Your Agent-Guided Upgrade Journey
□
Week 1–2
Home Valuation & Financial Planning
Agent conducts a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for your current home. We review your CPF, outstanding loan, ABSD exposure, and purchase eligibility together. No surprises later.

Listing Strategy & Buyer Outreach
Professional photography, staging advice, targeted marketing across portals and agent networks. Co-broke outreach to maximise qualified buyer eyeballs quickly.
□
Week 3–8
Parallel Property Search for Upgrade
While your current home is being marketed, we simultaneously shortlist and view your target properties — so you're ready to commit the moment your sale closes. Critical for timing.
□
Week 6–10
Negotiation & OTP Coordination
Agent negotiates both the sale and purchase simultaneously. We structure OTP timelines and extension clauses to ensure you don't end up homeless or double-paying. Legally reviewed before signing.
✅
Week 12–16
Completion & Handover
Agent coordinates with lawyers, HDB/URA, CPF Board and banks to ensure smooth simultaneous completion. We're present at key collection and defects walkthrough for your new home.
