Asked by
Dear AskGuru Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

We currently own a small office unit with two rooms available for rent. We are considering engaging your platform to assist in finding suitable tenants and would like to better understand the associated agent fees.

Could you kindly advise how your fee structure works for securing tenants? Specifically, we would appreciate details on the commission rates, payment terms, and any additional charges involved.

Thank you for your assistance. We look forward to your response.

This is a formal, corporate-style landlord who is methodical and process-driven. They wrote to AskGuru thinking it's a platform with its own agents — so you need to gently clarify you're an independent agent while smoothly pivoting to show you're exactly what they need.

Suggested Reply:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your message and for considering professional assistance in leasing your office unit.
Just to clarify — I am an independent licensed real estate agent operating on this platform, and I'd be happy to assist you directly in finding suitable tenants for your two rooms.
To address your questions on fee structure:
Commission Rate:
For commercial office rentals, the standard market rate is typically 1 month's gross rent per year of lease, or pro-rated accordingly for shorter tenancies. This is the prevailing industry norm in Singapore.
Payment Terms:
Commission is payable only upon successful signing of the tenancy agreement — there are no upfront fees charged to you at any stage.
Additional Charges:
There are no hidden fees or administrative charges. My service covers marketing, tenant sourcing, viewings, reference checks, and tenancy agreement coordination.
I work with an active database of corporate tenants and SMEs looking for small office spaces and would be glad to represent your unit professionally.
May I ask a few questions to better understand your requirements:

Where is your office unit located?
What is your preferred monthly rental for each room?
Do you have a preferred lease duration?

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and will ensure the process is smooth and transparent throughout.
Warm regards

You will need to engage the services of agents to help you advertise and secure tenants instead of paying PropertyGuru to advertise since this platform allows only licensed realtors in Singapore with paid subscription to put up advertisements.

Typical commission applicable for rental is 0.5month rent for every 1 year lease or part thereof secured. GST is applicable for agencies that are GST registered.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 15 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market. Check out the EdgeProp featured article on myself recently at https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/geryl-lim-leading-landed-real-estate-heart-hustle-and-harmony

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 15,900 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!
