How much do property agencies charge in Singapore?
Commission is not fixed by law and is negotiated with your agent, usually as a percentage of the sale price or a fraction of a month's rent. Property type, lease length and whether each side has its own agent drive the rate; GST is added if the agency is GST-registered.

2% of price
Typical rate; negotiable
HDB resale, buyer's agent

How to choose a property agency
- Look up the agent on CEA's Public Register or the CEA@SG app. Searching by mobile number helps catch scammers using a real agent's name.
- Review their recent transactions on the register: how many HDB or private deals, and whether they acted for buyers, sellers or landlords.
- Negotiate commission and record it, including whether GST is included, in one of CEA's Prescribed Estate Agency Agreements before work starts.
- Ask whether the agent will co-broke. It widens exposure for sellers but changes how the commission is split.
- Remember an agent cannot represent both buyer and seller in the same transaction or collect commission from both.
Red flags
- Agent not on the CEA Public Register, or the phone number does not match the register.
- Asking you to pay deposits or option fees into the agent's personal account.
- Offering to act for both sides of the same deal.
- Refusing to put the commission in a prescribed agreement.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is your CEA registration number?
- What commission do you charge, and is GST included?
- Will you co-broke with other agents?
- How many similar transactions have you closed in the last two years?
Questions about property agencies in Singapore
How much commission does a property agent charge in Singapore?
There is no fixed or recommended rate; CEA leaves commission to negotiation. In practice, HDB resale sellers often pay their agent around 1% to 2% of the price and buyers about 1%, with 9% GST on top if the agency is GST-registered. Agree the rate in writing using a CEA prescribed agreement.
How do I check if a property agent is registered?
Search CEA's Public Register on the CEA website or the CEA@SG app by the agent's name, registration number or mobile number. It shows their agency and recent transactions. Scammers sometimes copy a real agent's name and photo, so check that the phone number you are dealing with matches the register.
Can a property agent represent both buyer and seller?
No. CEA rules prohibit dual representation: an agent acting for you cannot also represent and collect commission from the other party in the same transaction. Co-broking, where the buyer and seller each have their own agent, is allowed if agreed with your agent.
Do I need an agent to sell my HDB flat?
No. You can sell your HDB flat yourself through HDB's resale portal and process the transaction directly. Many owners still use agents for pricing, marketing and paperwork. If you go without one, budget time for viewings and negotiations, and appoint a lawyer for conveyancing.
