Buying, selling or renting in Punggol through a property agent? CEA advises checking the phone number you are dealing with in its Public Register. Matching a genuine agent’s name and registration number alone is not enough, because someone can copy those details.
Use the phone number in the property advertisement or conversation and confirm the returned profile. CEA warns that if the number does not lead to an agent’s profile, it is not registered with CEA and is likely a scam even if the claimed name and registration number exist.
For a Punggol viewing or transaction, verify the contact before sending identity documents or arranging payment. Registration is an identity and regulatory check, not a guarantee that a particular listing is genuine or that the proposed transaction is suitable for your household.

Start with the contact you actually received
Enter CEA’s Public Register through the official consumer page below. Search the advertised or contacted phone number rather than substituting a number supplied in a separate screenshot.
Compare the agent and agency details with the advertisement. If something conflicts, stop and clarify through independently verified agency contact details before proceeding.
Inspect the relevant profile information
CEA says the register can show registration validity, recent residential transactions, disciplinary records and other professional information. Use those fields as separate checks, not one overall approval badge.
A track record can help you frame questions about experience, but it does not establish an individual listing’s availability, ownership or price. Ask for the appropriate transaction documents through the verified channel.
Keep the verification tied to the conversation
Save the listing and note when you checked the contact. If a new phone number or different person takes over, verify that change instead of relying on the original check.
Do not send sensitive paperwork merely because a person displays an agent card photograph. A copied card and a live connection to the registered person are different forms of evidence.
Agree the service before committing
Ask who represents whom, what services will be provided and how fees will be documented. Read the relevant agreement rather than relying on a friendly chat alone.
If the contact becomes pressuring or the details remain inconsistent, seek guidance from CEA’s official channels. This guide does not verify any specific Punggol listing or recommend an individual agent.
