These stars will search property for you
HOUSEHUNTERS may have received a pleasant surprise when they flipped through the property section of The Straits Times' classified ads recently.
Three separate ads fronted by Rayson Tan, Benjamin Heng and Lynn Poh appeared in the 19 Jan issue. They were tagged as the ERA Celebrity Team, touting a newly-launched project near Bedok Reservoir.
Like Benjamin, Lynn has reportedly gone into property full-time.
Her acting contract with MediaCorp expired last year and was changed to a freelance one, which means she will be paid only when she acts.
MAKING ENDS MEET
She told Lianhe Zaobao that she chose property because it allowed her to be in control of her own work.
Lynn, 31, joked: 'Please paint a pitiful picture of me in the paper, so people will buy property from me!'
NO THREAT
But the 40-year-old, who is with property firm OrangeTee, shrugged off the possibility that the new entrants might pose a threat to former celebrities-turned-agents like Liang Weidong, Wang Xiangqing, Angela Ang and herself.
She said: 'The market is big enough. Anyway, property selling is a personal service, so it's not so much about competition from others.'
