

For hdb sale its typically 2% of the sale transacted price + GST, and for private property purchase typically the buyers do not have to cover the agent fee as the agent representing you the purchaser will share (cobroke) the seller commission that is paid by the seller to the seller agent.

The current HDB resale market is a bit slower, especially if your HDB is an older HDB in age of 20+ years and above, so would not really recommend a DIY procedure and instead tap on the agent's and company's network to increase your buyer pool for a more favorable outcome. That way the agent can also coordinate your timelines tightly and monitor closely and execute the timeline based on your requirements. If you do not have a temporary place for transition, the agent's skill and experience to manage the process will be important (avoid absd, bridging loan, secure extension etc.)

I have worked on similar cases and will be happy to share more on the experience and clarify your queries.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 home-owners to smoothly complete their housing plans over the years. Please reach out to me at (65) 9 7 4 3 2 3 9 5 for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Sale & Purchase concurrently clients

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends.

-- HDB Yishun BTO 5-RM Sellers, Private Property Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Koh --

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan.

Yes — This Arrangement Is Absolutely Possible:
You can sell your HDB yourself via the HDB resale portal while engaging an agent exclusively for the condo purchase. There is no rule requiring you to have an agent on both sides.
On the Agent's Role in Your Scenario:
A good buyer's agent in this arrangement would do more than just help you find and purchase the condo — they would actively coordinate both timelines to ensure a smooth transition. This includes:

Advising on the right sequence — when to exercise OTP on condo relative to your HDB sale timeline
Ensuring your HDB completion date aligns with your condo completion date to avoid owning two properties simultaneously and triggering ABSD
Flagging CPF refund timing so your funds are available for the condo downpayment
Coordinating with your HDB buyers, the condo seller's agent, your lawyers and the bank simultaneously
Managing key collection, extension of stay requests if needed and any unexpected delays

This timeline coordination is actually where an experienced agent adds the most value in your specific situation — the paperwork is manageable DIY but the sequencing is where things can go wrong without professional guidance.
On Agent Fee Calculation:
Since you are engaging the agent purely on the buyer's side for the condo purchase, the fee structure is:
Standard Buyer's Agent Commission for Resale Condo:

Typically 1% of the purchase price
For a $1.5M condo — $15,000
For a $2M condo — $20,000

However there is good news:
In most resale condo transactions in Singapore, the seller pays both the seller's agent commission AND the buyer's agent commission. This means:

If the seller's agent is co-broking and covers buyer's agent fee — you pay nothing
If there is no buyer's agent fee coverage — you negotiate directly with your agent on the rate

On the Additional Timeline Coordination Work:
Since you are asking the agent to also oversee your DIY HDB sale process — which is beyond the standard buyer's agent scope — it is fair to have an open conversation with the agent upfront about whether an additional coordination fee applies. Some agents will absorb this as value-added service to win your business. Others may charge a nominal flat fee of $500 to $1,500 for the additional coordination work.
My Honest Recommendation:
Be upfront with the agent about exactly what you need — condo purchase plus HDB timeline coordination. A good agent who is confident in their value will take this on as a package because a smooth dual transaction is ultimately in everyone's interest.
Would you like help thinking through your specific timeline and sequencing strategy? Happy to assist! Read More

Hi Ben,

It is advisable to engage a salesperson to market the unit for you as the HDB market is very slow currently. Without the proper tools and exposure, it will be hard to get a good price for your property.

The commission that you pay will definitely outweigh the commission that you are paying. The same agent can then plan the timeline and cashflow and assist you to get a resale condo without any fees.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and share with you on how I can value add to your sale and purchase.

Testimonial from my Clients

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work you have done in managing both the sale and purchase of my condominium.
Throughout the entire process, you demonstrated strong market knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. Your clear guidance at each stage — from pricing strategy and marketing, to viewings, negotiations and completion — gave me confidence and made what could have been a stressful experience very smooth and well managed. I am especially grateful for the way you coordinated the timelines between the sale and the new purchase, ensuring everything proceeded seamlessly. Your responsiveness and willingness to address my questions promptly were greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for your dedication and support. I am very pleased with the outcome and would be glad to recommend your services to others seeking a reliable and professional housing agent.
Jane Chng (Homeowner and Investor) 2026

Nick is THE absolute best agent, guide to navigating the property market in Singapore. From selling to buying, he manages to get the absolute highest when selling and negotiators to the absolute lowest when purchasing. (So double win for me!). In fact, I bought my new home at the absolute lowest transaction across all the transacting homes. Most agents would just give vanilla advice, he puts scrutiny into every potential choice we were making by advising potential gains, rental yields, back up plans. I think we went through a whole list of more than 20 + before narrowing down to a few high potential properties! Super responsive to our questions and handheld us through the process and even answered questions in the middle of the night. Would absolutely recommend working with Nick for anyone looking to buy, sell or just advice!
Kenneth (Seller and Buyer) 2025

Nick was introduced to me by a friend who learned that my previous property agent wasn’t meeting my expectations. During our first phone call, Nick quickly grasped my concerns and provided a detailed financial plan the next day. Since switching to Nick, selling my house has been much more relaxed. His virtual tour and informative fact sheet eliminated the need for my family and me to be constantly present for viewings by unsuitable buyers.
Nick was invaluable in purchasing my next property. He sourced units within my budget and analysed price trends of condo projects I was interested in. With Nick’s assistance, the buying process was seamless, and he expertly coordinated the sale of my current unit with the purchase of the next. Kudos to Nick for his outstanding service and advice!
Eileen Chen (Seller) 2024

During Nick’s presentation to us, he showed confidence and resourcefulness. He showed us his various methods of reaching out to potential buyers instead of just relying on Propertyguru. He also saw the potential of our home to sell at our projected price. Where other agents deem impossible to achieve, he did his analysis and deems it reasonable and achievable. Nick proves trustworthy. Read More

Hi goood day,

Many clients nowadays choose to DIY their HDB sale via the HDB portal, while engaging an agent to handle the purchase of their resale condo and coordinate the overall transition process.

This is because the resale condo purchase process can actually be more complex — involving OTP timelines, bank loan coordination, valuation, stamp duties, legal completion and timeline planning.

In such cases, the agent can still help to:

• Coordinate the timeline between the HDB sale & condo purchase
• Advise on cashflow / CPF usage
• Plan temporary extension stay if needed
• Coordinate OTP exercise dates carefully
• Ensure sale proceeds are ready for condo completion
• Liaise with bankers / lawyers / co-broke agents
• Avoid accidental ABSD or timeline issues
• Assist with negotiations for the condo purchase

However, one thing many DIY sellers may overlook is the risk management portion during the sale & purchase process.

Issues such as buyers not being fully eligible, loan approvals falling through, timeline mismatches or legal delays are things agents handle very frequently on the ground to reduce unnecessary risks and costly hiccups along the way.

As agents, we also have access to various tech tools, live transaction data and market analytics to better advise clients on the “right” pricing strategy — whether it’s ensuring you are selling at fair market value or not overpaying during your condo purchase.

Personally, I usually tell clients that the important thing isn’t just about “saving commission”, but ensuring the transition is smooth without costly mistakes or unnecessary stress ????

Sometimes, just one small timeline mismatch or pricing misjudgment can become much more costly than the commission saved.

Please reach out to me for a non obligation discussion on your options.

Have a nice day ahead !

(✔1) HDB sale commission is typically about 2 percent of the selling price plus GST

(✔2) Buyers usually do not pay agent fees for private property purchases as commissions are handled by the seller side

(✔3) Older HDB flats may take longer to sell, so marketing reach and agent support can improve results

(✔4) Coordinating sale and purchase timing properly helps avoid financial and housing transition issues

Good day to you.

To serve you better regarding timelines and funding progress, we must align our efforts with the selling schedule of your HDB unit.

Let’s connect and sort everything out.

Navigating a property transaction can feel overwhelming, especially when it intersects with major life events.

• Divorce & Asset Settlement — guiding parties toward fair, practical outcomes for shared properties
• Intestate & Estate Planning — helping families navigate inherited property and future planning with confidence
• Complex Property Matters — including cases involving Lasting Power of Attorney, bankruptcy, or special circumstances

If you’re seeking clarity rather than pressure, I’m happy to have a conversation to understand your situation and outline possible next steps.
