Associate Marketing Consultant · Crestbrick Pte Ltd
The property advisor who buys what he recommends
I built a five-property portfolio before turning 30 through Singapore's most active years of cooling measures. Every structure, every strategy, every mistake I made is now part of the methodology I use with clients.

The numbers
The methodology
4-Pillar Property Portfolio Analysis
Most agents show you a listing. I show you a 4-pillar analysis that determines whether the deal makes sense for your specific situation before you sign anything.
What does the deal actually cost, all-in? BSD, ABSD, stamp duty, legal fees, agent commission, renovation plus the opportunity cost of the cash deployed. I build the full transaction stack before any client signs an OTP.
Monthly mortgage, maintenance, property tax, and rental income (if applicable). Cashflow determines whether the property is a drain or an engine. I model the break-even occupancy rate and stress-test at higher SORA scenarios.
TDSR, MSR, MOP, SSD window, CPF accrued interest, ABSD remission eligibility. Compliance is the rules layer getting it wrong costs more than the commission saved. I check all regulatory constraints before recommending a structure.
Where does this property fit in the 10-year portfolio plan? Is the exit clear? What's the upgrade path after this? Every deal is evaluated for where it leads, not just what it costs today.
Why not a typical agent
Investor-first mindset. Commission-earning, but honest about the numbers.
Yes, I earn commission on completed transactions. That's the business. But I've walked away from deals and told clients not to buy when the numbers didn't work. I've done it with my own money too, which is why the advice is different.
Most agents are trained to close. I'm trained to analyse. The Property Portfolio Analysis came from losing money on one of my own properties in 2018 because I didn't stress-test the hold period against my personal cashflow. That mistake is why the Cashflow and Continuity pillars exist.
When the deal is good, I'll tell you. When it isn't, I'll tell you that too and show you why, in writing.
Who I work with
Five types of client, one methodology.
HDB Upgraders
MOP-ready families looking to move to a private condo. I work through the upgrade math: net proceeds, ABSD exposure, LTV, and whether to sell first or buy first.
Restructuring Couples
Married couples looking to own two properties simultaneously. The break-even analysis determines whether restructuring saves more than it costs at your price point.
Property Investors
Existing property owners adding to the portfolio. I model the third-property ABSD exposure and whether the rental yield justifies the permanent stamp duty cost.
Foreign Buyers
Non-residents navigating Singapore's 60% ABSD, LTV restrictions, and FTA exemptions. I work through the full legal structure before recommending any purchase.
Family Offices
Multi-generation wealth allocation in Singapore real estate. Trust structures, living trusts for minors, and intergenerational property planning.
