For families considering a bigger HDB or a condo.

I help families in Singapore decide if upgrading makes sense — using the SAFE Framework

Most upgrade regrets don’t happen at purchase — they happen monthly.

Does This Feel Familiar

  • The family is growing, but the house feels too small

  • You’re worried the monthly commitment might become stressful

  • You’re unsure whether to upgrade now, later, or even at all

  • You don’t want an agent who only knows how to push you to buy

Most families don’t need pressure.
They need
one proper conversation to plan clearly.

Upgrading Is Not About Status

Upgrading is not about status.

For many of us, upgrading simply means:

  • More room for children

  • Space for parents

  • A home that supports family life — not stress

That’s why bigger HDBs are often part of the conversation, not just condos.

An upgrade should improve your life


not quietly pressure your finances every month

Why This Matters

Many families come to me feeling unsure, not because they don’t want to upgrade —
but because they’re afraid of making the wrong decision.

THE SAFE FRAMEWORK

Before any upgrade, I use the SAFE Framework to help families decide clearly — not emotionally.

SAFE is how I check whether an upgrade truly makes sense before committing.

S — Sustainable

Can your lifestyle sustain this comfortably, month after month?

If daily life feels tight or fragile, the upgrade isn’t sustainable.

A — Affordable

Do the numbers work beyond bank approval?

Affordable means living comfortably — not just qualifying on paper.

F — Financial Timeline

Does the timing of money and events line up properly?

OTP, completion, sale overlap, bridging, renovation — mistakes usually happen here.

E — Evidence-led

Advice guided by numbers, scenarios, and calm analysis — not hype or pressure.

Every upgrade decision must pass all four SAFE checks before moving forward.

I’m also:

  • Youth-at-risk mentor with MENDAKI
