Hi,

Its better to work with one professional agent whom you are comfortable with and can be committed to your housing plans and see things through to completion. More agents do not mean a faster approach as there will be no commitment from all parties.

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,

Hi there,

Thank you for your query on Property Guru.
There are a myriad of factors that affect the sales of units and of which the most important is how you brand, position and market your unit. The more extensive and aggressive marketing, the greater likelihood of interest and hence, potential offers and upscale price wars amongst consumers. This directly implies that the individual working for you must be 100% committed to his/her assignment.

Perhaps you could contact me at 96659926  for a non obligatory discussion for me to derive more info on your unit, advise on the financial sums/proceeds and enlighten my marketing techniques and strategies. It is essential you know the high&varied level of advertisement and exposure your unit would get with the vast networking. I do take pride in my craft and even go the extra mile with an exclusive and exquisite 360* virtual tour and professional videography to enhance the desirability and exposure of your residence. I have additionally transacted a EM unit in Bishan at Record Price and it was published in the Newspaper (Available on my website). It will be apt to share the current transaction caveats for the sales of your unit and customise an in depth price analysis details sales report for your forthcoming sales. It is all about the marketing technique and networks through which your property will attain mass exposure. Thank you very much!

Hi, yes sure you could always engage more than 1 agent if you think the exclusive agent didn’t really perform up to your expectation. A seller or landlord could terminate the exclusive that they have signed at any point in time. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Hi

U can engage more than 1 agent and u only pay the agent who close the sale.

But more agents actually doesn't benefit seller in many ways. It is better to work with 1 agent u are comfortable with and she will be more enthusiastic in assisting the sale of your property.

If u need any assistance, u can contact me at 87779000  Read More

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I would advise you to work with an agent exclusively to best safeguard your own interests. You may want to find out from your current agent what is the challenges he or she is facing for the sale. If the marketing efforts are truly lacking, then it may be wise to terminate and engage another agent.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance!

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.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

Dear sir/madam,

Many times, it is not about whether you are appointing an exclusive agent or multiple agents to market your property for sale. With almost 10 years of industry experience under my belt, I have been constantly reviewing my engagements with clients and realise that behind most of the successful transactions, it is down to the chemistry between myself and my clients where we are able to relate to each other, for them to understand and complement the activities which I am working on for them to get that matching buyer or tenant.

You can have more than 2 agents, but if you are unable to relate to what they are doing or they do not keep you updated on what they have done, you will end up having this same feel that your agents are not enthusiastic.

More importantly in your current situation, you will need to ensure that there is no existing exclusive marketing agreement which is still in effect, signed between the first agent and you before you engage more agents to work on this project. Otherwise whichever agent who close this deal, you will also be required to pay the first agent if the exclusive marketing agreement is still in effect.

Hope the above helps. Key to a successful partnership is always honest communication and understanding.

Happy 2019!

Good evening Sir/ Mdm,

Sorry to hear what you are going through. Perhaps you can invite your agent for a quick chat to get some updates and feedback to her about your feelings. If her replies are not to your expectation, you might want to proceed to change a representation.

I sincerely believe that she has done her best to assist in your sale but sometimes some salespeople thought their owners will know what's going on but in fact it turns out to be not.

And not to worry, even if you engage 2 agents, you will only have to pay the one that successfully closed the deal for you.

I always believe you should engage an exclusive agent that you can click well and always act in your best interest.

I transacted units in Punggol and currently marketing a 4RM at 612N Punggol Drive too. I have 6 viewings since i started marketing last sat and already have an offer that my sellers almost accepted.

I hope I can extend my expertise and experience to both of you.

May I know when will be a good time to meet up for a discussion?

By the way, what's your plans after the sale?

Dear Property Seller,

Good morning and thank you for your question. Where you are at, is a common place to be for all sellers during the selling phase of their property.

First of all, in all questions, let me value add here by adding some clarity to the question above:

1. The FIRST part is whether or not one or two agents best serve your needs. (This assumes that you have found at least 1 capable and dedicated agent, I will explain this part later)

- In an exclusive arrangement, "1 seller - 1 agent", the key principal here is that there is an understanding of mutual benefit, in it the agent will advise and market the property as their OWN home/investment. In this arrangement the interests of BOTH the agent and seller are perfectly aligned. However again, this assumes you have found at least 1 capable and dedicated agent.

- In a open listing arrangement, "1 seller - 1 or more agents", the key principal is that the seller is looking to sell, the agents are looking to close at any price that the seller will agree to. In such a scenario, it would be impossible to properly advise or stage a property for rent or sale as it would potentially help a rival agent clinch the deal. Again, this situation is unavoidable if you have not found that 1 capable and dedicated agent.

The SECOND part of your question where your agent does not seem interested to market your property could lies in the domain of PASSION.

- Passion is a word often bandied about though few really understand its meaning. To put into perspective, no RES can be passionate over ALL properties. As individual human beings, they all have their personal tastes of what they like and don't like.

- A client best defined "passion" for me. He said this, "You grew up here, you have lived in this area your whole life! Of course you sell it easily."

This was the realization that my strongest personal closing rate is in the East Coast. Being a professional, I am technically sound on ALL aspects of real estate all over Singapore, but when it comes to East Coast properties, I have a +10 FIREY PASSION when it comes to any marketing.

- This is the key here that you are looking for. Take some time to find an agent with a location focus, likely, this reason above is the answer that you are looking for to find that "interested" agent to take care of your property.

I trust this reply would go some ways to helping shed some light into your decision ahead, all the best and thank you.
