Asked by
My unit has been on the market for several months with only one viewing so far. I'm thinking of finding a second or third property agent to help facilitate the sale. What are the pros and cons of working with a second agent?

In the meantime, I would like to explore renting out my unit to help cover my monthly home loan payments. What are the pros and cons of renting and selling at the same time? Do note that selling the unit remains my top priority.

Since my unit is located in the D4 region, I prefer the second agent to have expertise in that area.

Thanks.

Hi there, my suggestion would be for you to have a chat on the progress of his marketing methods and overall progress for your sales. At the same time, you can shortlist a few more agents if your current agent is not satisfactory. There are both benefits and disadvantage with engaging a sole agent, two agents or marketing it as open listings, which I will not be able to explain in details here. drop me a call/whatsapp and I maybe able to point you in the right direction.

    Hi there, There are a lot of different factors when it comes to the turnover time for the sales of a residential property. Some of the different aspects are the buyer vs. seller requirements, renovation/ upkeeping of the property. These are the inherent conditions that can't be easily changed. Others such as salemanship/ marketing do plays a very important role to make up for the shortcoming of the properties. In any case, this is a genetic case study and I can't go into the specifics unless I am given more details. Drop me a call/WA for a more detailed discussion and it might just open your perspective and help you with your sales.

Hi, there will be multiple pros and cons regarding this. Opening it up to a second agent means making it sort of a open listing, and renting the unit out will have the pros and cons too. Renting a unit out will mean that those looking for own stay might lose interest in the unit. However, if you look for a tenant that is ok to end tenancy if needed, then that will be fine. Do reach out to me if you are interested to find out more.

Hi,

Renting out your unit while selling can help cover the monthly mortgage. However, it may narrow your pool of potential buyers, as the new owner would need to take over the tenancy (unless arrangements are made to compensate the tenant for moving out early once the sale is finalized).

I’d be delighted to assist you with your sale. Please take a moment to review my testimonial below for your consideration.

This platform does not allow me to contact you directly so kindly contact me at https://wa.me/6597261112 I would be glad to assist you further.

Thank you and best regards,

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--

I believe it is not about the agent being expert in certain areas now, given that information about projects and locations are easily available and buyers will be in a good stead to have all these details on their own. What you need is to find out what the 1st agent has done to reach out to prospective buyers to only yield 1 viewing so far, and what could the potential issues be. It is not simply about engaging more agents is existing outreach efforts are done proper, given that most agents would be just utilising PropertyGuru or some other advertising portals for advertisements only, which most likely the 1st agent will also be doing the same.

If they are all on the same portals, advertising at the same price and information, it does not make a difference, unless you mention about luck. See which agent has better luck to get the buyer in.

The private resale market and new launch market has a wide gap now and resale market is getting more challenging too with more project obtaining its TOP. Being in district 4, with developer relaunching development in Sentosa with steep discount, it has definitely affected the resale market a fair bit, thus we really need to find out more about what the exact situation is for the current campaign.

Hi,

Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of working with a second agent, and the considerations of renting vs. selling:

### 1. **Pros and Cons of Working with a Second Agent**
**Pros:**
- **Increased Exposure**: A second agent can bring in more buyers or potential tenants by tapping into a different network or marketing strategy.
- **Greater Flexibility**: With two agents working on your behalf, you're increasing the chances of your property being shown to interested buyers faster.
- **Specialization**: You may find an agent who specializes in your property type or location, which could lead to better results.

**Cons:**

- **Conflicting Approaches**: Different agents may have differing marketing strategies or price expectations, which can cause confusion or hurt your selling process.

### 2. **Pros and Cons of Renting vs. Selling**
**Renting (While Selling Remains Priority)**
**Pros:**
- **Steady Income**: Renting out your unit provides a steady income stream to cover your home loan payments while still keeping the property on the market.
- **Flexibility**: If the market is slow, renting allows you to wait for a better offer while still managing to cover costs.

**Cons:**
- **Complicated Process**: Balancing both renting and selling can create logistical challenges, especially when you need to show the property to buyers.
- **Lease Obligations**: A rental contract might tie you down for a while, making it harder to sell quickly.
- **Market Perception**: Some potential buyers may hesitate if the property is being rented, as they might fear complications with the tenant situation.

### Conclusion
While working with a second agent could boost your chances of a sale, ensure clear communication to avoid conflicts. Renting could help with cash flow, but it may complicate the selling process. Prioritize selling, but weigh the pros and cons carefully.
