FIND A TENANT IN SINGAPORE

Are you looking to find a tenant for your residential property in Singapore?

Let me walk you through the 4-step process of engaging my services and what you can expect.

  • Please note that I don’t handle Singapore room rentals or overseas property rentals.

1) THE “READY TENANT” QUESTION

Do you have ready tenants?

Landlord

One of the most common questions from landlords (contacting me for the first time) is whether I have “ready tenants” for their property.

Let me give you some context.

Some property agents in Singapore focus solely on helping tenants find suitable properties, often through agreements with corporate HR departments. 

We call them tenant-based agents.

While these agents may have “ready tenants”, there’s no guarantee that your property will meet their specific requirements. More often than not, it’s a mismatch.

I’m not a tenant-based agent.

Although I help tenants on and off when my schedule allows, helping them search for rental properties isn’t my core business. 

I’m a landlord-based agent. In the rental part of my real estate work, I help my landlords find suitable tenants.

I won’t have a ready tenant for these landlords 99% of the time. 

If there isn’t a “ready tenant” for your property, don’t worry. 

Most of the tenanted properties in the market weren’t rented out to “ready tenants”.

We will implement an active marketing strategy to attract prospective tenants and agents.

  • advertising on paid property portals
  • setting up 360 degrees virtual tours (when applicable)
  • outreach to tenant-based agents

This proven process will make tenants & other property agents come calling.

This approach is far more effective than calling agents individually to ask if they have “ready tenants”.

Jack provided exceptional service in renting out our home.

His professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication were outstanding.

He understood our needs, handled all aspects expertly, and went above and beyond even after we left SG.

Highly recommended for top-notch real estate assistance!

2) PROPERTY VISIT & ASSESSMENT

I’ll arrange a convenient time to visit the property and assess its current state. 

It also helps me to describe the property accurately to interested tenants.

(a) What are the factors that will affect the rental price?

  • Singapore’s current rental market conditions & the competition
  • The condition & appeal of your property
  • The location & accessibility
  • Built-in furniture (better not to have) & furnishings

I’ll conduct a rental market analysis and provide a competitive rental price estimate that will help attract tenants.

(b) What kind of improvements?

It depends on the current state of your property. These are some of the most common improvements:

  • fresh coat of paint
  • regrouting the bathroom
  • changing out rusted fixtures

I’ll take photos once your property is ready and market the unit.

  • Should you furnish the unit before marketing the unit for rental?

Not necessary. Let’s wait and see if the tenant requires furnishing.

As a non-resident landlord, Jack has been an invaluable partner for nearly a decade.

He provides comprehensive property management, is reliable, always v.responsive & extremely helpful.

Highly recommended!

3) TENANT EVALUATION & NEGOTIATION

Throughout the marketing process, I’ll do my best to assess if the tenant will make a good tenant – the way they communicate, the vibe they give and online references.

To me, a good tenant is:

  • fair & reasonable
  • prompt with rental payment
  • helpful with viewing requests
  • responsible & takes care of the unit

However, my assessment can only be confirmed when the tenant starts the lease. The final confirmation happens only when the tenant returns the unit at the end of the lease.

When an acceptable offer is received, I’ll assist you in negotiating the terms of the tenancy agreement. I will also carry out due diligence checks on their immigration passes to ensure everything is proper at the same time.

Once the agreement is signed and the necessary payment is made, we’ll address tenant requests, prepare the inventory list, and arrange the unit handover.

  • Do you need to be present during the handover?

That’s entirely up to you. 99% of my landlords don’t show up during the handover. 

Why?

I’ll tell you when we meet.

Jack is very professional & efficient in his real estate work.

Someone I can safely rely on to handle my Singapore properties.

4) OUR PARTNERSHIP

As your property agent, I view our relationship as a partnership built on trust, fairness, and open communication.

Unfortunately, I’ve encountered some landlords who purposely exploit their tenants through unreasonable practices, such as making the tenant pay for things when it is the landlord’s responsibility to do so.

Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you.

Confucius

Taking advantage of others goes against my values and is unacceptable to me. It would be a lot easier for us to work together if our values were aligned.

If you’re ready to find a tenant for your Singapore property and feel we are a good match, contact me today for a free consultation or to get started on securing your next tenant.

P.S. Looking to sell your Singapore property or buy instead? I can help, too! Curious to know where I’ve transacted?

I have recently relocated to Singapore and have been very fortunate to employ Jack’s help in securing a rental property. He has been an absolute star and is ever so helpful. His replies are prompt and attention to detail is excellent. I have only managed to come to Singapore for a couple of days and we managed to view more than 10 properties with his help. He still kept me up to date after the contract was signed. Til to date, Jack still keeps in touch about issues regarding the property. I cannot recommend him enough and would urge anyone looking for a property in Singapore to get in touch with Jack

From our first meeting, Jack's knowledge and professionalism stood out. He has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease. Talking with him felt like discussing my property with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely cared about my needs. His insights were valuable, and I appreciated that he never pressured me. Throughout the entire selling process, Jack was an invaluable guide. He patiently walked me through each step, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a manageable journey. When he learned I was overwhelmed with work, he even arranged for my furniture disposal. A gesture that genuinely touched me. Reading other reviews, I see that my positive experience isn't unique. Jack consistently delivers excellent service to his clients. I'm so thankful for my smooth and positive property sale experience. Jack, you're truly exceptional at what you do.
