Good evening Sir/ Mdm,
Shall we work out your numbers to decide which is the best option for you and family?
My clients chose to decouple recently and looking at another purchase at the moment.
When will be a good time to meet up to discuss and explore your options?
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 afternoon,
It depends on a few variables, namely how the financial numbers look with each approach, the purchase price of the next property, and also the strength and affordability of the owner that is exiting the private property ownership to purchase the next property. I have calculated both scenarios for my clients, and usually selling 1 and buying 2 is required if they are buying much higher price quantum properties where they need to unlock the full sale proceeds from the existing property to fund the next downpayment, and also to get higher loan amounts. Another client opted with decoupling instead because of the sentimental value they have for the existing property, and find that its not the right time to sell.
The optimal approach is different for each family as they have different requirements. Happy to discuss together on the best approach and structure the one that suits best for your property portfolio.
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.

Condo Seller 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.
EC Seller Mr. Siah - We have had a positive experience with Ivan throughout the sale of our EC. He is a very responsible and helpful agent. He managed to sell our EC within a month, which exceeded our expectations. He has gone the extra mile to ensure there are interested buyers viewing our flat every weekend, and has provided frequent updates on the progress. On top, he has provided valuable advice in our property planning journey. He is someone who listens to the needs of his clients, but at the same time value add by adding his own perspective and insights to what works the best. We are very grateful to have him through this sale, especially since this was our first time selling our EC Read More

It is never about cost efficient, it is about best suited for the buyer. Do note that selling a property will involve legal fees on top of agent fees, thus it will really depend on the overall restructuring.

Hi,
If you are thinking of buying a second property for investment, the right thing to do is to decouple. This would cost around 6k. This is ok provided the person taking over the property has sufficient monies to takeover the loan as CPF monies invested will have to be returned to the selling spouse.
However, if monies are tight to buy the 2nd property (one each for each spouse), then, you can consider selling the current property and buying two (one bigger and one smaller). It all depends on your financial and investment decisions. But, I would advise you to engage a personal agent to advise you accordingly as not all properties are good investments in the longer term. Some outdo others, if you know where to buy or invest. These are million dollar questions and you should get it right, first time, every time!
I would be keen to assist you in your investment journey.
Cheers!

Hi Sir/Mdm,
There is no right or wrong answer to your question. It depends on your objective and the potential of your current property. If there are still upside in your current property then decoupling and buy one more will be more ideal.
However, if the current property has reached it's potential then you may want to reset your portfolio by selling it and buy 2 better properties. Feel free to contact me so that I can gather more information from you and provide you with further analysis.

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.

“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,
There is no right or wrong way in doing this. I think it depends on various factors, i.e the current property value, the cost of properties you're looking to purchase, your objectives and time frame etc.
