The Official Property Agent Thread ~

The support depends on your agency and team leader. You have to choose carefully.

Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) requires those who are holding another job to get their employer's approval first, before becoming property agents.

New rule could lead to fewer housing agents, Property Agents, Singapore Property Guides & Articles - STProperty

The barrier to entry is relatively low so there's lots of agents. It's very competitive.

When we say barrier of entry is low, it means anyone can pass the exams easily and join the industry.
A lot of agents joined before cea was formed and then the ceha and res was very easy.
But today the exams are very much harder to pass, so it seems the barrier has gone up.

Ultimately, an agent is considered self employed, whether u have a fantastic agency or team leader, u still have to work hard. But of course learn from a good mentor too.

As for agents not making good money, its a 90-10 rule. Out of 100, 10 will be exceptionally good.

Can I know did you take the CEHA?

And you comparing CEHA exam to the current exam and saying CEHA is easy?!!!!!

Are you an agent? What is your statement based on ? You taken BOTH EXAMS ?

I am very sure all those who had taken and pass the CEHA exams will be offended by what you wrote.

Partnership with Wealth & Estate Planner

A possible option is work with a wealth & estate planner to co-broke for mortgage insurance and client referral. Value adds to your range of services as a property agent.

I have taken ceha before in 2004. And i have also taken the ceha in 2012.
I can be an agent if i register with an agency.

I am very sure those who had taken ceha last time and now will tell u the difference.
The reason you think that ceha then and now is still same standard is because if you taken then you are a novice and if you take now you are more experienced and a practicing agent.

I have looked at the res papers before cea was formed and this year's cea. Can pass the paper doesn't mean its easier, its because i know about the industry because i practise. But to a novice then and now, the standards have gone up by a lot.

And if you still think ceha and res nowadays are not as hard, then cea will read this and improve the barrier even further which also means that agents still think the exams are easy and something which cea does not like to read.

I'm not sure how hard hard CEHA and RES was last time, but for me I only managed to get the license at my 3rd attempt.

According to my father who has been in the industry for 30 years, license back then was easy to get, many even practise without a license in those days.
