As we are associated with the Expat Singapore website, we will ensure your interests are looked after, and that your housing needs are best met. Tell us when you are arriving, when you'd like to view or rent the property, your budget as well as what you'd like - house versus apartment, number of rooms, facilities, preferred location, etc - and leave the rest to us. Our associates, prequalified real estate agents, will be in touch with you directly once initial contact has been made. For monthly rentals above S$2500.00 on a two year lease or above S$5000 on a one year lease, there is no charge for services. Otherwise the agency fee payable by the tenant to the real estate agent is 2 weeks' rent.
