About Us
Hi, we are Godfrey and Rachel, founders of Home Base.

How we apply our B.A.S.E Strategy during the customized consultation with you
Balance your budget
We’ll conduct a thorough consultation, financial calculation and risk analysis to determine your:
1. Desired retired lifestyle’s upkeep
2. Affordability
3. Risk profile
4. Borrowability
5. Required cash reserves
Assess your options
It’s never too early to plan for retirement. Property can be a vehicle for investment as long as your purchase:
• Is undervalued
• Has good potential upside
• Has good rental yield
• Did not incur additional costs
• Was bought at the right entry price
With our knowledge, experience and database of market information, we’ll help you pick out the most suitable investment property for you.
Strategising and Executing
If your investment is also your new home, we’ll swiftly put together a clear property timeline from the sale of your property to the collection of keys. However, if you are buying a 2nd property, we’ll advise you on the manner of holding and how to avoid incurring unnecessary additional costs. Additionally, we can also assist you in marketing your property and ensuring that your investment is not left vacant for long.
Ensuring Leftover Liquidity
We’ll aim to help you future-proof your property and set aside an emergency cash or CPF reserve in case of any unforeseen events.
“As a first time seller and buyer, there were a lot of things like procedures of how to sell a how, how to buy a hdb, the process and procedures we are not very sure of.
When we engaged Godfrey & Rachel, they really sat us down and ran through with us both the buying and selling part, the timeline as well as what are the things to take note.
They actually shared a lot of marketing strategies to actually help us gain more exposure into how do we advertise and also attract more viewers to this unit.”
“He helped me secure the best price in the whole development.
I am a person who have to feel comfortable with the agent I am working with.
Throughout, it was never pushy it was always based on sound advice which was given out.
Meeting Godfrey & with his advice, we actually understand how we could actually stay legal and of course avoid paying the ABSD and still upgrade from my three bedder to a 4 bedder unit.“
“Previously, the other agent used more traditional methods of marketing our place. Godfrey did the marketing differently.
When it came to physical viewings, Godfrey provided an overview, and analyzed the properties around us and crafted a unique marketing angle of our unit to the prospective buyers.
Godfrey also offered a few alternative opinions on how to reinvest our sales proceeds.”
“We did not need to come out with any cash and we had enough sales proceeds to pay for the downpayment. We managed to have a sum of emergency cash in our CPF. With that, we can not work for 5 to 8 years and still pay off this house.
We chose (to work with) Home Base is due to the good reviews and the personal touch we felt with them.
They gave us a lot of assurance and ensured that the whole end to end process is covered smoothly.“
“They have given me a lot of confidence through all these calculations, the finances make sense. With the buffer they had created for myself, that was a key thing because it allowed me to move on and do my asset progression (upgrading) without worrying that I may face any financial problems in the short term.
It also acts as a savings plan for myself by channeling my spare cash into this house.
In this whole journey, we really had full trust and faith in Home Base, due to the fact that they’ve displayed to me they put clients’ interest first.
They didn’t tell me to exhaust out every single cent that I have without a buffer.
It’s really hard to find an agent that is really putting their clients’ interest first.
