Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, I guess it is a matter of your choice cos you could discharge this particular agent and just liaise with the tenant agent directly will do.

Hi there, I have actually recently taken on a similar case where I have to contact the tenant directly after my Landlord engage me to take on their unit and discharging their agent despite the current tenancy haven't ended. I have to start from scratch and take over from the current tenant to the best of my ability. If you are really thinking of changing your current managing agent. I would suggest the most important thing is to get all the necessary contact and documentation before you disengage your current agent. Reimbursed his marketing expense if any and try to keep things as cordial as possible. Feel free to drop me a text or a call and I may just point you in the right direction.

Hi Sir/Madam

I understand your concern about switching rental property agents and ensuring a smooth transition, especially with an ongoing tenancy for one of your property.

1. For your property that is currently vacant, did you sign any exclusive agreement with the current agent?

2. Discuss a smooth transition: It is good to communicate and discuss the possibility of a smooth transition with your current agent. Express your desire to maintain a good relationship and ensure the ongoing tenancy is not disrupted. Request that the current agent hands over all relevant documents, keys, and information to you (such as current tenant contact number) as owner of the property.

3. To better understand your needs, could you please elaborate on the type of property management services you require for the property with an ongoing tenancy? By providing more details, I can assess how I may be able to assist you with your property management needs.

4. Advertising fees: Regarding advertising fees, it is important to note that this is typically an optional cost, unless you had previously agreed to pay for advertising fee with your current agent. As part of my service, I do not charge advertising fees to my clients.

I would be delighted to assist you further. With my extensive experience in rental transactions and property management, I can help navigate the process of changing rental property agents smoothly, ensuring the best possible management for your properties.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

If you find that the agent is not representing your best interests, I would advise you to terminate his or her service. If your concern is about the ongoing lease, you may get the tenant's agent contact and liaise with the agent directly. Agents are supposed to behave professionally and therefore he or she will get into trouble if he or she purposely sabotage the tenancy.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can guide you on how to manage such a tricky situation.

Regards,

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:
http://bit.ly/CEAnews

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 landlord,

I can understand your concerns as I do have other landlords facing similar situations and have similar concerns. 1stly, did you sign any exclusive agreement with the existing agent to market the property? If not, there is nothing wrong to change or add on another agent to market your property, especially for the vacant unit which requires you to put in a tenant as soon as possible.

As for the unit that is currently tenanted, if the worry is about managing the property since it is still tenanted, the fact is that you can take over the management of the tenancy on your own until the current tenant moves out, or engage the services of another property manager to manage the tenancy.

Seems that you are fearing the agent alot that why the agent maybe taking advantage of this to exert the influence over your decision therefore I guess this is about right to look into switching of agent, and of course, to do it, it is easier to say than doing it. Speak to your family over this and see what their opinions are and gain their support first before you make your move.

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.

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.

You have valid concerns about switching agents while a tenancy is ongoing. Here's how to navigate the situation:

Review Your Tenancy Agreement:

Check the tenancy agreement for any clause regarding a change in property management. Look for terms like "managing agent" or "authorized representative."
Communication is Key:

Current Agent: Schedule a meeting with your current agent. Be clear and professional about your decision to switch due to trust concerns.

Empty Unit: Offer to reimburse them for any advertising fees incurred specifically for the empty unit (receipts needed). This goodwill gesture might incentivize a smooth handover.

Tenanted Unit: Explain your desire to find a new agent to manage the ongoing tenancy.

Tenant: Inform your tenant about the change in property management. Provide contact information for the new agent to ensure a smooth transition. Singapore law allows you to do this with reasonable notice.
