kaylinpickles 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) hi guys, i'm new here...intending to sell my EA flat and hope to save on agent fees coz the amt. payable to them is really tremendous came across this site xxx.xxx.com, has anyone engaged their services b4? they claim to help owners sell their flats and the fees is just a flat rate of $450-$550 upon successful transaction of yr house. just like to find out how good it is, do they hv the database that the agents use coz if not many ppl advertise with diyHDB and they can't find that many ppl to view my house then its abit wasted. thx!

zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 DIYHDB, if I am not wrong, is just assisting you in the paperwork, ie contracts, doing due diligence on your buyer, apply for this and that, etc. The value of a housing agent is to market your property (advertise in classified, do legwork for viewing, etc), find a buyer for you and negotiate on the price, etc. All these are NOT done by DIYHDB, but by yourself. Paperwork-wise, HDB had already streamlined alot of things and their procedures are quite straightforward. Most educated people should be able to do it, but just a matter of whether you want to take the effort or not. Just attend the HDB resale seminar, read HDB website and you will know. If you are already marketing the property yourself (which is the MOST work already), why not just do the paperwork yourself too?? To pay someone $450 - $550 to do such paperwork is expensive if you ask me. So IMO, if want to save up on commission, then might as well do everything yourself.
