Depth over breadth.
Trust over volume.
“I built EastCondos on one belief: that families deserve an advisor who knows their patch of Singapore inside out — and will tell them the truth, even when the truth is ‘not yet’.”
For thirteen years, I have helped Singapore families navigate the upgrade from HDB to condo. I chose to specialise in Districts 15, 16, and 18 because depth matters more than breadth. When you know every project, every street, every price movement — you spot opportunities others miss.
More importantly, you protect families from mistakes that take years to recover from. The eleven-factor model exists because two early clients in 2014 made decisions I could have prevented if I had been more disciplined. I have not made that mistake since.
This is the practice. Not a brokerage. Not a listings portal. A small, deliberately-sized advisory built around four documents, eleven factors, and one rule: the maths agrees with the family before any building is ever shown.
What this advisory believes, written down so you can hold us to it.
The model comes first.
No place is shown until your numbers have been run. Every time. The model is the condition, not the consequence.
Depth over breadth.
Five districts, not the whole island. We would rather know one street perfectly than fifty streets in passing.
The honest “no”.
If the answer is “not yet” or “not ever”, that is the answer. A lost sale is cheaper than a wrong buy.
Twelve factors, every time.
The 12-factor check is not something we use only sometimes. It runs on every place on your shortlist, full stop.
Referrals, not advertising.
Eight in ten of our clients come from past clients. We have never bought a lead. We never will.
Concurrent timelines.
Your HDB sale, your new keys, and your move are lined up so you never sit in a rental and never pay two home loans at once.
Five districts, known street by street — not the whole island in passing.
