What Can You Expect During a Property Consultation With Me?

I understand the feeling when talking to a salesperson. Sometimes we are so worried about meeting a pushy agent who is annoying and keeps trying to make a sale.

I can assure you I am not one of them.

Having being an active agent in this industry for more than a decade, I know that no one likes to be sold to.

However, I understand that you might have concerns and property-related questions that you need to seek clarification with.

You are welcome to ask me questions via WhatsApp if the questions are simple enough.

But if you are seeking for a more detailed discussion on what are the options that are open to you, then we can arrange a face-to-face no-obligation meeting.

Detailed Assessment

Buying or selling your property is an important life event for most of us (unless you are a seasoned investor).

If you’re embarking on this exercise, it would be important to engage the right advisor who can assist you.

Experience and service aside, having good rapport with your realtor can make the process so much more enjoyable and assuring for all parties involved.

Here is what you can expect on your first property consultation with me:

Consultation with First-Time buyer(s):

Detailed financial assessment of your funds available
Understanding your requirement(s) for your first property (HDB or Private)
Going through the different buying process for various property type or developments
Determining the grants HDB buyers are eligible for
Exploring potential options to buy (HDB resale / BTO/ EC or private new launch/ resale)

Consultation with HDB owner(s)

Initial assessment of your current flat’s value (estimate)
Going through the entire resale process and timeline
Evaluating suitability to sell or buy
Exploring next steps (i.e. buying/ renting/ upgrading/ down-sizing/ BTO/ EC)
Assessing your financials where necessary

Consultation with Private Property owner(s)

Providing an indicative valuation and of your properties and potential future growth
Going through the resale or new launch timeline
Evaluating suitability to sell or buy
Exploring next steps (i.e. buying / renting/ upgrading / down-sizing)

Consultation with Property Investor(s)

Assessing your property portfolio
Discussion of your goals or motivations
Exploring potential options

What Our Discussions Usually Reveal

Actually, there are many instances whereby I had to share with individuals or families that they are unfortunately not in a position to sell or buy at the present moment.

And how we can revisit should there be a change in their situation.

During the meeting, we explore what are your goals and discuss the steps on how you can reach there.

The aim of our discussion is to find a customized solution that is suitable for you.

However, in order to have a meaningful consultation session, I would need you to share these information before the meeting.

Financials: Monthly income, current CPF (Ordinary Account), excess funds for property purchase.

In-Principle Approval (IPA) for home loan, if available.

Any outstanding loan and/ or CPF used + accrued interest for any current properties

Location and type of property keen on: let me know if you’re keen on a specific area/ district (e.g. could also be near to a particular school) and the type of properties you feel may best suit your needs.

New or resale properties?

Current properties: Do provide your address or property type/ details owned

To be fair, the consultation session is not only an opportunity for you to find out more about the buying and selling process.

But it is also the time for you to determine if I’m suitable to help you on your journey to buy or sell.

If you are keen to explore, do call or WhatsApp me at +65 9628-5498.

Lydia has great work ethics, works really hard and always puts her clients first! That’s probably the reason for her consistent and overflowing source of referrals! If she’s chosen to work with you, good for you.

Lydia is very professional & knowledgeable in her field of work with lots of facts & figures to share with her clients. I believe that with her good salesmanship and vast experience it helped greatly in the sale of my property which she successfully sold in a very short period of time although the buying sentiment during that time was weak. The icing on the cake for us was that we also managed to sell at the price we wanted. All thanks to her! I will not hesitate to recommend anyone to engage her services! Two thumbs up from me!!!

I engaged Lydia in 2016 when I was looking for a public/HDB apartment near my parents’ place in Pasir Ris. She was highly recommended by a colleague who assured me that Lydia was a reliable and dedicated agent. At the time, Lydia was just starting to expand her coverage from private property to public housing, and told me upfront in our first phone conversation that I’d be her first client in the public housing market, and that she would be learning as we move along. In spite of this, I was happy to go with Lydia as it was more important to me that I can trust my agent, and she clearly knew what she was doing every step of the way even though it was her first time. As it was my first time looking for an apartment, I was clueless and Lydia was very helpful in providing suggestions based on her knowledge and research of the market, pricing, and location/suitable districts. Together we narrowed down the search to three districts based on my lifestyle, transportation options and commitments. Within two weeks, Lydia identified nine apartments that suited my very specific requirements. I settled on one that fitted all my requirements and Lydia coordinated the price negotiations, completed the paperwork promptly and proactively anticipated my needs and questions. In summary, Lydia is the best property agent one can ask for. I have recommended her services to five other friends and colleagues and all have told me she’s an exemplary agent — one that is a rarity in the market.

It is with great pleasure working with Lydia in my property matters. She is very professional, honest and reliable. She is always punctual and strives to deliver her best to her abilities. Lydia is friendly and personable, and has always taken time to listen, explain and make valuable suggestions. Lydia’s vast experience in property sales and management also proves valuable as reflected in her good foresight and her keen eye for things to look out for in a property. I will highly recommend Lydia to anyone who requires assistance with their property matters. Great working with you!

Lydia understands the pulse of the area in the east. She has the info on available units to recommend at all times. Often times there are units advertised on Property Guru but may not be available or may not meet requirements. Lydia takes time to understand needs and matches units accordingly. She has been extremely helpful in managing interactions. I would recommend reaching out to Lydia if you are looking for apartments. Over the many years in Singapore we have interacted with several agents but none like Lydia. She is by far the best.

Lydia is friendly, helpful and sincere throughout the process. I always have confidence to let her handle my property matters.
