Heartfelt Appreciation to Junhui Celious Matthew and Dillon from Let's Talk Property with Matthew & Dillon We would like to send a note of heartfelt appreciation to Matthew and Dillon for their excellent service throughout the entire process of our recent property transaction. Since our very... first meeting a year ago, they have been very forthcoming and honest by setting a clear and realistic plan for us through their experience. There was no overly optimistic projection from them and they respectfully advise us to think through before making the right and informed decision on our side. Everything that was planned was guided by the simple principle of whether it was realistic for us or not, which was the main reason we placed our trust in them since then. Practicality. To our surprise, we managed to sell our flat in a short period of time without much hassle. All this would not have been possible without their effort behind the scene, and constantly guiding us on what is the next step to take. Assurance. When we were searching for our new rental flat, they took action immediately when we told them we wished to secure a rental unit by the end of 2021, which was one month after OTP. We were lucky to secure a rental unit with long waiting list due to their efficiency. At the same time, they even drove us around show flats to hunt for our next house and as if all stars were aligned, we also secured our next house before the price increased in another one week’s time. All because of their efficiency and commitment, we were always given very prompt advice on what to expect and prepare for each step. Dedication. During our first month of rental stay, they would drop by to see if we need any help. Matthew even went the extra mile to help us move furniture, buy replacement light bulbs, help us fix etc. Commitment. Practicality, assurance, dedication and commitment. If these values are what you are looking for in your housing journey, they are the ones to deliver! This entire journey over the past year has been such a relaxing experience which was only possible with their help. To Matt & Dillon, we really appreciate all that you have done for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! 😊 Kayden & Annabelleread more

Obviously it's natural to be skeptical about anything you see on the Internet especially if it's something that involves huge amount of time and money. You probably have seen or heard from close friends or relatives about horrible real estate agents who is in for the $ but couldn't care less about... the financial toll it will be for your future,so they will keep pushing/upsell you to upgrade (particularly condominiums). Thank God we stumbled on letstalkproperty Facebook page. We're so grateful that we met them before other agents that we were considering. They work wonders and their team effort is unparalleled. They will plan out your finances and timeline "swee swee". They are also a good problem solver, from a last minute buyer back out to seller complicated extension requirements, they managed to handle the situation effectively. I'm working shifts, so believe me when I said this, they're literally available to assist your queries 24/7. Once I called them up at 3 in the morning while at work because of my concern due to the buyer last minute back out from the deal. Surprisingly they picked up and patiently answered my questions and explaining to me their plan of moving forward from it. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. When viewing houses, they insisted on driving us around to the locations and send us back home. They will make sure that we understand every process that is being done and what's the next step. To sum up ; no matter how newbie you are, you won't feel lost in any process. Everything will be planned according to your needs while ensuring you still have a safety net funds in place to tide through our rainy days.read more

A great Thank you to both Matthew & Dillon in making the transaction an easier and less stressful process with their knowledge and guidance. They are able to give genuine advise and recommendation in which we find them truly sincere and touched us when they would go beyond their scope to render... us assistance. Till now even after they have closed the deal, they would still send us messages to enquire how we are doing makes us feel that they are not treating us like clients but also friends. Will definitely recommend friends to both of them if they need the service.read more
