Client letters to The Janys
Handwritten notes from buyers and sellers we have acted for in prime District 10 — reproduced as given, and about the practice rather than about living at Draycott 8.
Kept in a drawer, not a database.
Three handwritten notes from families who once called Richard their agent — a prosperity card, a letter on stationery from next door on Orange Grove, and a child's crayon drawing. Presented exactly as received.
Notes and cards from Richard's archive, 1998 – 2024. Names shared with permission.
Dear Richard,

your time on us & your patience.
Best Regards,
The ING family.

Whose feedback this is
The letters reproduced on this page were written by clients The Janys acted for in Singapore's prime residential market. They are client feedback about the practice — not project reviews of Draycott 8, and not resident reviews of living in the development. Nothing here is aggregated into a rating, because a handful of transactions at this price level does not produce a statistically meaningful score.
Recurring themes
Read together, the recurring themes are consistent: responsiveness during the negotiation window, willingness to state when a unit is the wrong fit, and clarity on the numbers that actually determine the outcome — remaining lease, comparable transactions and realistic pricing rather than an aspirational asking figure.
What matters for a Draycott 8 buyer
For a Draycott 8 buyer the relevant test is narrower than general service quality. It is whether the team can produce the current availability, the verified transaction record and an honest comparison against the freehold neighbours on the benchmark table in a single conversation, and whether they will say plainly when the leasehold tenure makes the purchase a poor fit for a particular holding period.
Seller feedback and references
Feedback from sellers tends to focus on the same discipline applied in reverse — pricing to the evidence rather than to the highest recent headline, and managing viewings so owner privacy is preserved through the marketing period.
If you would prefer to speak to a past client directly rather than read a published letter, that can be arranged with their consent.
