Behind The Property Notebook
Every article starts with one simple question.
"What would I want to know if I were buying this property myself?"
That simple question shapes every piece you'll find here.
Buying a property is one of life's biggest financial decisions, yet finding clear, trustworthy information isn't always easy. That's why I created The Property Notebook — a place where complex property topics are broken down into practical, easy-to-understand insights that help you understand the why behind every property decision. Whether you're buying your first home, planning your next upgrade, or exploring investment opportunities, my goal is to help you make informed property decisions with greater confidence.

A Little About My Journey
Property Consultant
Associate Director · PropNex Realty
I'm Rachel, a property consultant based in Singapore.
My work sits at the intersection of property, people and practical decision-making — helping clients navigate the considerations that come with buying, selling, leasing and investing in property.After graduating from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, I began my career at a leading integrated development in Singapore, where I gained experience in commercial property and leasing. Working there gave me a deeper understanding of tenant relationships, commercial positioning and what goes into managing and optimising retail assets. More importantly, it taught me to look at property not simply as a physical space, but as an asset shaped by its location, positioning and the wider environment around it.
I carry that perspective into my work today as a property consultant, advising clients across both residential and commercial property. Whether it's a home or an investment, I believe understanding the property itself is only part of the equation. The right decision comes from understanding how it fits into the bigger picture — and, ultimately, into your own goals.
What Shaped The Way I Work
Over time, I've learnt that good property advice isn't simply about knowing the market.
It's about knowing which questions to ask, what details matter, and how they fit into the bigger picture.
01
See The Bigger Picture
Property decisions rarely exist in isolation. The surrounding market, location, finances and future plans can all change how a property should be viewed.
02
Stay Curious
Every property, neighbourhood and client presents a different set of questions. I believe good advice starts with asking the right ones.
03
Keep Things Practical
There's a lot of information in property. My role is to help separate what's important from what's simply noise.
Recognition Along The Way
A few milestones along the way — and reminders of the trust placed in me by my clients.
Grateful for every milestone, and even more grateful for the people behind them.
When We Work Together
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every property decision is shaped by different priorities, circumstances and goals.
01
A Conversation First
Before looking at properties, I want to understand what you're actually trying to achieve.
02
Honest Perspectives
I'll share the opportunities, considerations and trade-offs as I see them — not just the parts that are easy to sell.
03
Decisions & Action
My role is to help you understand your options, make informed decisions and take the next step with clarity.
