Sell & Rent Sembawang HDB flats

SELL & RENT HDBS IN SEMBAWANG ESTATE

Sembawang (三巴旺), located in the northern region of Singapore, carries a rich naval heritage. Part of the North West CDC, it is served by Sembawang MRT station on the North-South Line and has good connectivity via the SLE and upcoming North-South Corridor.

Once considered remote (heard of the term, ulu Sembawang?), Sembawang has seen significant development in recent years, with its HDB resale prices rising faster than any other neighbourhood in Singapore (2019-Q1 to 2023-Q4).

With its mix of new and mature HDB flats, proximity to amenities, and ongoing infrastructure improvements, Sembawang has become an increasingly attractive option for those looking to buy or rent HDB flats in Singapore

These are some of the HDB subzones in the Sembawang estate:

  • Admiralty
  • Sembawang Central
  • Sembawang East
  • Sembawang North

When the big ships come in, they open up the dry dock. The ship will come in and they will close it back. The water will go off but the fish that come in cannot go out.

So the whole dock is full of fish and people are just going down and collecting the fish. People were very good in the sense that not everybody worked in the dry dock, you see.

So those who were there would take [fish] and share with all the workers. So when the big ships come, it’s like a party, a carnival in the base, everybody having fresh fish.

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

I’m writing this review to express my gratitude to Jack, who helped me enjoy a stable life in Singapore for the past year and a half. When I first arrived in Singapore and felt overwhelmed, Jack introduced me to a great place to live. From the contract signing to the time I spent there, and even after the lease ended, he provided consistent care and support. Thanks to him, I was able to stay in a nice home and live comfortably in Singapore for a year and a half. I truly appreciate his kind help throughout my journey in Singapore, and I highly recommend Jack to everyone.

We first met Jack Sheo of PropNex Realty when we came across a private property listing in which we were very interested. From our first meeting, we were impressed by his professionalism, market knowledge, and genuine approach. At the time, we were considering selling my current HDB home and purchasing a private property and after that initial conversation, I felt confident engaging him to guide me through the entire process. Working with Jack was a smooth and reassuring experience from start to finish. He took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and timeline, and tailored his strategy accordingly. On the selling side, he helped stage and market my home effectively, generating strong interest and securing a great offer within a super short period. On the buying side, he was equally diligent, patiently offering valuable insights, and ultimately helping me secure that property that matched what I was looking for—both in value and lifestyle. What really stood out about Jack was his responsiveness, honesty, and ability to anticipate and solve problems before they became issues. He handled the paperwork, coordinated with all the relevant parties, and kept me informed every step of the way. This made a potentially stressful process feel much more manageable and even enjoyable. We highly recommend Jack to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. His experience, dedication, and client-first attitude truly make a difference.

I'm truly grateful for my experience working with Jack Sheo. I found his website while searching for a Singapore property agent to help sell my property, and I couldn't have made a better choice. 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. Thank you for making this process so much easier and more pleasant than I ever expected. If you're in need of a property agent in Singapore, I wholeheartedly recommend Jack Sheo. His dedication and expertise made all the difference in my experience, and I'm confident he'll do the same for you.
