Request for a Handyman

Who is a Handyman?

As per Wikipedia, A handyman, also known as a handyperson or handyworker is a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home. These tasks include trade skills, repair work, maintenance work, are both interior and exterior. Specifically, these jobs could be light plumbing jobs such as fixing a leaky toilet or light electric jobs such as changing a light fixture.

Where to find a Handyman…

  • Do a Google search.
  • Ask your neighbor, friends or relatives to refer one.
  • There are other websites like craigslist and yelp where you can find a Handyman
There are several challenges involved with the above search.
  1. Many a times you could be referring to an older post, so the Handyman’s contact details could be incorrect or they are not providing the service anymore.
  2. You could just waste your time by calling or emailing a handful of Handyman who would simply respond not to you.
  3. The Handyman you contacted may be too far away from you and does not wish to come over to your place.
  4. What if you don’t get served the way you wanted and he could be speaking a language that you do not understand.
  5. You could be on a budget, but contacting every Handyman on the search engine and conveying your budget could also be a painful task.

Hunting for a house to rent or buy in Singapore?

How easy it is to find a house to rent or buy in Singapore?

If you are trying to find a house to rent or buy in Singapore, you will most probably start with searching on the internet, then short-listing the Ads and calling on the listed phone number. Most likely you will end up with property agents picking up your calls. The property agents will then set up meetings with you to show you around several houses in Singapore. When I moved to Singapore in 2011, I had to visit 24 different houses with 11 different property agents before I could get to the one of my choice. This was a whole month activity and off course tiring. In Singapore, generally you will have to go via a property agent to do all the legal work for you.

Why does it take so much of effort?

The property advertisements on the internet do not have complete information or details that answers your needs. For example, I was looking for a house with bigger living room with a balcony and a space to setup my own gym. A typical Ad is very generic that says how big the house is, the number of rooms and bathrooms with some pictures. Most of the time, we go by the price and if the pictures are impressive we call the advertiser or rather the property agent. If you are not lucky, you will most likely be disappointed when you visit the house for one or more reasons. For example, there could be parking for only one car while you needed a second one for your wife’s car. This story could be similar with the rest of the Ads you have short-listed to view with a property agent. In the end, after a long vested time you find your ideal house. When you think about it, all you needed was someone who could understand all your criteria and show you a house that exactly met them rather than showing you 20 different houses that does not meet your needs.

What is the solution?

StringsSG provides a platform where you can post your housing needs with a few clicks and set your own criteria like budget, location, urgency, house or room sizes or anything you want in your house, there are no limitations. Your request will most likely get multiple responses from multiple property agents. To keep it simple and easy for you, StringsSG has the algorithm and artificial intelligence to sort the responses based on the match percentage of how much a property agent can meet your criteria. You also get to view the ratings and review of the property agent on his profile. Previous success stories of the property agent may also be listed on his or her profile. In the end, you choose the property agent you like the most.

To conclude, if you wish to save time on your house hunting, your only action is to:

  • Submit your request on StringsSG with the list of all your criteria.
  • View responses of the property agents with higher match percentage to your criteria.
  • You may choose to initiate conversation with multiple property agents using the integrated chat system.
  • Before finalizing on the agent, make sure to view his or her profile ratings and reviews.
