SELL & RENT HDBS IN SENGKANG ESTATE
Sengkang (盛港), a vibrant new town in the northeast region of Singapore. Part of the North East CDC, it is well-connected by Sengkang MRT/LRT stations and major expressways like the TPE, KPE, and CTE.
Originally a fishing village, it has undergone rapid development since the 1990s to become one of the most populous areas in the region.
These are some of the HDB subzones in the Sengkang estate:
- Anchorvale
- Compassvale
- Fernvale
- Rivervale
- Sengkang West
Our flat also faces Paya Lebar Air Base, which allows us to see the military planes take off. The noise might be bothersome to some but we enjoy it.
My daughter is in absolute awe of the playgrounds our estate has, she has three playgrounds to choose from, and even one with an actual sand pit!

Jack is a straightforward guy who can lets me know if things can or cannot be done. He tries to do his best for both tenant and landlord so that we all meet middle ground. Thanks Jack!
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.
Jack was very helpful & responsive with the Singapore real estate questions that I had. It was a pleasure talking to him.
Let me start by saying Jack isn't a typical Singapore property agent. I didn't feel any pressure from him, which isn't typical of property agents. He's been very proactive & professional in assisting me with the sale & rental of my property. Always helpful with suggestions & advice that are backed up by sound analysis of the situation and the real estate market. I have full confidence recommending him to anyone in need of a property agent in Singapore.
I had the pleasure to work with Jack for rental of our home and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jack demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication and market knowledge. Jack took the time to understand our requirements ensuring that the tenant who viewed were good fit. He is always available to answer my doubts and questions, provide insights and offer invaluable advice. What truly set Jack apart was his commitment to making the process as smooth and stress free as possible. He handled all details in great care from arranging for viewings, negotiating term and finalizing the paper work. He also went the extra mile to help us tie up loose ends after we have left SG. I highly recommend Jack to anyone in need for a top notch real estate consultant/agent.
