Starting out as a real estate agent in Singapore is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. Many aspiring agents wonder what the first few months will look like and how to set themselves up for success.

Wonder what new agents should expect at Huttons

If you’re considering joining Huttons, it’s important to understand exactly what new agents should expect at Huttons, especially during your first six months. The good news? You won’t be figuring things out alone.

At Hao Feng Group, we’re proud to be one of the most agent-focused teams under Huttons. Led by Associate Division Director Tan Hao Feng, our team offers the tools, structure, and guidance new agents need to hit the ground running.

1. RES Exam Support and Pre-Onboarding Guidance

Before becoming a licensed Real Estate Salesperson (RES), you’ll need to pass the RES exam. At Hao Feng Group, we guide new recruits through the exam process from the very start. We offer:

• Study guidance and exam tips

• Pre-registration briefings to manage expectations

• Peer support and mentorship throughout your preparation

Once you're certified, you'll move into our structured onboarding, where the real hands-on learning begins.

2. Structured Onboarding and Weekly Sales Training

A key part of what new agents should expect at Huttons is consistency—and that starts with weekly training sessions focused on real estate fundamentals. Your first six months will include:

• Huttons New Agent Orientation

• Weekly workshops covering sales, product knowledge, and property trends

• Tools training, including use of the Huttons i-Portal

• Coaching on project marketing and private resale workflows

At Hao Feng Group, we personalize this with a clear 6-month roadmap designed around your goals—whether you’re part-time or going all-in from day one. For more insights, visit our Career Page.

3. Mentorship from Experienced Leaders

Another core part of what new agents should expect at Huttons is real mentorship—not just a text chat or monthly review.

At Hao Feng Group, mentorship is personal and practical. You’ll receive:

• Weekly 1-on-1 check-ins and reviews

• WhatsApp support during appointments

• Shadowing opportunities and live deal walkthroughs

• Hands-on help with OTPs, negotiations, and client handling

This level of mentorship accelerates learning, builds confidence, and shortens the time to your first successful deal.

4. Your First Deal — Usually Within 30 to 90 Days

Many agents who join Huttons close their first rental deal within a month and land their first sale within 90 days.

At Hao Feng Group, we guide you step by step on how to:

• Leverage Huttons’ massive new launch inventory

• Join project showflat rotations to meet active buyers

• Generate leads through social media

• Use proven follow-up techniques and objection-handling scripts

5. Challenges You’ll Face — and How You’ll Overcome Them

Let’s be real: the first 6 months aren’t always smooth. Here’s what new agents should expect at Huttons in terms of obstacles:

• A steep learning curve

• Rejections from leads or cold calls

• Time management struggles, especially for part-time agents

• Emotional ups and downs when deals take longer than expected

But here's the difference—you’re not alone. With our support system and team culture, you’ll learn how to push through those tough weeks and stay focused on long-term wins.

6. Personal Branding and Social Media Coaching

These days, your online presence matters just as much as your property knowledge. That’s why personal branding is a major part of your first six months.

At Hao Feng Group, we help new agents with:

• Setting up your PropertyGuru and social profiles

• Creating video scripts and carousel templates

• Posting strategy for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook

• In-house content review and creative feedback

We don’t just tell you to “post more.” We guide you in building a brand that actually attracts real buyers and sellers. For social media insights, check out our Blog.

7. A Mindset for Long-Term Growth

Beyond skills and tools, what new agents should expect at Huttons—especially with Hao Feng Group—is a shift in mindset.

This isn’t just about closing a few deals. It’s about building a sustainable real estate career. That includes:

• Tracking weekly activities and KPIs

• Setting short-term and long-term income goals

• Thinking like a business owner, not just an agent

• Planning for leadership, team-building, or specialisation

Many of our top performers started with zero sales experience. What made the difference? A coachable mindset and structured habits—something we instill from day one.
