My story
A strategist first.
A salesperson never.
I bought my first home in 2021, and I wish someone had shown me years earlier that I could afford to own instead of rent.
I rented private residential for eight years. In all that time, not one agent sat me down and ran the numbers with me. So I ran them myself: price trends, growth, what I could actually afford. It changed everything for my family.
That is why I do this work. Too many Singaporeans assume they need a million dollars in cash to own a home. Most of them do not. What they need is someone who will map the numbers honestly, and tell them when the answer is to stay put.
Before property, I spent 15 years building a wedding photography company, which I still run today. Guiding couples through the biggest day of their lives taught me how to guide families through the biggest purchase of theirs, with patience and a long view.
