REAL ESTATE TODAY

IN early April 2026, I traveled to Singapore on a business trip to engage with my investors and explore new opportunities in the region.

One of the highlights of my visit was a tour of Dempsey Hill with my esteemed friend Mr. Jeffrey Foo, former president of the Institute of Estate Agents Singapore, president of Jeff Realty, a respected realtor since 1980, and currently a Certified International Property Specialist lecturer in Asia-Pacific.
