About

Hi, I’m Nik!

I’m a property agent with PropNex, and I’ve been in the industry since 2022. I help people buy, sell, invest in and rent out property.

I read the fine print so you don’t get caught by it.

I graduated with First Class Honours from NUS Business, specialising in Finance, and work in the compliance and regulatory function of a global fintech company. Understanding processes and regulations closely, ensuring I get the details right, is how I’ve been trained to work.

I bring that same habit to property, and I negotiate hard for the best outcome I can get you.

I’m not a lawyer. When something needs legal advice, I’ll flag it and bring in your conveyancing lawyer.

How I can help

First-time home buyers

“I don’t know what I don’t know, and this is the biggest purchase of my life.”

  • Your options compared: resale HDB, resale condos and new launches
  • What you can truly afford, including the cash and CPF needed upfront
  • HDB and bank loan options, grants, and how much CPF to use
  • How today’s choice affects your next move, including lease decay
  • A primer on the market: how viewings work and what to look out for
  • What a fair offer looks like, and the valuation risk behind it
  • A step-by-step walkthrough from Option to Purchase to key collection

Start with your loan limitOr work out your costs

Home sellers who are upgrading

“If I sell first, where do I live? If I buy first, can I afford it?”

  • A sell-first or buy-first plan, with the risks of each laid out
  • Your take-home after the loan, CPF refund and fees, and the capital your next home needs
  • A price backed by recent sales, not a high quote just to win your listing
  • Marketing that does the work: staging advice, listings, home tour videos and a pitch deck for buyers
  • Organised viewings and open houses, with serious buyers checked early
  • Timelines managed across both transactions, aligned with your banks and lawyers

Start with an HDB valuationOr work out your sale proceeds

New launch buyers and investors

“Is this really a good buy, or is it just sales hype?”

  • This launch compared with nearby resale and other launches, using real numbers
  • Whether the entry price makes sense, and which units or stacks are better value
  • Your cash flow through progressive payments during construction
  • Who your likely next buyer is, plus future supply in the area
  • Realistic rental yield, holding costs and stamp duty for investors
  • A shortlist and backups before launch day, then support through to key collection

If the numbers don’t work for you, I’ll say so.

Landlords

“I want to maximise my rental yield, but don’t want a bad tenant or a damaged home.”

  • Rent priced from actual rental data, not asking rents
  • Listings and viewings arranged to keep your vacancy short
  • Finding and screening tenants before you commit
  • Tenancy terms reviewed, including repairs, the deposit and early termination
  • A photo-based inventory at handover and takeover, so disputes are easier to settle

How working with me goes

  1. Tell me where you are

    WhatsApp me your situation and your plans. There’s no need to have it all figured out.

  2. We go through the numbers

    You see what’s possible and what each option costs.

  3. We agree on a plan

    Your options, your timeline and the next steps, all clear before anything moves.

  4. I see it through

    From the first viewing to the final handover, I keep each step moving and each party aligned.
