Buying, selling, or refinancing a home in Singapore usually involves three separate professionals — a property agent to find or market the home, a mortgage broker to secure the loan, and a conveyancing lawyer to handle the legal transfer. KakiList lists 246 verified property service providers across these specialisms, plus a free property valuation tool so you can sanity-check a price before you negotiate.
Start with valuation. Asking prices on listing portals are marketing, not market value. A comparable-sales valuation — recent transactions in the same block or development, adjusted for floor level, remaining lease, and when the sale happened — tells you whether an offer is realistic. It matters for HDB resale too: if you pay above the HDB valuation, the difference (cash over valuation) must be paid in cash, not from your loan or CPF.
Property agents in Singapore must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA). Check any agent's registration number on CEA's public register before signing an estate agency agreement, and confirm who pays commission — sellers typically pay the listing agent, while buyers may pay their own agent separately. Mortgage brokers are usually paid by the banks, so their advice is free to borrowers, but ask how many banks they compare. Loan eligibility is capped by the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) and, for HDB flats and new ECs, the Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR), so get an in-principle approval before you pay an option fee.
Every purchase needs a conveyancing lawyer to handle the Option to Purchase, stamp duty filing, CPF withdrawals, and completion. Fees for a private property purchase are typically a few thousand dollars including disbursements; HDB transactions are simpler and usually cheaper. Browse the sub-categories below, compare providers on real Google reviews, and contact them directly. KakiList takes no referral fees.

Every property agent in Singapore must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA). Search the agent's name or registration number on CEA's public register to confirm their registration and the agency they work under. Don't sign an estate agency agreement with anyone who isn't listed.
Usually not. Most Singapore mortgage brokers are paid a referral fee by the bank, so their service is free to borrowers. Ask how many banks they compare and whether they can also check HDB loan eligibility, so you can compare bank and HDB loan options side by side.
Compare it against recent transactions for similar units nearby, adjusted for floor level, remaining lease, and when the sale happened. A free comparable-sales valuation gives you a price range to anchor negotiations. For HDB resale, anything you pay above the HDB valuation must be paid in cash.
