Hi,

It will be better to engage an agent first to work out the financials and understand your requirements, and narrow down the search to find suitable units so your time is spent more meaningfully. You can understand the resale process and timelines better and do better planning. We will also nego a good price and point out the pitfalls while house hunting. Interview a few to see who you are comfortable with and can be committed to your plans. Thanks and hope to discuss further.

Warm Regards,

Good afternoon buyer,

There are definitely more pros than 1 con for engaging a representative.

Prons:
1) I know the purchase procedure well so i can prevent you from getting into potential lawsuit if you commit mistake when you DIY
2) I will arrange viewings for you according to your requirements so you just need to be present to view your units. Your precious time can be used on other matters.
3) I will advise you what is the right offer supported by past transactions and estimated valuation so you wont offer over valuation.

The only and one con buyer usually feel:
1) commission

I personally feel that commission should always be secondary if you are able to afford it. For a professional that will always act in the best interest of my clients, treat each and everyone as a friend providing my truthfully advice, I believe you will be in my good hands.

Hope my opinions and sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

Wish I am able to value add further in your purchase.

Warmest Regards,

Hi buyer,

There won't be much of a point to study and get yourself familiar with the resale process, because you're only going to do it once, twice, and probably not more than that in your life.

Engage an agent, and the benefits (including monetary) would probably outweigh the agent fees you need to pay.

Afternoon,

Is your intention to DIY the purchase? If not, why bother to spend time hunting and coordinating the viewing when your appointed agent can get it done for you? Your appointed agent should also help you understanding your financing so that you are aware of what you are getting into.

Do contact me further should you require my assistance.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

It is recommended that you engaged a knowledgeable and experience agent to assist you in the home hunting process. These are the reasons why:

1. An agent will be able to analyse the price for you and ensure that you do not overpay for a unit.

2. Your interest will be safeguarded as the agent is a neutral party and will be able to point out the potential flaws in the unit for example leakage from ceiling etc which may be overlooked by you.

3. It will be a fuss free and seamless process as the agent will guide you through every step of the transaction.

The only downside is the 1% agency fee which will be outweigh by the money you can save off the purchase price as the agent will negotiate and ensure that you purchase at fair price.

Hi, by engaging an agent to assist you, besides saving much time and a peace of mind when it comes to handling of legal document, your servicing agent would have the right tool and knowledge to inform/ show you of those good buy units of your preferred location.

Hi

Unless you are buying properties every other weeks or months, you will not have the knowledge and experience of a full time real estate salesperson.

No one can learn all there is to know about real estate and expect that to sustain them in years to come. This is because the market is dynamic.

It is therefore a constant process of education and accumulation of experiences for real estate professionals.

If you need further assistance, you may call 9620 0827  or email to gavin.ng@gmail.com
