The vast majority (more than 80%) of Singaporeans live in public housing. These homes are located in housing estates, where most are developed neighbourhoods with schools, supermarkets, clinics, food centres and recreational facilities. Popular neighborhood estates include names like Ang Mo Kio Town, Toa Payoh, Clementi, Yishun, Bishan, Hougang, Simei, Woodlands, Punggol, Bukit Batok,Tampines and others to the name. In short, they are called HDB.
Owning a home, a property in these places is a satisfaction. However, a buyer must consider factors before buying properties. It is the decision of the buyer to engage with real estate agents to handle transactions. Advantages of hiring the best real estate agents depend on its accreditation. STAR PROjECT is a member of The Singapore Accredited Estate Agencies (SAEA) Scheme was introduced in November 2005 to ensure that accredited agencies and agents are competent and proficient in their field, and are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skill to give advice and carry out property transactions and deals.
The scheme was initiated by the Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers and the Institute of Estate Agents and is supported by the Ministry of Finance, the Housing Development Board and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.
Individual agents must either have a degree or diploma in real estate studies, or passed a professional examination called the Common Examination for House Agents (CEHA).
And STAR PROjECT also possess a valid house agent’s licence issued by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.
Aside from availing themselves to professional advice, clients of accredited agents will also have an avenue for dispute resolution (at the SISV Mediation Centre) should they encounter problems during transactions.
