Who we help
- HDB upgraders. Sell your flat and buy your next home in the right order, with the bridging loan, CPF refund and stamp duties worked out first. See selling an HDB flat.
- New launch and EC buyers. We compare the launch with resale options using our L.E.X method before you book a unit. See buying a new launch.
- Condo and landed buyers and sellers. Pricing from recent transactions, marketing, negotiation and the paperwork, from the OTP to completion. See buying a resale private property and selling a private property.
- Retirees and right-sizers. Unlocking value from your home without putting your retirement at risk. See retirement planning.
- Landlords and tenants. See renting and property management.
How we think about every move
Every client starts with the same question: what is this property for? A family home, an upgrade, rental income or retirement each lead to a different plan. Once that is clear, we work out the numbers before any viewing, so you only look at homes you can comfortably afford, and you know how you would exit before you buy. We call this our W.A.T.E.R method.
Check us before you appoint us
Every property agent in Singapore must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA). You can check us on the CEA Public Register by name or registration number.
- David Ho, Senior Division Director, ERA Realty Network. CEA registration no. R027577A. ERA profile, transaction record on SRX and 99.co profile.
- Audrie Poh, Division Director, ERA Realty Network. CEA registration no. R060879G. PropertyGuru profile, 99.co profile and PropKaki profile.
We work under ERA Realty Network Pte Ltd (licence L3002382K). Agreements are on CEA's prescribed estate agency forms, and transaction monies are paid to the right party directly, never to us.
Our office is at 450 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, Singapore 319394. You can also find us as David & Audrie Properties on Google.
What clients have said
"If you need property agents who truly care, look no further than David & Audrie Properties. Their professionalism is top-notch, but what stood out most to me was their friendliness. They never once made me feel rushed, even though I had endless questions for them." (Google review)
We're rated 5.0 from 9 Google reviews, as at 18 October 2026. Read our Google reviews.
One couple came to us while still living in their 4-room HDB flat, hoping to upgrade to an EC. Before any viewing, we worked through their numbers together and proposed the Deferred Payment Scheme, which suited their cash flow. They bought at North Gaia, and we planned the sale of their flat around the EC's timeline, so they moved into their new home without the usual scramble.
Another family owned a fully paid 4-room flat in Kallang. When we worked through their sums, we found one of them had no property in their name, which opened up an option they hadn't considered. They bought a freehold new launch near their daughter's school and kept their HDB flat, which now brings in rental income.
Looking for the best property agent in Singapore?
You'll see plenty of agents call themselves the best. We won't: CEA's rules don't allow unsupported claims like that, and you shouldn't take any agent's word for it. A better test is what an agent can show you: their CEA registration, their recent transactions in your type of property, and how clearly they explain the numbers before you sign.
We've written a guide to choosing a property agent in Singapore with the seven checks we'd run ourselves. We're happy for you to run every one of them on us.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a property agent is registered in Singapore?
Search the CEA Public Register by the agent's name, registration number or mobile number. Our registration numbers are R027577A (David Ho) and R060879G (Audrie Poh).
How much commission does a property agent charge in Singapore?
There is no fixed rate. CEA does not regulate commission, so it is agreed between you and the agency and written into the prescribed estate agency agreement. Ask whether GST is included, and pay the agency, not the agent.
Do you handle HDB flats, condos, landed homes and new launches?
Yes. We help clients buy and sell HDB flats, condos and landed homes, buy new launches and executive condominiums, and rent out their property.
Can you help me sell my HDB flat and buy a condo at the same time?
Yes, and many of our clients are doing exactly that. We plan the order, the timing, the bridging loan and the stamp duties, so you don't get caught between two homes.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Our first consultation is complimentary, and there is no obligation to appoint us.
