9 Best Agents to Sell Your Home in Singapore (August 2026)
My picks for the best agents to sell your home in Singapore for 2026, from marketing-led teams to 1% fixed-fee options, plus how to price.
This guide is part of Terris Recommends, my researched, hands-on picks of the best local businesses and services in Singapore. Every recommendation is researched and ranked by me.
See all recommendationsWhen you are selling your home, the agent you choose has a direct impact on how much you walk away with and how smoothly it goes. The best agent to sell your house is not the one who flatters you with the highest asking price to win the listing, it is the one who prices realistically, markets the property properly, and negotiates hard on your behalf.
I researched this the way I approach everything in this series, comparing agencies on their marketing strength, pricing discipline, and fee models, from full-service teams to the 1% fixed-fee platforms. Every agent worth using is registered with the Council for Estate Agencies, which you should always verify.
Below are the nine agents and agencies I would trust to sell a home in 2026, plus the context that matters: how to price and market it, what commission to pay, and the stamp duty timing that can catch sellers out. If you want the wider field first, see my guide to the best property agents in Singapore.
Selling is where a good agent genuinely earns their commission. Here is what separates one who nets you more from one who just lists and waits.
- Honest pricing. The most common mistake sellers make is picking the agent who quotes the highest price. That agent often just wants the listing, then spends weeks talking you down. A good agent prices to sell in a reasonable timeframe.
- Real marketing. Professional photography, a proper listing write-up, video where it helps, home staging advice, and wide exposure across the portals and social channels. Presentation moves the price.
- Negotiation. The difference between an average and a strong closer can be tens of thousands of dollars on the final price. Ask how they handle offers and counter-offers.
- Buyer reach. A wide, active buyer network means more viewings, more competition, and a better price. This is where the larger agencies have an edge.
- Timing and tax awareness. A good agent flags Seller's Stamp Duty if you are selling early, and helps you sequence a sale and purchase around the ABSD rules if you are upgrading.
Before you sign, verify the agent on the CEA Public Register and ask for their recent sales in your development or area, with the actual prices and time on market.
Two money matters are worth getting right before you list: what you pay your agent, and the stamp duty that can bite if your timing is off.
Commission. A seller typically pays around 2% of the sale price plus GST for full-service representation, while 1% fixed-fee platforms offer a lower-cost route for a straightforward home. On a higher-value or harder-to-sell property, strong marketing and negotiation can more than pay for the higher fee. Commission is negotiable, so agree it in writing.
Seller's Stamp Duty. If you sell a residential property within three years of buying it, you may owe Seller's Stamp Duty, on a sliding scale that falls to zero after the holding period. Check the current rules on the IRAS site before you sell an early purchase.
Upgrading sequence. If you are selling to buy, the order matters. Buying before you sell can mean paying Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on the second property, which you may later be able to claim back within a set window under certain conditions. A good agent helps you plan the timeline so you are not caught out.

With a network this size, choose the individual agent on their sales record in your area. But for sheer exposure and a deep bench of experienced sellers, PropNex is a natural first call, especially for mainstream HDB and condo sales.

Getting the price right at launch is one of the biggest levers in a sale, and OrangeTee's data culture is genuinely useful here. For a seller who wants the numbers behind the pricing strategy, it is a strong choice.

With around 5,000 agents it also has solid reach for the sale itself. For the classic sell-and-upgrade move, Huttons' ability to handle both halves under one roof is genuinely useful.

The savings are real: on a S$600,000 sale, the gap between 2% and 1% is S$6,000. For a home that will sell readily on its merits, Ohmyhome's fixed-fee model is well worth considering.

Comparing both fixed-fee platforms costs you nothing, so it is worth getting a sense of each before you list. For a clear, modern, lower-fee selling experience, Bluenest is a solid pick.

For a prime-district condo, a penthouse or a landed home at the top of the market, Knight Frank's network and brand are a genuine advantage. It is not the choice for a heartland flat, but for luxury it is top tier.

Interview two or three, and choose on evidence, not on who quotes the highest price. Ask each for their recent sales in your development or area, with the actual transacted prices and days on market. Look at their marketing quality, ask how they handle negotiation, and check them on the CEA register. The agent with a realistic pricing view and strong recent results is usually the right one.
A seller typically pays about 2% of the sale price plus GST for full-service representation, while fixed-fee platforms like Ohmyhome and Bluenest charge around 1%. Commission is negotiable. For an easy-to-sell home the fixed-fee route often makes sense, while for a higher-value or harder-to-sell property, strong marketing and negotiation from a full-service agent can more than justify the higher fee.
Only if you sell a residential property within the holding period, currently three years from purchase, on a sliding scale that reduces to zero after that. If you have held the property longer, no Seller's Stamp Duty applies. Check the current rates and holding period on the IRAS website, especially if you are selling a relatively recent purchase.
Often yes, to avoid paying Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on a second property, though there are conditions and possible remission windows if you buy first. The right sequence depends on your finances and the market. This is exactly where a good agent, and your conveyancing lawyer, help you plan the timeline so you are not caught out.
Yes, especially for photos and viewings. A tidy, well-presented, professionally photographed home attracts more interest and can support a higher price, because most buyers form an impression online before they visit. Marketing-led agents build staging and professional photography into their service, and it is one of the clearest ways presentation turns into price.
Sellers choose an agent partly on how professional and trustworthy they look online. The agents who win listings are often the ones with a sharp website showing their track record and recent sales. If your online presence is not doing that, that is the part I help with.
I build fast, search-optimised websites for property agents, with the track-record pages, area guides and local SEO that turn a seller's search into a listing appointment. It is the same organic lead engine I cover in my guide to real estate agent websites and SEO.

The best agent to sell your home in Singapore depends on the property. For a home where marketing moves the price, go with PropertyLimBrothers. For maximum reach, PropNex or ERA. For data-led pricing, OrangeTee. To keep the fee down on a straightforward sale, Ohmyhome or Bluenest at 1%. And for a prime home, Knight Frank.
Whichever you choose, pick on evidence not on the highest quoted price, agree the commission in writing, watch the Seller's Stamp Duty and upgrading timing, and verify the agent on the CEA Public Register.
