That approach has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, Alex was recognised at PropNex\u2019s Leaders and Achievers Gala, where he received both the Rising Millionaire award and the Top Producer award. Yet, despite these milestones, his perspective remains grounded. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a business, it\u2019s a career,\u201d he said. \u201cHow you build it is very important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mindset was shaped early on. Instead of choosing a path based purely on potential earnings, Alex made a deliberate decision based on what mattered most to him. \u201cI realised relationships are very important to me,\u201d he shared. \u201cSo I chose something where I can build them, not risk losing them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That decision set the foundation for a career built on trust, consistency, and long-term client relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h3>Table of contents<\/h3><ul><li><a href=\"#h-starting-from-the-ground-up\" data-level=\"2\">Starting from the ground up<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-growing-through-early-challenges\" data-level=\"3\">Growing through early challenges<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-a-relationship-first-approach-shaped-by-real-experiences\" data-level=\"2\">A relationship-first approach, shaped by real experiences<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-navigating-complex-upgrades-with-precision\" data-level=\"2\">Navigating complex upgrades with precision<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-tailoring-strategies-to-each-client\" data-level=\"2\">Tailoring strategies to each client<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-standing-out-through-patience-and-honesty\" data-level=\"2\">Standing out through patience and honesty<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-showing-up-when-it-matters-most\" data-level=\"2\">Showing up when it matters most<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-experience-that-comes-from-doing\" data-level=\"2\">Experience that comes from doing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-adapting-with-the-market\" data-level=\"2\">Adapting with the market<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-connect-with-alex-zhan\" data-level=\"2\">Connect with Alex Zhan<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-from-the-ground-up\"><b>Starting from the ground up<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/alex-zhan-agent-success-story.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96321\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than entering the market head-on, Alex (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yourhomemavens?igsh=N3Y5czE3MWQ1NnZl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@yourhomemavens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) began his journey as a personal assistant. For six months, he immersed himself in the backend of the business, observing how deals were structured and how communication was handled.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phase proved to be critical. Looking back, he shared that not every agent gets the chance to see what happens behind the scenes, and that early exposure helped him better understand how to communicate effectively with both clients and fellow agents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon after, he moved into the rental market, where he spent about two years building his confidence and sharpening his skills. From there, he transitioned into sales, focusing primarily on HDB homes \u2013 particularly helping clients upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, his role evolved beyond simply facilitating transactions. Instead, he began helping clients plan their housing journey well into the future. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about buying or selling now,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about planning for the next phase of life, even retirement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the majority of Alex\u2019s clients include HDB upgraders, right-sizers, first-time buyers, and families planning their next move based on changing lifestyle or financial needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; width: 350px !important; box-shadow: 0px 2px 12px rgb(11 17 52 \/ 15%); border-radius: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/property-value-widget?contentSource=insider-blog&amp;contentId=alex-zhan-on-building-a-career-grounded-in-people-not-just-property\" width=\"350\" height=\"370\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-growing-through-early-challenges\"><b>Growing through early challenges<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like many in the industry, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alexzhanzjy\/?_rdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">faced his own challenges early on, especially when it came to communication. At first, engaging with clients from different backgrounds felt daunting. Speaking with individuals older than him, or professionals such as doctors and lawyers, required a level of confidence that took time to build. \u201cYou may think you\u2019re an extrovert, but it\u2019s different when you need to speak professionally,\u201d he shared.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, his mentors stepped back and allowed him to handle appointments on his own. While it felt uncomfortable at first, that independence accelerated his growth. \u201cI realised it\u2019s actually not that bad,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re too guided at the start, it may not help you in the long run.\u201d As a result, his confidence improved, and the range of clients he could connect with expanded significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-relationship-first-approach-shaped-by-real-experiences\"><b>A relationship-first approach, shaped by real experiences<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As his career progressed, Alex\u2019s focus remained firmly on building relationships \u2013 and over time, real-life experiences deepened that commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he started in the northern part of Singapore, his work now spans across the island. Still, he makes it a point to stay closely connected with his clients, often checking in with them regularly. \u201cI remember how old their kids are, what their plans are,\u201d he shared. \u201cI follow them along their journey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, clients are not treated as one-time transactions. Instead, they are guided through different life stages, whether it is upgrading, right-sizing, or planning ahead. At the same time, Alex is mindful of the emotional weight that comes with property decisions. With rising prices, stress levels among buyers can increase. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about the price,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s about making them comfortable with the decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This people-first approach was reinforced through meaningful client experiences. One particularly impactful case involved a client who was battling cancer while raising two children. Over nearly a decade, Alex supported her through multiple housing transitions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe was doing everything for her children,\u201d he recalled. \u201cThat made me realise this job is not just about problem solving, it\u2019s about life.\u201d Initially, she planned to move from one 3-room flat to another. However, after assessing her situation, Alex suggested opting for a fully renovated unit instead. This reduced the need for additional cash outlay and avoided the stress of renovation. Later, he assisted her again when she upgraded to a 5-room flat. Through this long-term journey, a deeper understanding of what clients truly need, beyond just a house, was developed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, his interest in interior design allows him to offer practical suggestions, helping clients better visualise and optimise their spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-navigating-complex-upgrades-with-precision\"><b>Navigating complex upgrades with precision<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/alex-zhan-agent-success-story-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96322\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another standout case involved a homeowner upgrading from a 4-room HDB flat to a cluster landed property.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, timing was critical. The sale and purchase had to be carefully aligned to avoid incurring Additional Buyer\u2019s Stamp Duty (ABSD), while also matching the buyer\u2019s timeline. \u201cA lot of HDB owners don\u2019t realise how important timing is,\u201d Alex explained. \u201cIf you don\u2019t plan properly, it can cost you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the complexity, the process was structured smoothly. The flat was sold at around S$488,000, and the new property was purchased for approximately S$2.3 million. Even with the longer handover period typical of cluster homes, the timeline was managed well enough to allow for renovations before moving in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Alex, successful transactions are not just measured by price alone, but by how smoothly the entire process is managed. Over the years, he has handled multiple record-setting transactions and has also successfully sold properties within as quickly as one day to one month, depending on the market conditions and positioning strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of this comes down to how he markets a home. Rather than focusing only on the asking price, Alex places strong emphasis on helping buyers understand the long-term value of the property and addressing concerns upfront before they become objections. Whether it involves timeline concerns, renovation costs, future resale potential, or financing worries, he believes buyers make decisions more confidently when they fully understand what they are stepping into.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tailoring-strategies-to-each-client\"><b>Tailoring strategies to each client<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d4bb9ab6-7003-4b2a-a8eb-7657ac705a5c-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to advising clients, Alex takes a highly personalised approach. \u201cThere\u2019s no one fixed strategy,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery case is different.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, whether a client should sell first or buy first depends on their financial position and priorities. Clients who are particular about feng shui may be encouraged to secure their next home first, as finding the right unit can take time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if the current home presents pressing issues, such as poor surroundings or difficult neighbours, selling first may be more practical. \u201cI always look at their finances and comfort level,\u201d he added. \u201cThe plan must suit them, not me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This consultative approach is also why many of his clients seek him out during transitional stages of life \u2013 whether they are upgrading after starting a family, downsizing after their children move out, or entering the market for the very first time. Instead of applying a generic formula, Alex focuses on structuring timelines, finances, and housing options around what makes the most sense for that specific household.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-standing-out-through-patience-and-honesty\"><b>Standing out through patience and honesty<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/alex-zhan-agent-success-story-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96324\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most consistent pieces of feedback Alex receives is about his patience. \u201cNot many agents will take the time to explain everything,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I make sure my clients understand before I move on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From timelines to financing and property comparisons, each step is carefully explained. Clients are also kept updated throughout the process, including feedback after viewings and market response.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, Alex places strong emphasis on honesty. \u201cI\u2019m not a yes agent,\u201d he shared. \u201cOnly a true friend tells you the reality of life.\u201d Rather than overpromising, he provides realistic advice \u2013 even if it is not what clients initially hope to hear. This helps them stay grounded and make informed decisions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-showing-up-when-it-matters-most\"><b>Showing up when it matters most<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"cb-youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\"  title=\"Client Testimonial - Sharon &amp;  Jiale\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w90aXayYkT8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.99.co\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This commitment to sincerity is reflected in the effort he puts into each case. In one instance, a client reached out late in the evening. Despite the timing, Alex arranged to meet them at 10:30pm, and the discussion continued until 1:30am.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client had previously met several agents, including top performers, but felt that their concerns were not fully addressed. What stood out to them was not just the information Alex provided, but the time he took to walk through every detail patiently, from their options and constraints to what each step of the process would look like.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also makes it clear that his approach remains consistent, regardless of who the client is. Whether it is a referral, a new lead, or even someone close to him, the same level of effort is given. There is no difference in how he shows up for them. For clients, whether they are first-time buyers, upgraders, or investors, this mindset can make a meaningful difference. Because at the end of the day, beyond the numbers and transactions, what truly stands out is the way the journey is guided \u2013 with clarity, patience, and a genuine focus on people.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experience-that-comes-from-doing\"><b>Experience that comes from doing<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/alex-zhan-agent-success-story-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96325\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the years, Alex has completed close to 300 residential transactions, primarily involving HDB sales and purchases. While training and company support play a role, much of his expertise comes from hands-on experience. As he puts it, some aspects of the job simply cannot be learned through theory alone, they come from going through the process repeatedly and understanding how different situations unfold.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importantly, he has also gone through his own property journey. After purchasing a BTO flat in 2015 for about S$300,000, he sold it in 2022 for close to S$600,000. In the same year, he upgraded to a resale executive condominium for around S$1.2 million, which is now estimated to be worth about S$1.45 million. Because of this, the financial and emotional aspects of property decisions are something he understands firsthand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having personally gone through upgrading, financing considerations, and market timing decisions himself, Alex is able to relate closely to the concerns many homeowners face today \u2013 especially HDB owners navigating their next move amid rising prices and changing market conditions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adapting-with-the-market\"><b>Adapting with the market<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the market evolves, Alex continues to adapt his approach.
