Frequently Asked Questions

HomeSpace is a real estate search engine developed by The Real Group to serve the Singapore market. Think of it as an online marketplace where we connect buyers and sellers together.

No. HomeSpace caters only to homes for sale. We believe that the profile of buyers and renters differ significantly and hence are making all effort to cater to each group's wants and needs distinctly. To find (and list) homes for rent, visit www.rentspace.sg.

HomeSpace recognizes the inherent problem of newspaper classified ads and other real estate search engines online. While most of these alternatives focus on making money for themselves (hence the high advertising rates in the newspaper classifieds and numerous irrelevant and annoying advertisements on other real estate search websites), HomeSpace focuses on making life easier for you, the buyer or seller of real estate. We give you what you want without all the unnecessary "fluff". Check out our overview to find out more.

The best part is that we made HomeSpace so user-friendly and intuitive that anyone, even those who are not entirely familiar with using the Internet can find a home easily on our website. Just enter a locational input (e.g. zip code, address, building name etc.) in the search field, select one the suggestions that are presented in the drop-down box and start exploring! You can also click on the map's home icons to see the list of amenities within the vicinity. When you find what you are interested in, contact the seller by sending him or her a query SMS.

Sellers usually respond to buyer queries within 24 hours. Everytime you send a lead, you will also receive an SMS with the seller's contact number so that you can call the seller directly, if they do not respond.

HomeSpace maintains and showcases the largest database of real estate listings in Singapore. We are also continually investing top dollar in our marketing efforts to ensure that HomeSpace becomes and stays a household name. With our unique approach to serving the true needs of buyers and sellers, we are confident that the number of listings and viewership will continue to grow exponentially.

Our listings come from home owners wanting to sell their houses and real estate agents helping other home owners to do so.

Yes we are! Home owners and real estate agents are always on the move. We realize that they too are busy people with busy schedules so much so that they may not always be able to answer a random phone call or reply emails soon enough. SMS provides sellers with the real-time instant knowledge that the SMS is from a qualified lead, while giving them the freedom to respond to you at their most convenient time.

Of course it's free! We're trying to help you out here aren't we?

HomeSpace offers you the peace of mind to list your homes quickly and easily via SMS on a superior platform while the system works to deliver qualified leads directly to you on your mobile phone via the same medium. (Of course you can still list directly on the website.) Unlike other real estate search engine websites, you don't have to keep returning to the website to manage or view your listings (you will only need to do so to post new listings). In other words, just post them once, and we'll do the rest!

HomeSpace utilizes the power of the Internet to reach out to the masses.

Listing a home on HomeSpace is as easy as Z–A–P (Zip code – floor Area – Price). Unlike other real estate search engine websites that require you to manually input all the home details (e.g. address, zip code, amenities, condominium facilities etc.), HomeSpace automates this entire process for you using the ZAP information you provided. Yes, it's that easy.

Note that for a listing to be successfully uploaded on HomeSpace, all we actually really need is the home's zip code; a unique geographical code that our SmartPins™ technology will use to retrieve and display all the locational details associated with the home. We do however want to promote the culture of sellers providing ZAP because the fact is, the more information buyers know, the more qualified they are as leads when they contact you.

You can list either via SMS or directly on the HomeSpace website. Listing via SMS allows you to remain as mobile as you are while listing directly on the website allows you to put up photos and key in additional information such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Haven't you heard? HomeSpace is a completely FREE service!

You should respond as soon as possible. Make it a habit to catch buyers at the point in time when their interest level is still high and your property is still on their mind.

Our goal is to provide you with qualified leads that would hopefully result in you closing more deals. However, for a prospective buyer to be a "qualified lead", they must first be educated with as much information on your property as possible before hand, so that they don't end up contacting you and wasting your time asking questions that you could have otherwise provided on the website. In fact, many buyers who are not given enough details the first time round don't even bother contacting the seller to find out more. Why? Because there are TOO MANY similar listings out there that provide too few and skimpy details. None of them stand out.

Excite your prospective buyers by putting up as much information as you can. Pictures, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and price range are the pieces of information we can't generate on your behalf but you can.

We want to ensure that property listings uploaded on HomeSpace are genuine listings from genuine sellers, not "bogus" or "fake" listings from people who have nothing else better to do but spam our system. Mobile phone validation literally reduces the spamming by 99.99%.

An easier approach to avoid this hassle is to simply sign up for an account with us. You will only need to validate your mobile phone once (during sign up), after which, just log into your account and start adding listings or contacting other sellers like how you normally would, but this time, without the need to validate your mobile phone number anymore.

There is no limit to how many listings you can put up! However, to ensure that listings on HomeSpace are kept up-to-date, each listing you post expires after 30 days. After which, you can repost the listing if the home has not yet been sold.
