OrangeTee & Tie

Agents are not interchangeable — interview for neighbourhood fluency, landlord relationships, and LOI discipline. OrangeTee is one of several large brands; chemistry with your individual agent matters more than logo. If you engage them as your tenant agent, document commission and renewal terms in a CEA prescribed agreement before the first viewing, and clarify that stamp-duty collection is reimbursement after stamping, not a pre-stamp cash grab. Listings that say ‘agent fees apply’ while the salesperson also represents the landlord are a dual-commission / dual-representation risk — confirm engagement in writing and use CEA’s complaint path if needed. Ask for prior cleaning receipts if the TA mandates professional / curtain cleaning, and who pays pest treatment discovered in the first 30 days. If you are comparing rent vs buy, ask for a written cash-flow sketch that includes ABSD (or FTA remission) rather than a mortgage-only spreadsheet. Landed listings for foreigners often have approval caveats — confirm eligibility before emotional deposits.
