Working With Me — What to Expect, and What to Ask Any Agent

Most people research online and run their own numbers before the first meeting. This page is that pre-meeting package — honest, verifiable, no sales pitch.

Verify me first

Verify me: search 9693 7787 on the CEA Public Register. If an advert for this property shows a different number, it is not me. A name and registration number checking out is not enough on its own — CEA's own position is that the registered phone is the field a scammer cannot clone.

Six questions worth asking any agent you interview — including me

1. What's your actual track record?

Don't stop at a title or an award — check CEA's Public Register for active status, and ask for real, recent closings (not asking prices). My current listings and some transacted comps are public on this site: for-sale, market data.

2. How do you price?

I price from actual recent transactions (URA REALIS), not by quoting the highest number to win the listing — that's a recognised red flag (an inflated price to secure the mandate, followed by a string of markdowns). I'll tell you the worst number first, not the best one last.

3. How do you market?

Real artefacts, not claims: a live listing page, labelled before/after photos, a listing video, portal exposure and Facebook-group reach that actually happened — not a promise.

4. How do you communicate?

I reply within the day, usually within a few hours. Once we're marketing, you get a written weekly update, and feedback from every viewing the same day.

5. What about commission?

CEA sets no fixed rate — everything is negotiable. The rate is agreed up front and written into the agency agreement, never raised after the fact. (Reference: the SEAA fee guide — a seller typically pays their own agent's commission.)

6. What won't you do?

Bait-and-switch pricing, commission from both sides of one deal, price or return forecasts, and manufactured urgency — none of it.

Red flags when interviewing any agent

Whose agent am I?

One side per deal

Under the Estate Agents Act an agent can act for only one party in a transaction, and cannot collect commission from both buyer and seller (or landlord and tenant). If I act for the seller, I am the seller's agent: I'll help you with the paperwork, courteously and honestly, but I am not your agent and I won't charge you. (CEA)

What I tell you up front

Who I act for; whether I or my family have any interest in the property; and the commission, who pays it, and that it is paid to PropNex, the agency, not to me personally.

What I will never ask you to do

Hide or under-declare anything to HDB, IRAS, CPF or a bank (an unrecorded extension of stay, for example); sit on any offer without telling you; or show you only the comparable sales that suit me.

Exclusive or non-exclusive?

CEA recommends its prescribed estate agency agreement, with the rate and any GST written in. An exclusive agreement runs up to 3 months, and commission is owed to that agency even if another agency closes the deal. Under a non-exclusive one, you pay only the agency that actually closes it. (CEA, checked 22 Oct 2026)

Renting: who pays the agent?

Each side pays only the agent it engaged. If I collect a commission from you, I cannot also take a commission or co-broke fee from the other side or their agent. (CEA)

Want to talk it through first?

Selling: I start by showing you recent transacted prices for homes like yours, before any talk of price. Buying or renting: tell me your situation and we start from the numbers.
