House Hunt with the 5 Best Real Estate Agencies in Singapore
I’ve spoken to enough property agencies in the Lion City to know that not all of them are worth your WhatsApp storage. Some are sharp, honest, and properly plugged into the market, while others make simple viewing rife with drama.
That’s why I pulled together the best real estate agencies in Singapore that are worth shortlisting, whether you’re buying, selling, renting, or scouting for commercial space. Because when it comes to real estate, it’s not about who talks the fastest at a condo launch!
How much does a real estate agency charge in Singapore?
In Singapore, real estate agency fees aren’t fixed, so commissions are negotiable and should be agreed on before anything starts. They must be stated in the state agency agreement, and payment is usually made only after the deal is completed.
In general, sellers and landlords are more likely to pay commission, while buyers and tenants may pay only if they hire their own agent. Exact rates vary by deal, so the smart move is to compare agencies, ask what services are included, and check whether GST applies.
1. Eddy Wong Real Estate Consultant
Address: Blk 67 Lor 40 Geylang
Contact: +6590281686
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 AM–6.30 PM
My parents-in-law asked me to help sell their condo, so I looked past the glossy agent selfies and went straight for the track record.
Eddy Wong stood out for being CEA-registered, carrying a 5.0 rating on PropertyGuru, and working under SN Real Estate rather than one of the giant, logo-everywhere agencies.
We liked how the agent doesn’t look boxed into just one niche, because his active listings cut across residential and industrial stock. That flexibility helped when we wanted someone who could price a condo sensibly by reading the market.
For a sale like this, my parents-in-law and I would rate Eddy Wong as fair value if you want a smaller firm feel with active listings and visible market presence. His agency would be especially attractive to those who prefer hands-on support.
It helps that he markets himself as someone who moves clients toward their property goals smoothly, so I would shortlist him for owners who want a responsive consultant to guide viewings, negotiation, documents, and the usual legal coordination points.
The main catch is scale. If you specifically want a massive agency with a huge lender panel-style reach, a giant in-house marketing machine, or a list of condo sales under a well-known brand name, this agency may feel more boutique than blockbuster.
His advice was always on point
Eddy is a true professional in every sense. His advice was always on point, and his dedication to providing great service was clear from the start. He is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and just a friendly person to deal with day-to-day. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend his services.

2. Vesper Homes
Address: 88 Club St
Contact: +6594898656
Hours:
Monday to Friday, 9 AM–6 PM
Saturday, 9 AM–5 PM
My young colleague was buying his first home, so he needed more than a stack of random listings. Vesper Homes impressed him because they openly use data-driven shortlisting to match buyers with homes that actually fit.
Since he’s not a fan of spending weekends touring dozens of no-go’s, he immediately liked this agency. It’s clearly a CEA-licensed boutique agency established in 2019, and is built around a smaller, more hands-on team.
They can help guide first-time buyers like him through negotiation, viewings, documentation, and completion. He told me it was the kind of paperwork and legal coordination support that stopped his first purchase from becoming a panic attack.
While Vesper doesn’t publish a standard fee sheet, my colleague said their mix of advisory support, tailored search, and follow-through makes them a sensible shortlist for buyers who want proper guidance.
Pricing-wise, though, they’re a fair bet if you value service over bargain-bin agenting. Singapore commissions are negotiable, anyway.
But because they’re a boutique firm, buyers who prefer the biggest possible agency network or a flashy big-brand machine may need a larger player instead.
Cyril and his team are trustworthy, reliable
Before moving to Singapore, I asked a few friends and colleagues for agent recommendations. A trusted colleague shared that he had worked with Vesper for three separate moves, which gave me confidence to reach out. I’m very glad I did. Cyril and his team are trustworthy, reliable, and highly experienced. They were patient and accommodating throughout the process, but most importantly, I trusted their advice and judgment. I will continue to work with Vesper and would strongly recommend them to anyone relocating to Singapore, particularly fellow expats.

They found us our ideal residence quickly
Amanda, Cyril and the rest of the team have been fantastic to deal with from the onset. They found us our ideal residence quickly and made the entire process super smooth. We couldn’t be happier with the service, and although we never want to leave our current house. If we ever did, we wouldn’t consider using anyone else.

3. Or Jia En Property
Address: PropNex Realty, 480 Lor 6 Toa Payoh, #18-01 East Wing
Contact: +6594314533
Hours: Open 24 hours
After getting frustrated with so many suspicious tenants with good lighting in their profile photos, my sister finally admitted she needed help getting quality renters for her property.
Enter Or Jia En Property, a CEA-registered, PropNex agency with a clean, reassuring trail of reviews and recent transactions, and she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She said that with them, she felt she wasn’t guessing her way through the market.
Jia En’s profile leans hard on data-backed advice, bilingual service, and rental strategy. It’s the sort of calm competence my sister wanted when her property’s on the line.
She also has the backing of a larger agency, so it’s not a tiny one-woman setup running on good vibes and a cute ring light. PropNex’s scale gives her more marketing reach, while her own record across landlord, tenant, buyer, and seller clients makes her more hands-on.
My sister found her pricing fair, as she’s built for end-to-end support. She had help with viewings, negotiation, paperwork, and legal coordination instead of vanishing once a tenant says “can!”.
However, her profile also covers sales, new launches, and rental work, so landlords wanting a pure rental-only specialist may want to ask how much of her current business is focused on leasing.
Jia En, my property agent, helped me find quality tenants for my room rental
Excellent service from start to finish! Jia En, my property agent, helped me find quality tenants for my room rental and made the entire process seamless. She went above and beyond with after-sales support, including handling all the documentation and stamp duty submissions with the relevant authorities. Her professionalism and attention to detail made everything so much easier. Highly recommend her services!

Jia En handled everything from advertising to tenant screening
A friend of mine recommended Jia En to me when I was looking for a trustworthy agent to help rent out my new condo. Love the fact that I didn’t have much to do. Jia En handled everything from advertising to tenant screening and paperwork with true professionalism! Managed to rent out in a very short period of time at a decent market rate. Overall, a fuss-free experience with her, highly recommended to anyone looking for property advice.

4. Pinnacle Estate Agency
Address: 401 Sin Ming Ave
Contact: +6598760972
Hours: Daily, 9 AM–9 PM
My best pal wanted to deal only with an award-winning real estate agency in Singapore, so he skipped the property fluff and went straight for proof.
Pinnacle immediately made it to his shortlist because its KEO, Sumtro Ong, is the recipient of the national-level Gold SG Real Estate Agents Excellence Award. He also has more than 10 years of experience and a Real Estate degree from NUS.
He likes that Pinnacle isn’t a giant property factory pretending to be personal. It’s a smaller, more boutique agency, and the firm aims for every client to be personally served by the KEO.
My friend said it has a more hands-on feel than the usual big-brand baton passing, which he hated. They also bring in genuinely useful extras instead of just tossing a listing online and hoping for divine intervention.
The agency includes in-house 3D virtual tours, professional photos and videos, premium listing placement, free valuation, and access to a co-broking network of more than 30,000 agents. The marketing side looks strong, and the pricing feels fair when those tools are part of the package.
But because the agency is tied to one award-winning KEO, clients who want a huge bench of agents should still ask upfront how capacity, fees, and timelines are handled.
He was never pushy but always patient
Sumitro is an excellent and trustworthy agent. He is very responsive and takes great care and thought into the sale of my unit. His experience in this line showed through his attentions to details and timely advice, yet he was never pushy but always patient and accommodating to your needs. I would recommend everyone to engage his service.

He is very responsive and effective in looking for prospective tenants
Sumitro has been my housing agent for more than 3.5 years. I greatly appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail, and thoroughness in his service support. He is very responsive and effective in looking for prospective tenants, seeing to the follow-up matters and handling each viewing with close attention, keeping me duly updated and seeking clarification where necessary, to achieve our aim of looking for the most appropriate tenant. I am most happy to engage his service.

5. Singhousepro
Address: 3 Bishan Place 05-01 CPF Bishan Building
Contact: +6596418798
Hours: Open 24 hours
My kid brother is fussy about condos, and honestly, I get it. Singhousepro caught his eye because it’s positioned as a Singapore property guide with a broad listings database, with access to the latest condominiums, plus advice on buying, selling, and renting.
Julian Li, the dude behind it, is not a giant agency machine with ten layers of handoffs. Singhousepro is a good fit for buyers like my brother who need someone who knows the difference between different layouts, stacks, balcony units, and oddball condo configurations.
He also offers housing loan advisory, property investment consultation, asset progression help, and guidance through legal ways around ABSD issues. My brother said it feels more hands-on for paperwork-heavy deals and coordination.
He recommends this agency to other condo buyers who want a detail-obsessed, boutique-feel consultant rather than a giant-brand conveyor belt.
The main downside is the absence of a public fee sheet. There’s also no verified published average for days on market, so I would ask direct questions about commissions and condo transaction timelines before signing anything.
Julian is a very professional and efficient agent
Julian is a very professional and efficient agent. He has more than enough knowledge about his work, so he gave me a lot of useful advice when I bought the house. He is friendly and helpful as well. He explained to me the details of the process and answered my questions with a lot of patience. He is really responsive, also always reminds me of what I need to do on time. So highly recommended.

He was prompt in making arrangements for the sale
Julian was a great agent in helping me sell my house. He was prompt in making arrangements for the sale and provided detailed and clear explanations to the questions I had about the process. He also provided great support and advice in my own process of buying property. I highly recommend his services
