Client reviews
What clients say
He went through complex financial calculations and analysis with me and my family, and eventually discouraged me from selling my HDB to upgrade to a condo as it was not financially prudent. I appreciate his honesty, as I think it is rare.
Jasmine Lim, upgrade planning
Throughout the entire process, he is very proficient in his calculation and very truthful in his advice, without fearing to burst the bubble for us. He tried a few times to pull us back from over-commitment on our next purchase.
Vincent Koh, sale and purchase
He prevented me from committing to a property introduced by another agent which was over my budget in terms of loan and cash. Thanks to him, I am able to accurately budget for my new home and renovation.
Jenny Wong, home purchase
About me
Hello, I am Ethan
I am a property consultant with PropNex Realty and have worked in the industry for over 12 years. Before that I was an auditor at KPMG and worked in compliance at American Express, which is why I check every figure before I advise.
I believe the best property decisions start with the full picture, so I begin with your goals and your numbers, and only then talk about homes. Sometimes my advice is to wait, and I will say so.

Common questions
How do I know what my home is worth?
I compare recent transactions of similar homes, adjust for condition, floor, facing and market timing, then agree a realistic price range with you before we list.
How much can I afford to borrow?
It depends on your income, existing commitments and the loan limits that apply to you. I work out the loan and the cash you need first, so your budget is clear before any viewing.
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your cash, loan and timeline. I map both side by side so you avoid paying two mortgages or having nowhere to live between homes.
Does it cost anything to speak with you?
No. The first conversation and my Essential Market Update are free and carry no obligation.
Will I be pressured to sign anything?
No. My job is to give you a clear, honest view. The decision, and the timing, stay with you.
Do I need to be ready to buy or sell to meet you?
Not at all. Many clients meet me while they are still exploring, and some decide to wait. That is a perfectly good outcome.
Which types of property do you handle?
HDB flats, condos and landed homes, whether you are buying, selling or planning your next step.
Can I work with you if I already have an agent?
If you have signed an exclusive agreement with another agent, it is best to honour it. Talk to me and I will explain where you stand and what your options are.
How long does a sale or purchase take?
It depends on the property and the market. I give you a realistic timeline at the start and update it as we go.
