The Narrow Path
I’ve seen flats in all kinds of conditions.
Dirty. Neglected. Mid-renovation. Stripped bare.
But I had never walked into something like this.

Reading a fellow agent’s blog years ago was what nudged me into this field.
And somewhere along the way, I realised I’d been quietly accumulating stories of my own.
This is where I document them: the transactions, the negotiations, the people, and the occasional curveball that Singapore’s property market throws your way.
Less a how-to guide, more a practitioner’s journal.

I’ve seen flats in all kinds of conditions.
Dirty. Neglected. Mid-renovation. Stripped bare.
But I had never walked into something like this.
She reached across the table and picked up the bottle of water on my side.
I was mid-sentence, explaining the paperwork. She was listening.
And without breaking her attention, she uncapped the bottle and poured water into my empty cup.
The buyer called me after he collected the keys.
He had gone to the flat for the first time as the new owner. To walk the rooms. To start imagining what comes next.
I’m not new to estate sales in Singapore.
But this is the 1st time I handled 3 in a single year. A 4th is on the way.
Each taught me something different.
Within minutes of receiving Marie’s renewal offer, the landlady called me.
‘She’s trying to lowball me. Ask her to move out. Anyone but her.’
During my family’s recent year-end trip to Kyushu, we encountered two unexpected situations on the same day.
These moments reminded me of important life lessons — ones that feel relevant for all of us.
Two investment properties.
Two very different strategies.
With $2m to invest in a Singapore residential property, which would you choose?
Selling a property can be a challenging and emotional process, especially when the clients are going through a divorce.
As a property agent, I’ve had the privilege of assisting divorced couples in selling their homes, and each experience has imparted valuable lessons.
Over the years, I’ve encountered many homebuyers & investors whose number one criterion for buying or investing in a private property is FREEHOLD.
Regardless of the reason they wanted to buy a property, they weren’t interested at all if the property wasn’t freehold.
