FAQ:

Do you also Lease out HDB and Commercial Properties?

Yes We Do. Please note if you own a HDB and relocate to Overseas. You will need to Appoint a POA to sign the documents on your behalf. Even though if you can do E-signing, HDB still wants the Home Owner to appoint a POA to have a point of contact when comes to emergencies. It is not compulsory if you own a Private Property and you want to lease or sell your property.

Best luck to you!
