Hi Ming Zhi,

Typically it will take around 6 months to 1 year as it takes time to secure a buyer and also to find your ideal unit. I have worked on similar cases and will be happy to share the best approach for a smooth transition.

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,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

We're looking to find an investment property next and will be glad to work with Ivan again for the long-term to restructure our property portfolio. He has become a friend now, and we are most happy to recommend his professional services to our loved ones and friends.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered all our enquiries. He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked. Thanks Ivan! :)

-- Sellers of Exec Maisonette Gaffoor & Isha --

Buying or selling property is a big decision, as we wanted to make sure our agent is someone we can trust, get in touch with, and approachable. Ivan certainly fits the bill. He was available anytime of the day to answer our queries and was with us throughout the process. We have no reservations in recommending him.

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers at Sengkang, Jonathan & Abigail --

By faith, we signed the contract with Ivan and in less than two weeks time, we opened our house for the first and the only viewing, days later the OTP was signed! Thank you for all your excellent diligent services and all the professional advise!

-- HDB upgraders to New EC owners Mr. & Mrs. Goh --

My unit was marketed by another agent back in Q3 2017 and after more than 3 months, there wasn’t any offer. I almost lost hope and thankfully I made the right decision to switch to Ivan. Through his hard work, perseverance & commitment, my unit was sold by Q1 this year. Would definitely recommend Ivan’s services to any potential sellers out there. Read More

Hi Ming Zhi,

Excluding the time taken for marketing the unit, from date you submit the resale application to completion is going to take an estimated 9 weeks, assuming that all necessary documents are submitted by both sellers and buyers, as no extension required on both parties for the completion to take place.

Marketing period can be as short as a couple of days to weeks or even months. More importantly, you will need to register your intent to sell on HDB Resale Portal, and will only be able to grant the Option To Purchase to a buyer who makes an offer which you are able to accept 7 days after the registration.

If you require a more detailed timeline for this resale transaction and also worked on the prospective purchase timeline to minimise inconvenience in the transition between the 2 transactions, feel free to get in touch with us for discussion in private as we are not alerted to any responses posted here.

Hi Ming Zhi,

To upgrade, there are 2 important issues that you will need to pay special attention to. One is your cash flow and finances, the other one is the upgrading timeline.

For cash flow, it will be advisable to plan in a manner that you can avoid the need to pay Additional Buyer Stamp Duty and also minimize the cash outlay for the condo unit. As for timeline, with careful planning, the sale and purchase can be done concurrently such that you will be able to transit smoothly and seamlessly from your current place to your next home without the need of an interim housing solution.

I have assisted many couples in Punggol area to upgrade successfully to a private property. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation more before I assist you to draw up an upgrading plan.

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.”

Hi Ming Zhi,

The timeline very much depends on the property you're going to purchase. If the condo you purchased is still undergoing construction, you may wish to hold back the sale until it's closer to TOP. If you had sold your HDB flat too early, you might need to shift house more than once.

If you need the sales proceeds from your HDB flat for your condo purchase, then you will need to plan the timeline for both the sale and purchase carefully, so that the funds from your CPF refund could be used for your purchase.

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB transactions. I will be able to assist you in your upgrading plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
