Asked by
We are planning to purchase an ec which will T.O.P in Q1 next year. I am starting to doubt that the agent is really knowledgeable and experienced in computing the financial commitments and advising us the right information for the ec purchase. I also feel he does not have client's interest at heart as he seems to be proposing for us to sell our current HDB flat at a lower price than the latest transacted price so we can sell it quickly.

In addition, he told us that we do not need to sign exclusive agreement with him to sell our HDB flat. When I asked him about his commission quantum, he said the norm is 2% but he can do lesser than that. Are these scenarios a legit cause of worry?

Hi, I would say no one is perfect and the same goes to all agents out there. So if you do not have any confident with this person as your servicing agent, I would suggest that you invite or interview some other agents and select a few from there. I believe that will definitely make your job easier.

Good morning upgrader,

It's great hearing from you. I do understand selling and purchasing a property is stressful and definitely wish that everything will goes smoothly without any hiccups.

Probably you can speak to your current marketing agent and ask him to address all your concerns and worries. If you are not satisfied with his replies, you might want to consider to speak to other agents since you are no longer comfortable with him.

Normally for a upgrading case, detailed financial planning is very crucial. If not, you will end up in no man's land. Your marketing agent should be showing you past transactions (up to 3 months) or surrounding units' asking price for your reference as your asking or selling price.

As for commission and exclusivity, it's really depends on individual. Some agents prefer exclusive as in black and white, some prefer sole marketing as long as they have a verbal exclusivity between each other.

Yes standard commission for sale is 2% but some is fine taking lesser so not to worry about these.

Selling and purchasing should be a fun affair so dont worry too much. If you need any assistance or advice in your upgrading, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Warmest Regards,
