My fiancé and I embarked on the journey of house searching with a tall list of requirements. We were confident that by doing research we could find our dream home. 

Fast forward to close to 3 months later – after trawling propertyguru.com.sg countless times and going for clueless viewings at different houses on our own, we were a little dispirited and wondered if our requirements are even possible to find within one house. And that’s when we coincidentally bumped into Aaron during one of our house viewing.

As someone who really hates hard selling or sales talk, I was very much guarded against any property agent in general, just in case I was “accidentally” brainwashed by their sales tactics. But Aaron really impressed me when, upon realising we are really novices in the whole house searching business, he stood at the void deck of the house that we previously viewed and shared with us tons of tips and advices on how we can try to shortlist and narrow down our find. It was a really hot night that day, and the 2 men (Aaron and my fiancé) were sweating like crazy in the sweltering heat. But that did not stopped Aaron from his enthusiasm and we can feel his passion in this line of work. It is also worth noting that throughout the conversation, there is little to no mention of engaging him as our property agent to help us find. Instead, he really tried to stand in our shoes and shared tips on how we can sieve the potential properties, such as how not to judge the pictures by how pretty they look (cos most likely they are photo-shopped! Like der, that is so common sense, but why we didn’t think of it! Hmm…) but instead to focus on the key details that are important to us.

To cut the long story short, upon engaging Aaron, we managed to find our dream house in our 2nd week of viewing. Two weeks!!! I think no words can better describe his knowledge in his field of work other than the result. And just to put into perspective how tall that order is – it might be easier to share what is our requirements. We stated the following:

List of requirements: 
– Sengkang / Punggol area only
– Preferably near or easy to access to mrts 
– High floor (10 and above) 
– Full length and or 3/4 windows (both living room and bedrooms) 
– 15 years or younger flats
– no awkward room shapes 
– doesn’t face opposite flats directly / too near opposite flats

Today, we went to HDB to sign the letters to finalise the resale procedure. And Aaron feels more like a friend than just a property agent to us now. And if you wonder why I’m willing to write such a long testimonial for him, it is because it takes one sales person to know the hard work involved and effort another sales person put in to give the customers a seamless and smooth experience.

Aaron, we just want to say keep up the good spirit and GREAT work!! We are truly very thankful and blessed that you have been with us every step of the way and this journey could not be smooth without your guidance. Thank you very much for your service. We really felt every penny spent is money well spent.
