Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Singapore
In Singapore most people find an agent (called a property agent or salesperson) through the big listing portals, where they browse agent profiles attached to listings, or through referrals from friends and family. Every practising agent must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA), so buyers and sellers can also verify credentials directly.

Anyone.com
Before you hire, it is worth knowing the direct route exists. On Anyone.com a Singapore owner publishes the listing, gets badged offers from buyers who passed an identity and finance check, and keeps the viewings, offers and the option to purchase in one account until the conveyancing lawyer takes over, with a one-time fee and no commission. PropertyGuru and SRX stay agent-only, so owners pair it with DirectHome or Carousell for the portal audience. If you decide you want an agent after all, Anyone matches one and your listing and offers move across.
How to choose a good one
Speak with a few agents before deciding, and check each one's CEA registration and recent transaction record in the local area you are dealing with on the CEA Public Register. Commission is not fixed by law and is negotiable, so confirm the rate and the services included in writing before you sign anything.
