Property agent fined $14000 and suspended for fake property listings and advertisements

In the bustling world of real estate, where the stakes are high and competition is fierce, maintaining ethical standards is paramount. The Code of Ethics and Professional Client Care (CEPCC) serves as a beacon guiding real estate agents and salespersons towards ethical conduct and professionalism. However, as exemplified in the case of Abel Ang Pei Xiong, a real estate salesperson (RES) registered with ERA, deviations from these standards can have serious consequences. Paragraph 12(4)(a) of the CEPCC explicitly mandates that estate agents and salespersons refrain from disseminating any inaccurate, false, or misleading information in their advertisements. This provision is not just a legal requirement but also a moral obligation to uphold transparency and fairness in the real estate industry. Abel Ang's case, which unfolded between December 2021 and February 2022, underscores the repercussions of flouting these ethical guidelines. Ang, in his capacity as an RES, posted online advertisements for three new property developments – Properties A, B, and C. However, instead of adhering to the accurate prices provided by the developers, Ang advertised significantly lower prices, ranging from $260,000 to over one million dollars less than the developers' asking prices. The ensuing disciplinary proceedings revealed the gravity of Ang's actions. The CEA Disciplinary Committee (DC) found him guilty of three breaches of Paragraph 12(4)(a) of the CEPCC. The DC's ruling emphasized that Ang's misleading advertisements were not mere oversights but deliberate attempts to deceive potential buyers. Such practices not only tarnish the integrity of the profession but also unjustly disadvantage other RESs adhering to ethical standards. The repercussions for Abel Ang were severe. Convicted on three charges, he faced fines totaling $14,000 and a five-month suspension starting from October 2023. Beyond the financial penalties, the suspension serves as a reminder of the consequences of ethical misconduct in the real estate industry. Ang's actions had broader implications beyond his individual misconduct. Misleading advertisements not only deceive consumers but also cast doubt on the transparency and credibility of developers and the real estate profession as a whole. Discrepancies between advertised prices and actual selling prices erode trust and undermine the integrity of the market. Moreover, Ang's conduct highlights the ethical dilemma faced by RESs in a competitive market environment. The temptation to attract clients through deceptive means can be alluring, but it comes at the cost of professional integrity and long-term trust. To prevent such ethical lapses in the future, stringent enforcement of ethical guidelines and regular training programs are essential. Real estate agencies must foster a culture of integrity and accountability, where RESs understand the importance of honesty and transparency in all their dealings. In conclusion, Ang's case serves as a cautionary tale for real estate professionals, underscoring the imperative of upholding ethical standards in advertising practices. By adhering to the principles outlined in the CEPCC, RESs not only fulfill their legal obligations but also contribute to a fair, transparent, and trustworthy real estate industry.

APAC Realty Limited: Almost 50% decline in new home sales revenue in 2023 for ERA

APAC Realty Limited, a prominent real estate services provider operating under the ERA brand in Singapore, recently released its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. Despite facing challenges in the macro environment and local property market, the company demonstrated resilience, retaining a substantial share of the Singapore market and continuing its expansion efforts in overseas markets. Revenue and Profit Performance: In FY2023, APAC Realty reported a revenue of S$557.3 million, representing a decline from S$705.0 million in FY2022. The drop in revenue can be attributed to a 47.8% decline in new home sales revenue and a 3.3% decrease in revenue from resale and rental of properties. The company closed FY2023 with a net profit of S$10.6 million, reflecting a 59.9% decrease compared to FY2022. Despite the challenges, Mr. Marcus Chu, the Chief Executive Officer of APAC Realty, highlighted the company's ability to generate positive cash flows and maintain S$44.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023. Market Share and Performance in Singapore: In a challenging market environment, ERA, APAC Realty's real estate brokerage arm, managed to retain a sizeable share of the Singapore market. According to market data, ERA recorded 18,911 property sales transactions in FY2023, capturing a 40.7% share of the residential property market. This is consistent with the 40.6% share achieved in FY2022. The Capital Markets & Investment Sales (CMIS) team played a pivotal role in closing significant deals, contributing to the overall performance. ERA was also appointed as the marketing agency for 21 new home projects, securing an estimated 30% share of the new homes segment. Technological Innovation and Commitment to Salespersons: In 2023, ERA demonstrated its commitment to empowering salespersons with cutting-edge technologies. The SALES+ super-app was enhanced with over 20 new features, including the integration of OpenAI GPT-3.5 for copywriting, content generation, and translation tasks. This integration significantly improved salespersons' productivity and overall user experience. ERA's focus on innovation extended to features such as in-app asset advisors, property valuation tools, and streamlined processes for posting property listings. These advancements showcased ERA's commitment to staying ahead in technology adoption and providing superior service to clients. Collaboration and Outreach: ERA's collaboration with Mediacorp on the television drama, 'My One and Only,' further extended the brand's reach and connected with new audiences. The drama, featuring renowned actors like Zoe Tay, Elvin Ng, and Ya Hui, provided a fresh perspective on the real estate profession and showcased ERA's commitment to engaging with the community. Outlook and Regional Expansion: Looking ahead to FY2024, APAC Realty is set to focus on salespersons, projects, and platforms. The company aims to empower its sales force with advanced tools and knowledge, reinforcing its position as an industry leader. Overseas, the Group continues its regional expansion strategy, particularly in Indonesia and Vietnam, with recent acquisitions and a positive outlook for the Vietnam property market in FY2024. Conclusion: APAC Realty's FY2023 results showcase a company that, despite market challenges, remains resilient, innovative, and committed to empowering its sales force. The strategic focus on technology, market share retention, and regional expansion positions APAC Realty for continued success in the dynamic real estate landscape. As the industry evolves, APAC Realty's adaptability and commitment to excellence ensure it remains a key player in the Asia-Pacific real estate market. APAC Realty - ERA Share Price in Singapore Exchange APAC Realty share price in Singapore stock market sunk to a 3-year low at $0.41 on March 4, 2024. The Singapore real estate market sentiment has deteriorated due to high interest rate environment and ongoing retrenchment in the tech sector.  Mr. JT Chia, the Managing Director of Propertyforsale Pte Ltd, sees a buying opportunity at $0.41 which is a strong support level. The risk reward is favourable for long term investors and APAC Realty has a very high dividend yield.

Enhancing Connectivity: Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 4 Set to Transform East Coast Properties

Singapore's commitment to advancing its public transportation infrastructure takes another significant stride as the Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 4 (TEL4) is set to commence passenger services on June 23, 2024. This announcement was made during the Ministry of Transport's Committee of Supply debate, emphasizing the government's dedication to enhancing accessibility and connectivity for commuters. Linking East Coast Region with Thomson-East Coast Line The TEL4, spanning 10.8km, encompasses seven strategically located stations: Tanjong Rhu, Katong Park, Tanjong Katong, Marine Parade, Marine Terrace, Siglap, and Bayshore. This extension aims to improve accessibility for commuters in the East Coast region, offering alternative travel options and reducing travel times significantly. Travel Time Savings and Improved Connectivity Commuters along the East Coast area can anticipate travel time savings of up to 50 percent when utilizing the TEL. For example, a resident from Marine Parade commuting to Shenton Way will experience a journey time of just 20 minutes via TEL, compared to the current 40 minutes by bus and train. This substantial reduction in travel time is set to enhance the overall commuting experience for residents and workers alike. Additionally, TEL4 extends the reach of the rail network, providing better access to work and recreational options along the East Coast. With the opening of TEL4, approximately 235,000 households will be within a 10-minute walk from an existing TEL station, fostering greater connectivity and convenience. Preview and Free Travel Event To familiarize commuters with the new TEL4 stations, a special preview and free travel event will be held on June 21, 2024, from 10 am to 9 pm. This event not only offers a glimpse of the state-of-the-art facilities but also provides an opportunity for residents to experience the enhanced connectivity firsthand. A series of activities will be organized to mark the opening, with more details available on the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) social media pages. Future Developments: TEL5, DTLe, and East Coast Integrated Depot Looking ahead, residents in the east of Singapore can anticipate further improvements to their commuting experience. Four additional stations – Bedok South, Sungei Bedok interchange, and Xilin – are slated to open in 2026, coinciding with the completion of TEL5 and the Downtown Line extension (DTLe) projects. The East Coast Integrated Depot, featuring connecting tunnels to both TEL and DTL, along with viaducts from the East-West Line, is also set to open in 2026. These developments underscore Singapore's commitment to creating a comprehensive and efficient public transportation network for its residents. In conclusion, the opening of Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 4 is a pivotal moment in Singapore's ongoing efforts to improve transportation infrastructure. With enhanced connectivity, reduced travel times, and future expansions in the pipeline, residents and commuters in the East Coast region can look forward to a more seamless and efficient transportation experience. Property Prices Near Thomson-East Coast Line Properties, both landed and condominiums, situated within a ten-minute walking distance from the TEL MRT stations are poised to gain advantages from the ease of commuting to work or the city. Nevertheless, most of the good news have been priced in. Property prices have appreciated significantly in recent years since the announcement from the Land Transport Authority, said Andy Chia JT, Propertyforsale Managing Director.  Businesses face headwinds and uncertainties as global economic activity remains slow, he said.  The layoff in the techology (IT) sector will persist this year and it will affect some Singaporeans' ability to service their mortgage loans if they cannot find a tenant, Chia said.

Nestled in the prestigious Lentor Hills estate, this residential development is set to redefine luxury living with its unique concept inspired by Singapore's iconic black-and-white bungalows.

Single Singaporean Seniors Enjoy ABSD Refund for Second Residential Property Purchase

As of February 16, 2024, Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above have a new opportunity to claim a refund on Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) paid for their second residential property. This initiative is designed to provide financial relief for single seniors who fulfill specific criteria outlined by the government. Let's delve into the conditions and application process for this ABSD refund. Conditions for ABSD Refund Eligibility To qualify for the ABSD refund, single Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above must meet the following conditions: 1. ABSD Payment on Second Residential Property: The ABSD must be paid on the second residential property. 2. Ownership of First Residential Property: The first residential property must be solely owned by a single Singaporean citizen aged 55 and above or co-owned with single Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above, who are immediate family members. 3. Common Ownership of First and Second Residential Properties: The owners of the first residential property must also be the owners of the second residential property. Additional owners, if any, must also be single Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above and immediate family members. 4. Limit on Residential Property Ownership: Buyers should not own more than one residential property each at the time of purchasing the second residential property. Additionally, they should not have acquired any other residential property since the purchase of the second property. 5. Timely Disposal of First Residential Property: The first residential property, whether co-owned or separately owned, must be disposed of within six months after the purchase date for completed properties or the issue date of the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP)/Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC), whichever is earlier, for uncompleted properties. 6. Consistent Ownership in the Second Property: There should be no change of ownership in the second residential property at the time of selling each first residential property. 7. Value Comparison: The value of the second residential property must be less than the value of each of the first residential properties sold. 8. Timely Application for Refund: The application for the refund of ABSD must be submitted within six months after the date of sale of the first residential property. How to Apply for ABSD Refund Applying for the ABSD refund is a straightforward process through the e-Stamping Portal. Here are the steps: 1. Access the e-Stamping Portal:    - Select "Request."    - Choose "Apply for Assessment / Appeal."    - Opt for "Assessment (including remission and penalty)." 2. Document Stamping:    - If the document is stamped, select "Yes" and enter the Document Ref No.    - If not stamped, proceed to stamp the document by selecting "Stamping" > "Sale & Purchase – Purchase/Acquisition." 3. Form Submission:    - Complete the online form after entering the document details.    - Under "Supporting Documents," indicate "ABSD Concession for Single SC Seniors."    - Submit the form with the necessary details. 4. Required Supporting Documents:    - Copy of the exercised Option to Purchase/Sale and Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the second residential property.    - Copy of the exercised Option to Purchase/Sale and Purchase Agreement for the sale of the first residential property(s). By adhering to these steps and meeting the specified conditions, eligible single Singaporean citizens aged 55 and above can successfully apply for an ABSD refund on their second residential property. This initiative not only eases the financial burden for seniors but also encourages the efficient use of housing resources in Singapore. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Can I get an upfront remission of ABSD instead of paying ABSD first? Yes. Buyers of HDB flats or new EC units receive an upfront remission of Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD). This is primarily due to the HDB regulations that prohibit these buyers from owning other residential properties or mandate the disposal of their existing residential property within the specified timeframe. Can I appeal for a longer period to sell my first property because 6 months timeline is too short? No, you should start planning for the sale of your first property before you set sights to buy your second property. Engage a professional real estate agent to assist you in the timeline for sale and purchase.
