200+ Homes Sold — Including Units that Sat for Months!

How We Consistently Sell ‘Hard-to-Move’ Homes in Under 2 Months - Without Dropping the Price

Even if it’s on a low floor, facing the afternoon sun, beside the expressway, or near a rubbish dump.

Like This Unit at D’Nest — Sold at a Record $2.23M Despite Multiple Buyer Objections

This 4-bed unit had several challenges that would normally scare off buyers:

  • Afternoon sun exposure

  • Modified layout (4-bed converted to 3-bed)

  • Buyer resistance — most still wanted the original configuration

We didn’t wait for the market to “wake up.” We reframed the narrative.

  • Highlighted the rare 1,410 sqft layout (larger than typical 1,270 sqft units)

  • Showcased the unblocked greenery views that created a sense of calm

  • Positioned the unit as a luxury escape, not just a resale condo

The result? Asking price of $2.18M turned into a record-breaking sale of $2.23M.

Still Waiting for Serious Offers?

You’ve cleaned. You’ve updated the photos.

You might’ve even repainted and adjusted the price.

There’s some interest, a few viewings… maybe even a couple of lowball offers.

But nothing’s happening. And it’s hard to know what else to do.

The agent says, “Just be patient.”

Buyers say, “Let us think about it.”

And weeks go by without progress.

If your home comes with a few “common buyer objections” — like:

  • A low floor

  • Road or expressway exposure

  • Afternoon sun

  • An older layout or a short lease

You might be wondering: “Is my unit just too hard to sell?”

But it’s not.

Why Some Listings Struggle — Even When They’re Priced “Correctly”

Here’s what most sellers (and even agents) overlook:

We’ve seen units that sat on the market for months — with all the usual “problems” — suddenly spark interest and sell within weeks.

What changed?

Not the property.

Not the market.

Just the way it was positioned.

Buyers form an impression the moment they see your home online — before they even step in for a viewing.

And most listings? They don’t shift that first impression effectively.

How Buyers Really Think in 2025

Today’s buyers aren’t just comparing layout or price.

They’re comparing how each space makes them feel.

In 2025:

  • They’re overwhelmed by listings

  • They’re emotionally exhausted from high prices

  • They’re desperate for certainty

  • And they expect every home to look like a showflat

If your home doesn’t immediately feel “comfortable,” “inspiring,” or “livable”... they scroll past.

Or they come for a viewing — and walk away quietly.

That emotional connection is what drives offers.

But it’s not something most listings — or traditional marketing — actively create.

THE BIG MISTAKE: THINKING PHOTOS AND PRICE ARE ENOUGH

It’s common to assume that good photos, a clean unit, and a fair price should be enough.

And to be fair — I used to think so too.

But in today’s market, that’s the baseline — not a strategy.

We’ve seen the same unit — same price, same layout — go from 0 viewings to 6 offers, just by changing how it was perceived.

Let’s break it down:

  • Listing Style

  • What Buyers Feel

Poor lighting + generic description

“Something feels off”

Overstaged “showflat” look

“Looks fake — not livable”

Clean, styled with buyer in mind

“I can picture myself here”

Buyers don’t want to be wowed — they want to feel at ease.

They don’t want perfection — they want potential they can connect with.

That’s what gets clicks. That’s what leads to offers.

Because buyers today don’t just buy a floor plan.

They buy the feeling of “I can see myself living here.”

HOW I SOLD 200+ STAGNANT UNITS IN UNDER 2 MONTHS — BY CHANGING HOW BUYERS SEE YOUR HOME

This didn’t happen by accident.

Over the years, I noticed something most agents ignore:

People don’t buy based on features. They buy based on feeling.

So I developed a smarter, buyer-first approach called the “Perception Design System”.

It’s not just better styling. Not just better photos.

It’s about mastering first impressions — and making buyers feel “at home” before they even step inside.

Decluttering

Clutter is one of the biggest obstacles to getting a desirable offer - having too much stuff prevents your potential buyers from envisioning the true potential of the space.

We’ll help you clean & organise your entire home, maximising the space to become showflat-ready.

Painting

A fresh coat of paint is the easiest way to transform old units, instantly increasing its appeal.

We use timeless neutral colours to give future buyers a sense of a blank canvas, making it easier for them to re-imagine their home.

Furniture Matching

Oftentimes, old & worn-out furniture brings down the perceived value of your unit.

That’s why we even replace all furniture where necessary, with carefully selected pieces that bring out the best in each room.

Lighting

The right lighting makes a big difference to the finished look in both your listing photos and viewings. By replacing outdated fixtures and optimising lighting placement, we can draw attention toward areas we want buyers to notice (and away from other areas).

Finishing Touches

Finally, we carefully select and place accessories and appliances in each room, to bring life and personality to your home, helping buyers connect emotionally with the property.

Then I design the entire listing —

From photos to words to viewing flow —

To speak directly to your ideal buyer.

So when they land on your page or walk through your door, it feels like home.

That’s the real reason my clients consistently sell homes others couldn’t —

And it’s why so many of them do it in under 2 months — without dropping their price.

Case study

Executive Maisonette in Simei

Sold at A Record Price @ $682K in Just 7 Viewings

Before Makeover

The unit had been on the market for over a year without any good offers.

The owner had lived in the unit for over 20 years, making it hard to sell at the current market price without a negative sale

The unit had not been renovated in over 20 years, which posed a problem for potential buyers who would need to invest a minimum of $80K to renovate the entire unit.

After Makeover

Instead of spending thousands on renovations, we declutter to make it look spacious and inviting.

We highlight the unit's prime ground floor location and its proximity to Simei MRT Station as main selling points in our marketing materials.

After the unit was sold, we also assisted them in negotiating with the CPF Board to treat the negative sale as a paper loss, enabling them to move on to their next new home with more financial flexibility.

Blk 817A Keat Hong Link

Sold At A Record Price @ $555K in Just 1 Weekend

Before Makeover

Our clients wanted to sell their HDB unit at Keat Hong Mirage, which was 4.5 years old.

We foresaw a high level of competition once their HDB unit completes the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) requirement.

After Makeover

We advised the homeowners to write an appeal letter to HDB, requesting early approval to sell the property, allowing us to start marketing it ahead of time.

We declutter and prepared the unit to look showroom-ready.

We took high-quality photos and created a video tour to showcase the property's best features.

We conducted the viewing and bidding to help them secure the best price possible.
