less agents and uninvited guest means less competition, better hit rate for those agents cum owner who are there.
Its a golden opportunity for agents to network with other owners for potential lease and sale. And thats the reason why they are publicizing this close door event in the forum.

Hi,We just have a internal meeting that developer will open up 8 actual unit from developer sale to let future potential buyer view on 21th Sept from morning by appointment.
Interlace Buyer party is on evening time so actually no any direct conflict.
I already purchase a 2bdrm interlace for own stay, at the same time i will be resident agent.
Very nice lotus pond view for sharing, i like it very much
Night View from Lotus Pond
almost every condo has its own resident agents... they do everything , buy sell lease they know the condo best ...
on the flip side ... as a buyer or tenant ... if I know the agent is a resident owner himself... I will have my reservation on his opinion of the condo ..
he cud be " Mr Wong selling melon, self sell self praise "
I just rang up my agent in the evening,
He says the event is only for Interlace owners and is by invitation only so there shouldnt be any appointment to potential buyers because they are not allowed in
maybe ... just maybe developer works with a certain agency .. and as part of the marketing by the agency ... developers have agreed to open 8 units for the agents from that agency to bring potential buyers...
any others will not be allowed hence they told you NO SUCH THING
the person who said so was CATE and shes an agent ..
this is just what I think..
I have contacted other developers before to make enquiry ..their sales hotline person tell me to call the agency .. as they have paid them to do marketing ..
Relax people, this project is not sold out so the show flat is still open. Just becos there is an owner's event does not mean they will close the show flat on that day to outsiders.
This project is marketed by ERA and Knight Frank.
yeah, don;t be too anal about it -there's some units leftover & I understand it's in interests of residents & developers to see them sold eventually.
Developer is still the owner, we are only future owners. We are just invitees. We cant decide whom should the owner ie developer should invite or not invite. They have to sell their units and have to do what is right for them.
As far as Cate is concerned, she is just doing her business and sharing the information. Take it if its relevant to you, or just ignore it.
Lets take it easy and chill.
Nobody wants to decide who the developer should and should not invite. In fact, fully agree, it is the developer's discretion on who to invite. Problem is when some owners pass on the invitation to third parties. Which comes back to the comment that is is not the owners' discretion to invite. Bringing unintended invitees is unfair to other owners as well as the developer. Imagine every owner invited say 5 third parties that day - there would be total chaos. Agent owners got the invite as an owner, not as an agent. So it is not like they have a job to do at the event. And my understanding is that it is not the developer's objective to use this party as an opportunity to market unsold units to potential buyers. Otherwise, they would have promoted this event instead of silently mailing out invites to owners. So, if owners just accepted invitations and not forwarded them on, and left it to the developer to organise, there would be no issue.
In any case, this party thing has been blown way out of proportion. Hope we can end the discussion. One can assume almost all owners would be responsible enough in knowing who they can bring along - so there can still be a nice evening to enjoy.
We dont need to worry. Deveolper must be experienced in these matters and must be knowing its job. In fact i remember i had to register the family members who will be attending the event. So its not that everyone can bring with him unlimited number of guests.
Kate, agent owner did mention that in their internal meeting it was disclosed that they will keep it open for prospective buyers in morning and the event is in evening.
So my point, developer and agents know their job. We dont need to bother. We are there to enjoy the evening, lets chill out.
Owner of interlace better ask what developers has put in place to prevent those man make hollow rocky area along AYE from becoming a great playground for rodent and snakes.

Latest info from developer:
Viewing of 8 actual units postpone to early oct 2013.
Public not allow to come on 21st sept. On 21th sept developer will stand by 20 era agents to assist owner enquiry on existing garden house showflat.
All the statement i give is base on our company discussion with developer. Any last minutes changes of the arrangement we cannot avoid as we are marketing agent only follow developer instruction.
Cheers!! Hope all owner have a wonderful day on party!!!
Are they releasing the 2 showflat for sale?
