Hi,

While home make over will be a plus point when potential buyer come to view the flat, it is not the deciding factor for them. But there will be many factors to consider when purchasing a home.

Feel free to contact me at 9270 7548  to discuss further.

Hi,

While a professional home make over will help buyers to have a good impression, it may or may not enhance the property value and its still important to have a good marketing and pricing strategy.

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,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

We're looking to find an investment property next and will be glad to work with Ivan again for the long-term to restructure our property portfolio. He has become a friend now, and we are most happy to recommend his professional services to our loved ones and friends.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered all our enquiries. He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked. Thanks Ivan! :)

-- Sellers of Exec Maisonette Gaffoor & Isha --

Buying or selling property is a big decision, as we wanted to make sure our agent is someone we can trust, get in touch with, and approachable. Ivan certainly fits the bill. He was available anytime of the day to answer our queries and was with us throughout the process. We have no reservations in recommending him.

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers at Sengkang, Jonathan & Abigail --

By faith, we signed the contract with Ivan and in less than two weeks time, we opened our house for the first and the only viewing, days later the OTP was signed! Thank you for all your excellent diligent services and all the professional advise!

-- HDB upgraders to New EC owners Mr. & Mrs. Goh --

My unit was marketed by another agent back in Q3 2017 and after more than 3 months, there wasn’t any offer. I almost lost hope and thankfully I made the right decision to switch to Ivan. Through his hard work, perseverance & commitment, my unit was sold by Q1 this year. Would definitely recommend Ivan’s services to any potential sellers out there. Read More

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Whether to do home staging or not, I feel is still not the number one factor to selling your house. There are still many factors involved. At the end of the day, the sales skills of your salesperson is also very very important. As the market sentiments have changed over the years, the strategies for selling properties have also changed. We always need to be kept ahead of times in order to make sure a property gets sold at a good price.

What I can suggest is that we can just have a meetup first and you can see if you are comfortable to work together with me and my partner. My partner is also my wife! Haha. No worries as there are no obligations at all and we can also take this opportunity to answer some questions that you may have and we can also do some calculations for you if you need. Then from the meetup, you can see if there is chemistry between us to work together for the sale of your flat. :)

My partner and I have a combined experience of 18 years and over the years, we have served many clients and many have left testimonials for us for our service rendered. All these testimonials were sent to our company. We were also being featured by Council of Estate Agents in their newsletter for Great Client Service. We pride ourselves as someone who upholds the interests of our clients as our top priority and because of that, we always have a constant stream of referrals from past clients. We have also came up with a system of selling properties which we have been using for about 5 years already. This system have indeed helped a lot of our clients to sell their property faster and at a higher price too. We will be more than happy to share this system of how we work with you as well.

Will be looking forward to your call or message and hopefully we can meet up for a coffee for you to know us better! Haha. We will need you to contact us instead of responding here as we will not be able to see your response. So sorry about that. See you soon!

Cheers.

Dear sir/mdm,

Make over of properties before selling will only give you an edge over your competitors if the other units are all not done up and are looking at similar pricing as what you are looking for. It does not mean that you will get a better price after making over, therefore whether it is advisable to do a makeover before marketing really depends on the ground situation.

As such, I always advise clients to provide me more details on their unit for sale, their objective of selling and some financial planning, such that I am able to look into compilation of raw data like recent comparable transactions, the current supply in market to establish the supply versus demand factor in order to get an in-depth understanding on the current situation and look into positioning the property right in the market. This is the reason behind why I am able to transact units with only 1 viewing done with marketing period of under 1 week for some projects where strong demand and low supply is observed. Even for unit which has history of unlicensed money lending issues, I have also managed to secure an offer for my seller within a matter of 1 month.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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 8,500 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my clients’ 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.

Please feel free to reach me from my website www.geryllim.com or connect with me directly on my mobile phone at 81577565  .

I look very much to hear from you soon.

Hi!

You are thinking in the right direction about getting the house ready with good vibe. But whether home staging is suitable depends on a lot of other factors, as highlighted by fellow realtors.

Besides the home staging part, it is also important to understand the overall timeline of the HDB sale and purchase transaction. Prior to meeting up, what I would like to do is to provide you is a visual timeline of the whole HDB transaction but unfortunately, I can't attach the PDF file here on this reply.

If you would like a copy of the visual timeline, do contact me at 90034385  or lynnong.huttons@gmail.com. I will drop a copy to your email / whatsapp for your visualisation.

Together with the PDF report, I would also provide you a customised home report for your property.

Pleased to Inform.

Yours Sincerely,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

It is important to prepare your house before you put it up on the market for sale. However, home makeover may not be the most effective way especially when you are currently residing there.

I have sold many homes at record high prices without the need for any make over. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and share with you more on my marketing plan and stratgies.

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.”

Hi,

Although a nice house would potentially attract Buyers and potentially get offers in more easily, it is not a guarantee that you will sell the house at a good price.

Whether or not you do makeover and homestage your house, depends on your family situation too. For example, if you have young children in the house, it may not make sense for you to stage the house as it will very soon be messed up again.

I have sold houses both with and without homestaging before, and I would like to understand more from you on your concerns first before I can make a more appropriate recommendation to you.

I am experienced and well-versed in HDB resale transactions. My area of focus is in Central/Queenstown/Bukit Merah/West region, and I am blessed to have transacted several "million-dollar" HDB flats over the past 1-2 years, with many others in the $900k+ range. The most recent flat I sold in Jurong East is an EA apartment in Toh Guan this year, achieved a good price without homestaging.

I will be able to assist you in finding the right buyer to pay the right price for your HDB flat. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion on the sale of your flat.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.
