My Journey

From Finance to Real Estate: My Personal Story

My journey in real estate began in 2010, when I was working in the financial sector and purchased my first property—a modest 2-bedroom apartment in Tanjong Pagar. What started as a personal investment soon blossomed into a passion for real estate.

After experiencing both the challenges and rewards of property investment firsthand, I decided to transition from my banking career to help others navigate Singapore's complex property market with confidence and clarity.

Today, with over 8 years as a licensed property agent, I've helped hundreds of clients find their dream homes and build successful investment portfolios. My background in finance combined with my personal investment experience gives me a unique perspective that benefits my clients in numerous ways.
