About
About Me
Over the past 20 years, I've helped hundreds of investors, homeowners, and business owners make smarter decisions about property, financing, and energy costs. Often all three at once.
My career started in a rather different place. Nine years as a naval engineer with the Republic of Singapore Navy gave me a precision-focused, systems-oriented way of working that still shapes how I approach every client today.
As a Key Executive Officer (KEO) and Business Development Director, I work across three areas that tend to be more connected than people realise.

Real Estate Investment & Portfolio ManagementMortgage Advisory & FinancingEnergy Contract NegotiationOverseas Property MarketingData AnalyticsGoogle AI Professional CertificatePropTech & Data-Driven AdvisoryBusiness DevelopmentReal Estate
I've managed and marketed residential, commercial, and overseas properties across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, the UK, and the US. My network spans thousands of property portfolios, and I've led teams of over 150 agents. At Aardvark Realty, we use RealEzy.com, a Singapore-based PropTech platform, to give clients a real data edge in a fast-moving market.
Mortgage Advisory
I've transacted over $500 million in mortgage loans across commercial, industrial, and residential properties. Whether you're buying your first home or expanding a real estate portfolio, I focus on getting you the most competitive terms with the least hassle.
Energy Procurement
For commercial and industrial businesses, I help secure cost-effective electricity contracts that protect against market volatility. Energy costs shouldn't be a surprise on your P&L.

“Amanda is absolutely professional, the best broker I've come across. She's super prompt with her replies, very knowledgeable and reliable. The whole refinancing process was smooth and I got a good deal. I had multiple concerns such as the possible market conditions after my 2yr lock-in: Amanda was very knowledgeable and confident in her advice. I can't recommend her enough.”
