Hi, I’m Zack — a real estate advisor and investor. I believe that when done right, real estate has the power to change the trajectory of someone’s life
Whether it’s your first purchase or your next move, every step should be made in a safe and predictable way. I don’t claim to predict the future — no one can, but with a logical framework coupled with data-driven insights, you can move forward with clarity and confidently — without second-guessing your decisions. Read more about me.
For brand-new launches, developers set a 7–10 day preview period for buyers to view the showflat and project details. About a week later is Booking Day, where either balloting (queue system) or placement (first-come, first-served) is used.
For a new launch, the minimum downpayment is 20% — 5% (cash) and 15% (cash/CPF). You’ll also need to set aside Buyer’s Stamp Duty, payable within 14 days of exercising the Option.
The Progressive Payment Scheme applies only to brand-new launches. Beyond the first 20% downpayment, the rest is paid in stages as the construction progresses — so you don’t start servicing the full loan until the project is nearly complete.
For brand-new launches, price lists are not released until the day of booking — even during the preview. That’s why it’s advisable to consult before the launch, so you’ll have a clear idea if the project is within reach and what the sweet entry price should be — backed by data-driven analysis.
Yes, but you’ll need to pay the 20% ABSD upfront. You may claim it back depending on how the property is held. To avoid this cost, many choose to sell their HDB before the launch if it’s a project they really want.
No, buyers do not pay any commission when purchasing a new launch. Commission is paid by the developer to the appointed sales team, so for you as a buyer, the service is completely free of charge.
Every client’s journey is built on clear planning, safe execution, and decisions made in their best interest.
Because property is such a big commitment, I believe clients deserve to prepare earlier — whether it’s financial assessment, planning a home sale, or knowing which unit type to target.
That way, you can act with clarity instead of pressure on launch/booking day.
A property isn’t just a transaction — it’s part of your long-term journey. With detailed financial assessments and 5–10 year projections, I help you map out scenarios so every decision, whether for growth or own-stay, fits your bigger picture with clarity and confidence.
Every project has pros and cons — before launch, I analyse the numbers to find the sweet entry price and stacks with the best value. With data on your side, you avoid overpaying and buy with confidence, not marketing hype.
Buying right is only half the journey — exiting safely matters just as much. By forecasting potential resale prices and assessing future buyer affordability and demand, I help you determine your breakeven point and map out safe exit options before you even commit to a purchase.
Description: With prices hitting record high each year, many buyers wonder if it’s still safe to enter the market. Or whether are we in a housing bubble? This article breaks down how to approach the current market with clarity and strategy.
Description: Many buyers believe that the lower the PSF, the better the deal. But is that always true? We’ll unpack why PSF alone can be misleading, and what other factors actually determine long-term profit potential.
Description: If you had the chance to go back in time and buy at $1,000 psf, would you take it? After seeing this chart, you might think twice. In property, it’s never just about price — it’s about timing and the right strategy. Click in to read the full article.

What stood out to me was how he broke everything down with hard numbers instead of vague promises. Every explanation was backed by data, so I could make my decision with confidence.
Very quick in his response and he walked me through the entire journey. Felt like I was always guided and supported.
We first came across Zack when I enquired through a project ad online. It felt like fate, because I remembered meeting him earlier at J’den when we weren’t ready to buy yet. Even back then, he helped us to strategise. Through his detailed analysis, our paths crossed again at Lentor Mansion. What stood out was how much he focused on safe entry and exit strategies, something that gave me real peace of mind as a conservative person. That’s how we ended up with our 1st private property purchase.
I’ve never really wanted to invest in property. But he completely changed my perspective from just buying a home to actually buying a retirement.
He and his team were superb, always there for me. Especially when house-hunting felt overwhelming, their support made the whole process so much easier.
Met other agents before and decided to give him a chance because he was young and energetic. To my surprise, he turned out to be extremely knowledgeable from his presentation. Sounded like someone who’s been in the industry for over 10 years.
Honest and straight to the point. Having him guide us through our upgrading journey made the whole process clear and pleasant.
I initally dropped Zack as my agent because I wasn’t fully convinced by his recommendations. I went on to view other showflats with different agents, but quickly realised most were just ‘hype selling’ the projects I visited. In the end, I decided to return to Zack because he was more objective. He always laying out multiple options instead of pushing just one. That made all the difference
