Nick Tan is a real estate salesperson with Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) Pte Ltd, a real estate agency he co-founded in 2016 together with like-minded partners, which today has more than 1,000 active salespersons serving different real estate sectors in Singapore. He is a recipient of a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) scholarship and graduated from the National University of Singapore with an Honours (2nd Upper) Degree in Chemical Engineering in 2007, before completing his SAF bond as an Artillery officer and moving into real estate full time.
Nick holds the Certificate in REA (Real Estate Agency), described as the highest qualification for a real estate practitioner in Singapore, and is one of the few salespersons in Singapore to attain it. In 2014 he founded a boutique real estate agency, Property Avenue Pte Ltd, focused on both local and overseas real estate investment opportunities, before co-founding SRI in 2016. He has also been featured in CEAnergy, a newsletter published by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA).
Nick works across HDB, private condominium/apartment and landed residential property, as well as commercial and industrial property, assisting clients with buying, selling and renting. He has represented clients through first-time home purchases, HDB-to-private upgrading journeys, and property portfolio rebalancing, and offers an informal coffee consultation to share his outlook on current market conditions. His client testimonials frequently mention responsiveness, clear communication and results achieved even in difficult market conditions, including record sale prices and completed transactions within tight timelines.
Nick Tan's path into real estate began with a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) scholarship and an Honours (2nd Upper) Degree in Chemical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, completed in 2007. After serving his SAF bond as an Artillery officer, Nick left a well-paying civil service career to pursue real estate full time — a decision built on his belief in accumulating wealth through property investment.
Over the years, Nick has built up both practical experience and formal credentials. He holds the Certificate in REA (Real Estate Agency), described as the highest qualification available to real estate practitioners in Singapore, placing him among a select group of salespersons to have attained it. In 2014, he founded Property Avenue Pte Ltd, a boutique agency focused on both local and overseas real estate investment. In 2016, he went on to co-found Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) Pte Ltd together with like-minded partners — a firm that has since grown to more than 1,000 active salespersons across Singapore's real estate sectors. Nick has also been featured in CEAnergy, a newsletter published by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA).
Nick's client testimonials, gathered across numerous property transactions, point to a consistent set of themes: clear and frequent communication, patience with first-time buyers and expats, and a track record of results even in difficult market conditions. One client recounted switching to Nick after five weeks of inactivity with another agent, only for their unit to sell within three weeks of engaging him. Others describe achieving record sale prices within tight timelines, and navigating complications such as ethnic quota restrictions on HDB sales. Expat clients have also highlighted his patience in clarifying the local buying and renting process for those new to Singapore.
Nick's services span the full range of residential and commercial transactions — HDB flats, private condominiums and apartments, landed property, and commercial and industrial property, for both sale and rental. He works with several distinct client groups: first-time buyers unsure where to start, HDB owners planning an upgrade to private property, and existing property investors looking to rebalance their portfolios amid shifting market conditions. For those simply wanting an informal read on the market, Nick offers to share his perspective on current conditions and outlook over a cup of coffee.
Nick also reviews new development launches, aiming to give prospective buyers information before they commit to a purchase. His portfolio of past transactions spans a range of Singapore developments, reflecting his work across different segments of the property market, from HDB estates to new private condominium launches.
Clients and prospective buyers or sellers can reach Nick directly by phone or email to arrange a consultation, whether that's a formal discussion about buying, selling or renting, or an informal coffee chat about the current market.
