What Clients Say

I recently sold my 4-room HDB flat through Derek from ERA and the entire process was smooth and well-managed from start to finish. Derek took time to explain the current HDB market, advised on a realistic selling price, and helped to present and market the unit professionally. Communication was clear and prompt; Derek updated me after every viewing and guided me through the negotiations, option, and completion paperwork with patience. The sale was concluded at a price I was happy with and within the timeline I needed. Overall, I’m very satisfied with Derek’s professionalism and responsiveness, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their HDB property.

Working with Derek was truly one of the best decisions we made during our home search. From the very beginning, he was by our side and remained fully present throughout the entire journey right until the very end. Having someone so dedicated and dependable made what could have been a stressful process feel much smoother and more reassuring. What stood out most was how Derek consistently went above and beyond to help us secure not just any house, but the right home for our family. He gave us thoughtful and honest advice at every stage, helping us make informed decisions with confidence. It was clear that he always had our best interests at heart. We also deeply appreciated his patience and professionalism. We had many questions along the way, and he always took the time to answer each one thoroughly without ever making us feel rushed. He was incredibly accommodating to our requests and always made us feel heard and supported. Derek is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to clients. We are very grateful for his guidance and dedication, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a property agent who truly goes the extra mile.

Derek worked for our previous landlord 4 years ago. When we decided to move back to Singapore we contacted him, even before we arrived wit a very different time zone. He was always ready to reply immediately. Sometimes we though that he did not sleep at all. With the prices up in this market he managed to understand our situation and found us a solution that suited us 100% Only gratitude for this man!

Additionally, he is also very knowledgeable about property financing and trends. Derek is very meticulous in his approach providing regular updates and following up on matters making the whole process seamless and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Derek to others who are looking to buy or sell their homes.

Sujana Prasad

Derek has been very informative, professional and patient in serving me throughout my home purchase. As a first time home buyer, after viewing of multiple projects, dilemma arising from choices was inevitable due to considerations on affordability, location and condition of the property. Derek has acted with commendable service by providing communication comfort, which allowed ease in sharing opinions of the viewed projects, which is vital for an agent to effectively source for better properties to suit one's need. Within a short time frame, Derek managed to single out a particular unit that met all my desired requirements. Thank you Derek.
