Sp4wn Turbocharged September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 (edited) place an ad in the newspaper (classifieds) under property for sale. if you die die don't want to work with agents, put "no agents please" (I would advise against this though, in my experience, 99% of my deals are because of introductions to buyers via agents - just factor in the 1% cost lah) i suppose if you are looking for an online portal, you can try edit: hmmm the link was removed. go to 99.co Edited September 23, 2015 by Sp4wn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp4wn Turbocharged September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 actually worth it mah... 1% = $10000 per million leh 4M private property can save $40000. enough to DP a new car liaoz. lol in the last 6 years, i have advertised a few hundred times in the newspaper ... never had a direct buyer come through (even for small properties). always agents calling and then they swing their clients by. good thing about having an agent in between means more wiggle room for negotiation. by the time the buyer convey the message to the agent who will convey to me, i have time to strategize ;) but to each his own of course ... i am just an employee so my stake is not that much just giving my $0.02 on why the agents are more useful than it seems. recently was trying to buy 1 commercial property and the guy was insisting on no agents. his ad said very clearly. more than 1 year later, he couldnt sell and now i started to see agents advertise. selling direct is not so easy. sorry to say, you need someone 'slick' in between to convince both parties to come to agreement. agents know the seller is buttering their bread, so they have to try their best to make it work 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 what is the market rate now? is it 1% or 2%? Standard rate I believe is 2% but most are happy to settle for 1% Let these guys make a living and do some work for u I am not a property agent btw 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyfitms Twincharged September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 yes yes please give agent a chance another way is to find an agent friend or relative (almost everyone knows at least 1 agent right?? LOL) ask him or her to help u advertise for free lah i have helped some friends to advertise for free cos i cannot finish up the credits. But of course they would have to do all the leg work, paper work etc by themselves 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdsea 3rd Gear September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 Sold my HDB flat myself some years back and it was quite easy and straightforward. In fact, at the time the HDB even arranged weekend seminars to advise people who wished to do the process themselves. My advice. 1) If you do not like nuisance / speculative calls then do not use your regular phone number. Buy a pre-paid SIM for the duration of the transaction and then cancel it. 2) Do not rule out agents, just let them know you will pay them the usual co-broke commission if they bring you a successful buyer, ie, 0.5%. This will give you access to a much wider pool of buyers as there are plenty of people that are too lazy to do their own research but just sit and wait to look at whatever their agent shows them. Of course if you find a buyer that responds direct then you can still avoid paying any commission.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 what is the market rate now? is it 1% or 2%? For me it has always been 0.5% I hv sold several on my own. Be sharp be decisive Dont be emotional personal nor sentimental Of course i pick the best time to sell ie when everyone wants to buy. Now just be ready to cut your price to push out the property. Reality bites 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 thanks. May I ask where do you advertise your past properties?? Word of mouth. Whoever brings me a buyer that deals, i pay 0.5%. In other words, i do the pitch myself. Buyer gets to talk directly and nego directly with me the owner/seller. No bulls**t no fuss, no beating around the bush Price is very reasonable and at market, no shadowing. True Genuine buyers like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
