Hi,

1) This is more commonly happened in the buying a private property.
2) The main reason of this is because the seller's agent is not keen to share his commission with the buyer's agent.
3) If your agent is collecting his commission from you, I believed the seller's agent is happy to entertain your agent.
4) Seller's agent has to protect the interest and privacy of his client. So, he is doing the right thing not to release his client's detail.
5) But he will has to provide sufficient document to proof the genuinity of his client's ownership of the property when comes to the stage of offering an OTP.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

Hi I am sorry you are facing such an encounter. As an agent, I have encountered this several times when representing buyers.

I believe the property in question might be a private property. Some seller agents prefer not to share their commission with buyer agents, and hence they do not reply or reply very slowly. Of course this isn't right and there is a way to communicate professionally.

I hope your situation gets resolved soon. Have a good day!

It is normal for seller agent not to allow buyer or buyer's agent to contact seller, be it PDPA or protection of interests. The key thing is how do we define hostility and delay in responses, is it through text messages or through phone calls? Sometimes I feel both parties communicating have issues together therefore unless you have personally hear the seller agent to conclude about his or her hostility, it could also be judgemental from your agent to perhaps influence you from purchasing this unit? Did you agent also show you some other listings or even new launch project for this purchasing process?

CK is right that it could also be the issue of seller's agent not willing to cobroke and share commission if this is a private resale residential property.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

My Answer with regards to your Question:

In the context of buying private properties, it's not uncommon for challenges to arise when the seller's agent is unwilling to share their commission with the buyer's agent. This reluctance often stems from the buyer's agent being paid directly by the buyer. In cases where the buyer's agent's commission is covered by the buyer, the seller's agent may be more cooperative. However, the seller's agent is obligated to safeguard the interests and privacy of their client, leading them to refrain from disclosing client details. Instead, they are expected to provide adequate documentation to establish the authenticity of their client's position.

Hi,

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. I have to say that I pity the Sellers, as these Seller Agents are not working in their clients best interests, and only care about their own commission.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Thank you.
