Pass the Singapore Real Estate Salesperson (RES) Exam

Preparing for the Real Estate Salesperson (RES) examination in Singapore? This guide covers the four units of the 2027 syllabus in plain words, then lets you practise until the rules, rates and calculations come without hesitation.

It is a revision companion to the approved RES course, which every candidate must still attend. It does not replace the course.

What is inside:

• 16 short chapters you can read on a phone: the exam and your route to registration, how the property market works, land law, contract and agency law, leases, mortgages and succession, the Estate Agents Act 2010, ethics and conduct, anti money laundering, marketing and advertising, selling private property, buying and selling HDB flats, leasing, stamp duties, property tax and GST, and financing a purchase
• 40 worked calculations, step by step: BSD, ABSD, SSD, lease and mortgage duty, property tax, LTV, TDSR and MSR
• 2 appendices: key figures, rates and dates at a glance, and a glossary with an exam-day checklist and a four-week revision plan
• 600 original practice questions, every one with the correct answer and a short explanation
• 4 full mock exams of 75 questions (50 questions at 1 mark and 25 at 2 marks, 100 marks, pass mark 60), built on the paper structure described in the book

Every rule and rate carries its date and its source: the Estate Agents Act 2010 and its regulations, and the pages of the Council for Estate Agencies, IRAS, HDB, URA and MAS, read in October 2026. Where a point could not be confirmed, the book says so. Rates and rules change, so check the current figure on the official page before you rely on it in the exam or in practice.

All questions are original. This is an independent study guide: it is not affiliated with the Council for Estate Agencies, and it is not produced, endorsed or approved by the Council for Estate Agencies, HDB, IRAS or URA. It does not contain real exam questions.

Part of the Pass the Test series.

Method of creation: this book was written with the help of artificial intelligence tools, under the author's direction; every rule was checked against its source text and every practice question was written for this book.
