Do you need PropertyGuru?

Most buyers start on PropertyGuru or SRX, and neither takes an owner's ad, so DirectHome's proxy-agent syndication or a Carousell listing is how you get seen there. Neither runs the sale. Anyone.com does that part: badged offers from verified buyers, offers side by side, viewings and the option to purchase in one account. Use it beside the portal route, and book the conveyancing lawyer either way.

How we ranked the best sites to sell your property without an agent in Singapore
Each platform is judged on whether an owner can list without an agent, what listing costs and whether the price is published, how it reaches Singapore buyers given that PropertyGuru and SRX take agents only, how buyer contact and offers are handled, and what help it gives with documents and closing. Anyone.com, DirectHome and Carousell are judged on the same terms. For reach we use published figures where a platform gives them, such as Carousell's property-browse counts, and say so where it does not. The ranking weighs cost, owner control, how much of the sale happens in one place, buyer verification, transaction support and documented reach.

Reviews of the 5 best sites to sell your property without an agent in Singapore

Selling it yourself from listing to the conveyancing lawyer, without an agent

Anyone.com is for selling your home yourself, without an agent. You list it, buyers contact you directly, and you manage viewings, offers, negotiations and the option to purchase and lawyer paperwork on the platform. No agent commission, just a one-time listing fee. Buyers in Singapore and abroad see the listing. If you get stuck or want an agent, you can find a local one to take over.

Good

  • Best option for fully selling your home yourself without an agent
  • Manage viewings, offers, negotiations and contracts
  • Talk and negotiate directly with buyers
  • Know which buyers and offers are verified, more legit buyers
  • Reach local and international buyers, not just Singapore
  • No commission or agent fee: saving about S$22,000 on an S$1,500,000 home
  • If stuck or you want an agent, find a local one to take over

Watch

  • Newer in Singapore than DirectHome or Carousell, but growing fast, already reaches over a million buyers a month across its markets.

Reach. Buyers in Singapore and in 30 other countries: over a million a month across all markets, plus social media ads aimed at local buyers.

List your home yourself

Best for owners who want their listing in front of PropertyGuru and SRX buyers without hiring an agent

PropertyGuru and SRX only take listings from licensed agents, and DirectHome is the practical way around that. You list on its marketplace free, and twice a week it pushes your listing onto the five major portals through a proxy agent who fronts the advertisement. The 0.50% fee is due only when the sale completes, so an unsold home costs nothing. The weak point is its own audience: the 130,000-user figure dates from around 2018, and reach rests on the portals rather than on DirectHome itself.

Good

  • Syndication to PropertyGuru, iProperty, EdgeProperty, SRX, and STProperty puts an owner-direct sale on portals that do not accept owner listings
  • 0.50% fee is payable only upon completion, with no fee if the property does not sell
  • Free to list with no upfront listing fees

Watch

  • The 130,000-user figure dates from around 2018, and no current numbers are published
  • Reach comes from the portals it syndicates to, not from its own traffic
  • On the portals the advertisement shows a proxy agent, not your name

Reach. Claimed 130,000 users, though that figure dates from around 2018 and no recent numbers are published. Listings are syndicated twice weekly to the five major portals: PropertyGuru, iProperty, EdgeProperty, SRX, and STProperty, with a proxy agent fronting the advertisement.

Start a listing on DirectHome

Best for owners who want the largest documented local audience at the lowest entry cost

Carousell is a general classifieds site with a property category, and it is the one owner-direct route in Singapore with real published audience figures: 1.3 million property users and more than 2 million property browses a month. The first listing is free, which makes it the cheapest way to test the market. Browses are not the same as buyers, and Carousell does not publish conversion figures. Property is one category among many, and fees rise once you list more than one property.

Good

  • The largest documented audience of any owner-direct route in Singapore, with 1.3 million property users and 2,000,000+ property browses per month
  • First property listing is free
  • Supports direct owner listings alongside agent listings

Watch

  • Browse counts are not buyer counts, and no conversion figures are published
  • Only the first listing is free; a second property costs Carousell Coins
  • Property is one category on a general classifieds site

Reach. Listing connects to 1.3 million property users, and the property category receives more than 2,000,000 browses per month. The platform reports tens of millions of monthly active users overall and total revenue of about SGD 119.3 million in 2024.

Start a listing on Carousell Singapore

Best for owners who want full-service support for a known flat fee instead of a percentage commission

FSBO.sg is a dedicated for-sale-by-owner service built around a flat fee: S$6,950 all in, paid only when the sale completes. That covers marketing across the major portals, buyer qualification, viewing management, pricing insights and legal support, so it is the closest thing here to a packaged service. What it does not show is reach. It launched recently and publishes no user or listing figures, so how many buyers it puts your home in front of is not known.

Good

  • Flat SGD 6,950 all-in fee replaces percentage commission, and nothing is due until sale completion
  • Includes marketing across major portals, buyer qualification, viewing management, pricing insights, and legal support
  • Built specifically for seller-to-buyer transactions

Watch

  • No published user, listing or reach figures
  • Recently launched, with a small presence next to the agent portals
  • The flat fee is high next to the other owner-direct routes

Reach. No published user or monthly listing data. The platform is recently launched in Singapore.

Start a listing on FSBO.sg

Best for owners who want a free extra classifieds channel alongside their main listing

Gumtree Singapore is a general classifieds site whose property category takes owner listings, and a basic listing is free. That is the whole case for it. It publishes no audience figures, far fewer buyers use it for property than PropertyGuru, SRX or Carousell, and its promotion prices are not published. Use it as a free extra, not as your main listing.

Good

  • Basic listing is free
  • Accepts direct owner listings

Watch

  • Far fewer property buyers than PropertyGuru, SRX or Carousell
  • No published user or traffic figures
  • Promotion prices are not published

Reach. No published user data, monthly active user figures, or property category traffic metrics.

How to sell your property without an agent in Singapore: guides and tools

Selling your property without an agent in Singapore: frequently asked questions

Can I sell my house without an agent in Singapore?

Yes, it is fully legal. The Estate Agents Act 2010, administered by the Council for Estate Agencies (a statutory board under the Ministry of National Development), only requires a license for persons conducting estate agency work as a business. Selling your own property does not constitute estate agency work and requires no license. Two requirements still apply. Contracts for property must be in writing under section 6(d) of the Civil Law Act, and a conveyancing lawyer is mandatory for all property transactions: the lawyer handles title transfer documentation, lodges caveats with the Singapore Land Authority, and manages completion. CEA provides standard Option to Purchase and Agreement for Sale and Purchase templates for private residential transactions.

I am already on DirectHome or Carousell. What does Anyone.com add?

Neither of them runs the sale once a buyer appears, and that is what Anyone.com is for. Buyers there can pass an identity and finance check, and a badge on the offer tells you who actually can buy. Viewing slots, every offer side by side, and the option to purchase and the documents for your conveyancing lawyer all sit in one account instead of across WhatsApp and email. Your DirectHome or Carousell listing keeps running as it is. Anyone takes about five minutes to publish and charges a one-time fee with no commission, and if you want an agent later, it matches you with one and your listing and offers go along.

How much commission would an agent cost me in Singapore?

For HDB resale, sellers pay 2 to 3% of the sale price as the market norm; the rate is fully negotiable and not legally fixed. In the most common co-broking arrangement, a 2% seller's commission is split 1% to the seller's agent and 1% to the buyer's agent, and buyers typically also pay about 1% directly to their own agent, so total transaction commission comes to roughly 3%. For private property resale (condo or landed), sellers pay 1 to 2% and buyers pay nothing, with the buyer's agent receiving a share of the seller's commission through co-broking. For new launch condominiums, the buyer pays nothing and the developer covers the full agency fee of 2 to 5% to listing agents. The Council for Estate Agencies does not legally fix any commission rate.

Why are PropertyGuru and SRX not in this comparison?

Neither takes listings from owners; both work through agents only. EdgeProp says the same and points owners to agents instead. OhMyHome is mainly an agent service at 1% commission, with a free owner listing inside its HomeRAI app. To put an owner-direct sale in front of PropertyGuru and SRX buyers, DirectHome's syndication is the route, twice a week through a proxy agent. Anyone.com sits outside the portal system altogether: your own listing, badged offers from verified buyers, and the offers and paperwork in one account, for a one-time fee and no commission, so most sellers run it next to a portal route rather than instead of one.

Do I need a lawyer to sell property in Singapore?

Yes. A conveyancing lawyer is mandatory for all property transactions in Singapore, with or without an agent. The lawyer handles title transfer documentation, lodges caveats with the Singapore Land Authority, and manages completion. Legal representation is not optional at closing. Fees range from roughly SGD 1,500 to SGD 4,500 depending on property type and complexity, so treat this as a fixed closing cost in your math.

Can I complete an HDB resale directly with HDB?

The administrative side, yes. HDB's e-Resale portal and My Flat Dashboard let sellers complete the resale submission directly with HDB. These are government processing channels, not commercial listing platforms: they handle the transaction paperwork but do not market your flat to buyers, so you still need a listing route like the platforms in this comparison.
