"A Dream Come True for Our Growing Family"
"Denise transformed our property and educational dreams into reality. After selling our 3-bedroom EC and upgrading to a 5-bedroom freehold condo, not only did we gain substantial space for our family of six, but we also saw incredible financial growth - a $400k profit in just 3 years. Best of all, our child was admitted into Holy Innocents, a top school we had our sights on. Denise's strategic approach and dedication made all the difference!"

Most Parents Do 3 Things To Get Their Child Into A Good Primary School
They buy a property within 1km
They pray
They panic when out-balloted
Here's the problem. Living close doesn't guarantee a spot anymore.
And if your child doesn't get in, you could be stuck with a property you sunk a lot in for — losing $300K or more with no backup plan.
It happened to Mr. Tan's family.
His daughter lived just 500m from Kong Hwa School. She didn't get in.
Their next three choices — Geylang Methodist, Tanjong Katong, Haig Girls' — all oversubscribed too.
In the end, they could only apply to Marymount Convent, which is 10km away!

Typical property agents will help you buy a home near your target school. That's it. No backup plan. No exit strategy.
If your child doesn't get in, you're stuck.
🏡
What I do instead is outside the scope of a typical agent — I go the extra mile to help you achieve that dream admission and reduce the risk involved.
My Tested-And-Proven Property Stepping Stone Strategy (PS3)
Here’s how it works:
Understand what schools you want
to get into and what properties you are currently considering
Propose well-valued properties
within your budget (yes, moving close still helps but it's not what you think)
Backup plans before you buy
even if you don't get in (making sure you don't lose money and still can exit and profit)
Strategies for admission
that are specific to your school of choice (different schools require different things, and I know what they are)
This proven strategy has a 99% success rate
Including admissions to top schools like Nan Hua Primary, Nanyang Primary and Maha Bodhi School.
School Admission + Property Profits.
Real Families. Real Outcomes.
So families like yours always win.

ABOUT ME
Who is
Denise Tan?
Over the past decade, my journey in real estate has been dedicated to helping over 500 clients realize their property dreams — and position their families strategically for the future.
But I didn’t enter this industry with advantages.
In 2012, I left a stable corporate career and had to rebuild from the ground up. In 2015, I lost everything I had saved. That experience reshaped how I view property — not as transactions, but as structured wealth-building.
In 2018, I began applying disciplined strategy to my own portfolio. Over six years, my partner and I grew it from $1M to $6.3M through intentional asset progression and timing — not speculation.
Today, I bring that same clarity and structure to the families I advise.
My clients have seen their children enter prestigious schools — not by chance, but through planning. They gain clarity on the exact steps to take to secure an advantage while building appreciating property assets at the same time.
My promise is simple: to provide you with a 'Tan Upon Ten' (10/10) service that goes beyond the norm.
I don't just help you buy a property.
I help you position your family for long-term security.
Let's transform your real estate goals into a structured plan — and ensure you're always one step ahead.

What My Clients Say
Trusted by homeowners and savvy property investors across Singapore
Since Tampines is an older estate, we are not looking at a resale HDB flat because after a HDB crosses its 40 year mark there will be a steep drop year on year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does your strategy differ from typical real estate agents?
Unlike typical agents who only help you move within 1km, I know what truly helps get your child admitted. I also have backup plans if admission fails to minimize your risk.
Can you guarantee my child's admission to our preferred school?
While I can't offer a 100% guarantee of admission, my strategies significantly boost the chances. With my tailored approach, many families have seen success in getting their children into top schools. I strive to maximize your child’s admission chances through detailed planning and strategy.
What kind of properties do you recommend?
It depends on your goals, but my focus is creating safety nets and reducing risk to an absolute minimum.
