It is cheeky.

It's 3 hours of free parking, the usual mall food and if you have kids it has a few geeky little computer shops and an outside playground (4th floor I think) that has a little water park. The Giant is the usual Giant food but has a decent array of western cleaning products.

I'll try and remember to ask my wife about it later.

If she knows of it, I'll give you her 'feedbacks'.

They also have reasonable choice of wine* and if you are lucky, the sushi they prepare in-house may turn pretty good.
The playground is one of the more decent water playgrounds in Singapore and if you go there on Sunday morning, practically deserted. Sometimes you have to call the security to come over to switch the power on.

*) although I can not recommend buying over there any more expensive wines as they are often temperature spoilt. I guess they are simply staying too long on the shelves.

Gonzales, any joy with the direct sale or you resorted to an agent eventually?

I got zero traction marketing it myself. The best I got was nosey neighbours with no intention of buying dropping in during our open houses to have a gawk.

We used several agents in the end (open listing) & it sold to our satisfaction in 4 weeks.
We agreed a 1percent the commission which is ok for us.

thanks for the feedback/closure. I've had the same thought myself if/when we eventually sell up but wondered if it will work in practice

Amazing! Ofcourse being a full time agent means thats your income and you live and die by it. But if you are part time agent then thats cool money if you can click like even one deal in a month. There are lots of people/jobs in Singapore that dont really commit full time on their day jobs.
