What to Look Out when you're Renting a Unit, find out more Here

Pricing:

This process generally begins with a determination of a reasonable asking price. Your RAY International agent can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms, and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold or rented at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
And RAY International has been known for this! Our closing speed was 15 mins from viewing and we could do that for you too!

Marketing:

The next step is a marketing plan. Your RAY International agent can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the saleability of the property. Marketing includes the exposure of your property to other real estate agents and the public.
In Singapore, over 60% of real estate sales are co-broking situation. That is a real estate agent other than your RAY International agent will bring in the potential tenant. RAY International agents always co-broke with any practicing agent in the industry as long as they are ethical and professional. There are many cases where some real estate agents will use other agent's properties as a comparison for their own gain.

Your RAY International agent acts as your personalized marketing coordinator and disbursing any relevant information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing System or other networks. Certain confidential information will be withheld to protect our owners.
Most importantly, your RAY International agent will protect your interest and always abide the code of ethics during the whole process of marketing your property.

Advertising:

Advertising is always a big part of marketing. The choice of media and frequency of advertising depends a lot on the property and specific market. Newspaper advertising generates phone calls to your RAY International real estate agent but statistically has minimum effectiveness in renting a specific property. Overexposure of a property in any media may also give tenants the impression the property is distressed or the Landlord is desperate. Your real estate agent will know when, where and how to advertise your property.
There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. Studies show that over 75% of real estate transactions are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends and family, and personal contacts. Our strength is also our other vast advertising areas such as direct mailing, flyers, free Internet listing and MLS listing.

Security:

When the property is marketed with RAY International agent, he/she can help because you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Our RAY White agents will generally pre-screen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
Keeping your property locked, windows closed and switches off are also important after each viewing. We take care of your property like our own when you list with RAY International.

Negotiating:

The negotiation process deals with much the same issues for both tenants, and the Landlords, as noted above under the renting process. Your agent can assist you objectively and evaluate every tenant's proposal without compromise. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of documentations, inspections, and financing - a lot of possible pitfalls.
Your RAY International agent can assist you in a win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.

Monitoring, Renegotiating and Closing:

Between the initial Letter of Intent, Tenancy Agreement and Closing, some questions may arise. This can be a disaster like 2nd or 3rd viewing for most Landlords. Your RAY International agent is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing stage.

How does a RAY International Real Estate agent get paid?

RAY International Real Estate agents are paid through the rental commission paid by the Landlord when the rental transaction closes. Agents have expenses and financial obligations just like you, so it is always to your mutual benefit if you choose the right real estate agent and stick with that person. Our RAY International agent will always respect our client's loyalty and respond with a sincere commitment to you.

Our Rental commission rate is generally half a month commission for every year lease agreement secured. But many owners have paid us two (2) months commission for two (2) year leases when we are able to secure a tenant for them in a short time or at a higher rental rate.

Real estate rental transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $5,000. If you are renting out your property, would you be concerned about the care taking of your property by the tenant?

Finding a tenant might be easy but getting the right tenant who can take good care of your property and ensuring your property will be in the same condition minus the wear and tear situation, is not that easy. This, you can trust in the hands of a RAY International agent.

Considering the small upside cost and that large downside risk, it would be a mistake to consider a deal in real estate without the qualified professional assistance of a real estate agent especially a RAY International Specialist!!
