As the most powerful industry representative body for salespeople in the real estate industry within Singapore, SEAA acts as an unifying voice for the needs of this group.
“SEAA’s dedication to all salespeople is evident in its efforts to advocate for fair and equitable practices within the industry. In particular the Channel partner for dispute resolution, Singapore Mediation Centre] has filled an important gap in the market by addressing commission-related conflicts that are outside those of Council for Estate Agencies’ area of responsibility,” says Wang.
