Career

Yes, you can. Sales is a skill that can be learned. I started off without any sale experiences anyway. But it was a steep learning curve. I have to be frank with you. Here, if I can do it. So can you!

Go and take the RES exam and clear the exam. That is the most importantly thing to do now. In the meantime, you can immerse yourself by reading up on property news, policies, regulations and any happening events pertaining to the industry. You can also follow my social handles to keep yourself abreast of the industry.

Sales is never an easy career. It demands strong mental resilience and emotional strength to last. That said, real estate sales can be highly rewarding if you approach it seriously and treat it as a long-term profession. Many have built successful careers this way. If you never try, you’ll never know. However, this must be viewed as a career, not just a “job.” If you’re only looking for a job with certainty and comfort, this industry may not be the right fit.

• There are five key qualities essential for success in this line:

  1. A strong desire to succeed — you need hunger and determination, or the industry will wear you down quickly.
  2. A genuine interest in property or strong motivation for results — if you don’t enjoy what you sell, it’s hard to stay passionate.
  3. Self-discipline — without fixed working hours, many agents lose focus or get distracted instead of building their business.
  4. Resilience and perseverance — many new RES give up far too early, before giving themselves enough time to see results.
  5. The right mentor — a good manager can guide you and contribute part of your success, but the majority still depends on your own consistency, effort, and execution.

This is a 100% commission-based career. There is no basic salary. In this way, you will be driven to succeed!

The sky the limit! It is possible to earn six-digit figures in a year if you adopted the right strategies and lots of hard work. On another extreme. You could be scoring zero sales and throw in the towel as soon as you get in. That is the sad reality.

Absolutely. Real estate is a highly flexible career where you manage your own time. I welcome part-timers, retirees, full-time homemakers, retrenched individuals, and fresh graduates. I’ll tailor the training and level of support according to your availability and goals.

It depends. As long as your HR department or immediate supervisor approves, you may practise as a part-time agent. It’s always best to seek their consent first. However, if you’re employed in the government or a statutory board, the answer is generally no.

Yes. Training are conducted regularly in Propnex that covers policies, market trends to specialize sales training. There is also monthly training conducted by top leaders in Propnex. On the team level, I will also personally conduct addition training sessions to accelerate your learning curve.

My immediate manager is Veroy Chua, who leads the Veroy Chua Division. Our division operates under the Matt Lam Division, which in turn falls under the Marcus Luah Advisory Group — currently the largest group within PropNex.

I provide support on three levels.

First, you’ll have the opportunity to shadow me during appointments. This gives you a front-row view of how I engage clients, understand their needs, and present tailored property solutions.

Second, I’ll conduct regular one-to-one reviews with you to align your strategies and approach. These sessions are designed to keep you focused, motivated, and moving in the right direction.

Third, I’ll be your mentor throughout your sales career. Whenever you encounter questions, challenges, or unfamiliar situations, you can always approach me for guidance and advice.

First, I’ve been in the real estate industry for over 17 years. The experience I’ve accumulated over the years allows me to help you elevate your sales performance and avoid common pitfalls. I’ll openly share the mistakes I’ve made, so you don’t have to learn everything the hard way.

Second, I’m currently growing my team, which means I have the time and capacity to mentor you properly. This is crucial, as many managers are stretched thin and may not have the time or commitment to support their team members effectively.

Third, I’m still actively involved in sales myself. This matters because a manager who continues to sell stays relevant, understands current market conditions, and can offer practical, up-to-date guidance — not just theory.

Yes. We can arrange to meet up in a nice café to discuss further.
