Review of Singapore Property site - Propertyguru.com.sg


If you are looking forward to purchasing a property in Singapore you might be wondering what options you have available to compare rates, prices, and the conditions of the different areas neighborhoods. Additionally you might also want to check out properties for rent according to your desired designated location, budget, bedroom and size. One of site to do all that and more is Propertyguru.com.sg The following will be a review detailing Property Guru’s features, performance and overall capabilities.

Layout and Usability

Property Guru is set up in a relatively straightforward manner. The site provides options not only for properties for sale, but also places to rent and an overseas option for those potential investors overseas who are wanting to buy properties in Singapore.

There are also some blog articles and video content featured on the site, however they are not the central focus with more emphasis being placed upon the search engine and interaction with the proper experts referred to as “gurus” on the site. Although the site design is easy to understand and fully functional it is somewhat dated but all in all it is safe and easy for anyone to use.

Features

One of the biggest selling points of the site, is as the name suggests being able to connect with gurus and sales agents. Although this is a great idea in theory, this aspect could have been better executed and better organized. Especially for those of you who are a first time property buyers , this selection can get overwhelming. There is no rating immediately available to view for all the agents you are looking at. This then forces you to go check each individual page to see who might be the best fit for you. With the name Property Guru you would think that this section would be better organized, not to say that is completely non-resourceful ,however without any proper reviews or immediate available details of each agent showing what distinguishes them from another, it can take some time to actually go through the listings.

Final verdict

If you are looking to purchase a property in Singapore, Property Guru is a sufficient option however it doesn't fully deliver to its full potential. Although the option to speak to particular property agents is available, there is no immediate quality filter in place so you will have to find through others means to figure out how good of reputation the person you're seeking advice from is. This could easily have been done by Property Guru by adding a user rating system but none is immediately available. It's definitely not so easy to find  a condo for families with a help of this site. Although there are a number of good features and the site itself is straightforward, it could be better organized to guide the visitor in a logical manner. There is a section dedicated to blog post and even market news, however this section could be more visible to help inform users on tips and trending topics regarding property in Singapore.

Final Verdict 3/5
