Hi everyone I am the real estate guy in Singapore. I do not see myself selling properties to people. Rather, I listen to the needs and wants of my clients. Not everyone has the same need or want. Young couples aspire to get their new homes but are in a dilemma whether they should get BTO, resales HDB or even Executive Condominiums. They are always at a loss because as this is their first home so they will be extremely careful with their choice, yet often than not, they need genuine real estate advice as to what is their best choice given their current situation. I have joined this forum to know the needs of people while they are planning to buy a property.

Here are some of the projects by SP SETIA In Johor Properties Here: http://www.cascadia.com.my/ http://www.setiaecogardens.com.my/property.aspx http://www.setiatropika.com.my/ http://www.spsetia.com/en-us/ Anymore list you guys wanna add?

The experts have said that 3-month Sibor will continue to increase until 1.75 per cent in a year's time. I'm still within a lock-in period with my current mortgage loan, but I'm afraid I don't refinance now, I may stand to lose more in the LT. Would you pay the penalty fee and refinance now?

Been through afew and it seems they're all out to rip me off haha. Looking for a 2-floor house, preferrably 4 rooms, executive. If anyone had a good experience with theirs, kindly share. Abit skeptical at this point.

Hi All, Above is total a time consuming action required from hectic working adults like us. However we tend to rather absorb this additional task to our already stressful life in turn to save $ to engage the subject matter experts thinking we rather save the money for other things which need to be purchase upon getting keys! Now my question to you all out there is, how many have you all tried to do this on your own and yet realised there was oversight/overlooked detailed things due to lack experience and ended up paying more after the warranty period to get the renovation company to resolve your issues???????????????????? Would you have engaged the service before after going through the difficulties for NOT engaging one after your key collection and rushed into staring the RENO works???? Some defects list can go up to 80+ defects. Should one consider this a little investment for the long run? Defects here can be so detailed that we can realise them only after moving into your new home during rainy weathers such as where the floor leveling problem surfaces for an instance.
