This is a free property agent checker for Singapore. Search any CEA-registered agent by name or registration number and check them against the public record: the registration we hold and the agency it sits under, what the agent has actually been recorded transacting, and how that record compares with every other agent working the same area and property type.
Registration on its own is a low bar. Every practising agent in Singapore must be CEA-registered, so registered tells you someone is permitted to work, not that they sell homes. Across the 1.34 million transaction records we hold since January 2017, drawn from CEA, URA and HDB data, 59% of registered agents recorded no sale in the 12 months to June 2026, and the busiest 20% of active agents handle 68% of all deals. Checking which group you are talking to takes one search and costs nothing.
Three steps, about two minutes.
Ask for the number before the second meeting. Every practising salesperson in Singapore must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies, and the number is the one unambiguous identifier: names repeat across 38,352 registered agents, numbers do not. It usually starts with R followed by digits and a letter, for example R012345A. Search either the name or the number in the box above, open the profile, and check the registration shown there matches what you were given. An agent who will not give you their number has answered the question.
On the profile, read four things. Completed sales separately from rentals, because a total blends two different jobs and 58% of all recorded activity is rentals. Which side the agent acted for, seller or buyer. Which towns, districts and property types the transactions cluster in. And how recent they are, because a lifetime total flatters an agent who was busy in a market that no longer exists.
Every profile carries an AgentScore from 0 to 100, built entirely from that record: sale-weighted volume, recency, market diversity and experience. The area rankings show who else works your town in your property type. Registration status itself is also checkable on CEA's own public register, and CEA remains the authority on who is registered today. If CEA's register and our data disagree, CEA is right.
For how to interpret what you find, including the patterns a "top producer" title can hide, see the five-step record check.
What each signal proves, and what it does not.
A record is evidence, not a verdict. Every signal below cuts in both directions, and the second column is the one most people skip.
| Signal | What it means | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| A current CEA registration | The person is permitted to practise, and a licensed estate agency holds their registration. | Any selling experience. 59% of registered agents recorded no sale in the 12 months to June 2026. |
| A large transaction count | Recorded activity. | Home sales. Totals mix sales and rentals, and leasing a unit is a different job from selling one. |
| Recent sales | The agent is active in today's market. | Active in your market. Check the town, the district and the property type before reading it as relevant. |
| Seller-side sales | Recorded experience marketing, pricing and negotiating on an owner's behalf. | Equivalent buyer-side experience, and the reverse holds too. |
| A concentrated area record | A specialist's record concentrates in a handful of towns; a generalist's spreads thin across many. | That the concentration matches your property type as well. Check both. |
| Unusually high volume under one name | An active operation. | That one person did all of it. A single name can carry a team's output, so ask which member handles your sale, then check that person. |
| A high AgentScore | A strong recorded track record relative to peers. | Anything an agent bought from us. No agent can pay to appear, to rank higher, or to have anything removed, and that is enforced in the database rather than promised in a policy. |
| No record at all | Nothing recorded in the period we cover. | Incompetence. Every agent starts at zero and some private-market transactions reach the record late. It does mean you would be hiring on promise rather than evidence. |
| A quoted commission rate | What this agent asks. | A standard. CEA does not set or cap commission and no legally fixed rate exists. Market norms sit near 1% per side on an HDB resale and 1% to 2% seller-side on a private resale, plus 9% GST if the agency is GST-registered. |
None of it measures how someone will behave once hired. Use the record to get to a shortlist of three, then interview them.
Two different questions. Use both.
CEA's public register is the authority on registration. It shows whether a named person is currently registered, their registration number, and the estate agency they are registered under. In Singapore the individual salesperson holds a registration while the estate agency holds the licence, which is why a search for an "agent licence" resolves to two different things. If CEA's register shows no current registration for the person in front of you, that is disqualifying.
What a registration register is not built to tell you: how many homes a particular agent has actually sold, whether those transactions were sales or rentals, which side of the deal they acted for, which towns they concentrate in, how recent any of it is, or how one agent compares with the 38,352 others. Those are performance questions.
What we add. We hold 1.34 million transaction records since January 2017, drawn from CEA, URA and HDB data, attach them to the agents recorded on them, and do the analysis you would otherwise do by hand: the sale versus rental split, seller side versus buyer side, area and property-type concentration, recency, and a single comparable AgentScore. Free, no sign-up, and no agent able to pay for placement.
If a name is missing here, that is about us, not them. If someone appears on CEA's register but not here, CEA is right and the gap is ours. A small number of profiles are also withheld on request, so an absence here is never evidence about a person's standing.
One thing neither source shows is what an individual agent charges. CEA collects commission data from estate agencies and publishes only aggregated, anonymised statistics, so per-agent fees do not appear on any register. Fees you have to ask for, which is why it helps to know the record of the person you are asking. Typical market rates are set out in our property agent commission guide.
Why checking matters more from 1 January 2027.
CEA has confirmed a currency requirement. From 1 January 2027 salesperson registration moves to a three-year cycle, and to renew, an agent must complete at least three qualifying transactions during that cycle or pass a refresher examination.
That rule draws the same distinction this page is built on: being registered and being active are two different things, and the difference is measurable. That is our reading of a published rule. CEA has not endorsed this site and we are not connected to it.
Two consequences for anyone hiring. First, after 2027 the answer to "is this person currently registered?" will carry some information about activity, where today it carries none. It is not a pure activity filter, because an agent who has not met the transaction bar can renew by passing a refresher examination instead, and a qualifying transaction under CEA's rule is not the same measure as a sale on our record. Second, and more usefully right now, between now and then registration alone tells you nothing about activity. The transaction record is the only thing that closes that gap. The full rule set is in our CEA 2027 guide.
Are you actually represented?
In the twelve months to May 2026 there were 24,326 HDB resale transactions, with 21,874 seller-side salesperson records and 14,612 buyer-side ones. So at most 60.1% of those transactions had an agent recorded on the buyer's side, against at most 89.9% on the seller's. Because co-broking can add rows to the record, the represented shares are ceilings and the unrepresented figure is a floor: at least 9,714 buyers completed a resale purchase with no salesperson recorded acting for them.
That is not automatically a problem. Buyers do complete without representation, sometimes deliberately through HDB's own portal. But be clear about what it means. If nobody is recorded on your side, the agent showing you the flat represents the seller's interests, not yours. Check which side the agent in front of you has spent their career on, and if an agent approached you, check them before the second meeting rather than after you sign.
What this checker cannot tell you.
Coverage stops at what is recorded. We publish registration and transaction records. What an agent charges, how fast they reply and how they negotiate are not in any government dataset.
The newest weeks are still filling. Government transaction data publishes with a lag, so the most recent period of any record is typically incomplete. Judge on a twelve-month window rather than on last month.
We do not show complaints or disciplinary action. CEA's own register and its published enforcement notices are the place for that. We would rather say plainly what we do not cover than let an absence of flags read as a clean record.
We are not the register. For registration status, CEA is the authority, and we encourage you to confirm there as well.
What we will not do is sell influence over any of it. Placement, ranking and AgentScore cannot be bought, agents cannot pay to have a record removed, and we are paid the same regardless of which agent you choose.
Get a second opinion before you commit.
Check the agent who approached you, then see the agents who have actually closed the most deals for your property type in your area, ranked on the same CEA record. No sign-up needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check a property agent in Singapore?
Ask for their CEA registration number, then search the name or the number in the box above and check that the registration on their profile matches. Real estate agent, property agent and salesperson describe the same regulated role in Singapore, and all of them must be registered with the Council for Estate Agencies. The profile shows the registration we hold, the agency it sits under, and the transactions the agent has been recorded on, split into sales and rentals, by side, area, property type and date. Confirm current registration status on CEA's own public register as well. The whole check is free.
Is there a free property agent checker in Singapore?
Yes, this is one. Search any of Singapore's 38,352 CEA-registered agents by name or registration number and see their registration, their recorded transaction history and their AgentScore from 0 to 100. There is no charge, no sign-up and no paywall, and no agent can pay to change what is shown. It is built on public government records rather than on agent marketing.
How do I check a property agent's license in Singapore?
In Singapore the two things are separate. The individual salesperson holds a CEA registration, usually starting with R followed by digits and a letter, for example R012345A. The estate agency they work for holds the licence. Search the person above and check the registration number on their profile against the one they gave you, then confirm status on CEA's own register. If someone cannot produce a registration number, treat that as the end of the conversation rather than an administrative detail.
How do I verify a property agent's track record?
Verify it against the transaction record rather than the pitch. Count completed sales rather than total transactions, because 58% of all recorded activity is rentals. Check those sales are recent, in your town or district, and in your property type. Check which side the agent acted for. Then compare against the field: 59% of registered agents recorded no sale in the 12 months to June 2026, and the busiest 20% of active agents handle 68% of all deals.
What if two agents have the same name?
Use the registration number to tell them apart. Names repeat across 38,352 registered agents; registration numbers do not. Search the number directly, or search the name and open each matching profile to check the registration and agency against the details your agent gave you. If the number on the profile is not the number you were given, you are looking at a different person and a different record.
What does it mean if an agent has no transactions on record?
It means there is no recorded evidence in the period we cover. It is not proof of incompetence. Every agent begins at zero, and some private-market transactions reach the record late. What it does mean is that you would be hiring on promise rather than on evidence, so either accept that consciously or ask what they can show you outside the record.
Can I check an agent from a specific agency, such as ERA or PropNex?
Yes. Every CEA-registered salesperson is covered regardless of which agency they belong to, and each profile shows the agency the person is registered under. You can also look at agency-level pages to see how a firm's agents compare in aggregate. Judge the individual first, though: the record you are hiring is the person's, not the brand's.
Does this check show complaints or disciplinary action against an agent?
No. We publish registration and transaction records, not disciplinary outcomes. CEA's own public register and its published enforcement notices are the place to look for that, and we would encourage anyone hiring an agent to check there as well. An absence of flags here should not be read as a clean record.
