We would like to thank Kalvin Lai(www.kalvinlai.com), our agent for finding us the PERFECT unit that we could ever dream of.
I still remembered the first visit to this unit early August... The owner was actually asking for 70k COV which really gave us a BIG BIG fright. As much as we liked the place, we had to set our feet to the ground firmly; telling ourselves that this unit is definitely out of our budget. However, we still brought our two 老宝贝 to this unit. They immediately showed signs of adoration for this unit... discussing how they should place their beds, how the sofas should be placed, so on and so for... ... We knew immediately that they really liked this place very much. However, the high COV had 'forced' us to take a step backwards.Soon enough, we got news that the unit was sold.
Picture of the unit that we liked :

Totally Brand NEW kitchen cabinet :
We remembered praying to God; asking God earnestly to lead us to the ideal house as accordance to his plan. Soon enough, we thrown this 'INCREDIBLE COV' house behind us and proceeded to view other available units. Finally, we were about to settle for one unit at Blk 166, however, the seller still had his hesitation about selling his unit. He asked for 3 more days to consider our offer. Just at this moment, when we felt so lost and helpless towards the hiccups we met; God showed us the way.
The unit that we both liked so much(initially) showed up on PropertyGuru again on the 27th of August. A voice just came to me and told me to give the seller's agent a call(as it was already 1am when we saw the post on the website). I coughed up the courage and gave the lady agent, Regina a call the very next morning. I asked her about the unit and she told me that due to some unexpected events, the deal was called off by the seller. We had a long talk and I told her about the high COV issue, which made us unable to even offer her a price for the unit. Initially, she was quite adamant about the 70K COV.However, after chatting for some time, she relented and agreed to help us talk to the seller... to see if he is willing to let go of the unit at a lower price. I got my agent, Kalvin to quote her our max COV price for the unit. During lunch-time, I got a call from Kalvin and he told me that the seller had agreed to let go of the unit at 55k + 5K deposit.The unit was sold to us at 488k. I knew that this was it. The agreement was signed on the very day at 5pm.
I am sure no one could imagine how both of us felt then. The type of excitement and happiness of finding the house that we really like very much.
We just received the first appointment letter from HDB yesterday. Soon, we will be able to get the keys to our IDEAL unit.
Really looking forward to the day when we get the keys to this unit.
THANK YOU GOD for making this possible. We hereby entrust all happenings of this unit onto your hands. Kindly do make this 'journey' smooth and filled with abundance of grace from ya. Amen!
Cheers
