There’s probably no more hated profession in Singapore than the real estate agent. While there are certainly good agents out there, the problem is with more than 30,000 agents (although the active number is much lower), the quality of the agent that you randomly meet can wildly differ. In the early days, almost anyone could become a real estate agent, and some of the older agents that you may meet today may not have really kept themselves up to date with the property market (or for that matter, with technology). Today, the newer agents have to go through an exam that is tough to get through. From what we’ve heard on the ground, the pass rate is only between 20 – 30 per cent! So while realtors have become much more professional, there still are some horror stories in the market. (But remember, it’s not always on the agent, there are some equally unreasonable clients out there!)...
