Asked by
Recently bought a HDB flat and was disappointed that my buying agent is not putting a good representation for me. I am not in a hurry to get the HDB appointment as I would like to obtain keys after the Chinese 7th mth. It seems that he is on the same side as the selling agent in hastening the transaction. I dont feel that he deserve the 1% commission I am giving him.

Is the 1% commission fixed or can I give him less since he is not performing up to standard?

Any CEA rules on that?

Afternoon Heather,

Commission payable to servicing agent is always negotiable. However, if you have signed the commission agreement, it will be slightly difficult to work out the commission payable. On the other hand, if you do really feel that he does not deserve the 1%, and you have evidence that he working against your favour, you do have the rights to complain him to the CEA.
As for your other question, newbie tends to know lesser than the seasoned players. Hence asking your way through and watching how he perform, during the initial meet up, can give you some clues.

FYI.

Hi Mr/Ms Heather,

Sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience on buying your dream home.

Like I always tell my clients, buying & selling a property is always a happy occasion.

I believe there is still ways to remedy what you encountered. Try work with your agent again for that, in case there is any mis-communication.

Or if possible, speak to HDB officer 1800-866 3066 to see what are the remedies available for you.

Feel free to ring me shall you need any further assistance. (No Obligation)

    So hdb governs the conduct of agents?
Hi Mr/Ms Heather,

HDB don't gover agents, the correct authority should be Council Of Estate Agencies (CEA) www.cea.gov.sg

I have suggested you to approach HDB is to seek advise on the procedure that you do not wish to have the completion during the month you mentioned and not on dealing of the agent representing you.
