Hiya jedamumOh, maybe they change policy again wif regards to staying near parents. In the meanwhile no harm start looking and call up those ads that interest you, if you find an agent that you like/comfortable wif, stick with him/her. Ask the agent to hunt for you, most of them hv very strong network within the area that they are working on (like clementi specialist/ toh guan/jurong east specialist) one thing is that they get paid by commission, so they are very on. One important thing to take note is that you must NOT ever give to the agent is your Singpass pin for them to access your personnal info. A friend of mine went and view about 42 units :!: before he decide on one. So no need to be shy (please ah, mean no offense to any housing agents members here, just my personnal views ). I learnt lots from those agents that i encountered, by the things they asked, i learn quickly to ask the next one b4 they ask me, so i don't appear to be ignorant (me very kiasi and kiasu). Maybe sould start another thread on this instead of using jacyn intro thread.. :oops:
