About.

Sentosa Private is a specialist residential advisory for buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants engaged with Sentosa Cove. We do not work outside the enclave.

The enclave we know, one square kilometre, walked and observed.
One enclave, known in full, served by a small practice, for a small client list.

The choice to focus on one geography is deliberate. Sentosa Cove is small, specific, and governed by codes, architectural, social, and legal, that differ from any other Singapore address. A generalist cannot serve it properly. We chose to know one enclave in full rather than many enclaves in part.

We serve a small client list. That is a choice, not a limitation. Every engagement is led personally, and every communication is private. We prefer long relationships to fast transactions, and the practice is designed around that preference.

What we do
  • i. Represent buyers seeking landed, cove, marina, or waterfront residences, including off market opportunities.
  • ii. Advise sellers on disposal, publicly, or quietly, depending on preference.
  • iii. Represent landlords and tenants on lease, with the same discretion extended to rental.
  • iv. Introduce adjacent professionals, lawyers, private bankers, architects, cross border advisors, when a transaction calls for it.

How to reach us.

WhatsApp is the most common way clients first get in touch. A brief form reaches us equally well. We respond personally within one business day. If you have been introduced by an existing client, please mention that when writing, it helps us place the conversation.

The practice is led by Alvin Tan, founder of Zaiwealth Realty. Founder profile.
