About us & why we started own it real estate
HI, WE’RE RON & MING HUI
Own It Real Estate was founded on a simple frustration: property transactions in Singapore are among the largest financial decisions a person will ever make — yet the process often feels opaque, reactive, and dependent on luck more than system.
We know this not just as agents, but as homeowners. As a family of five with three boys, we've lived the same journey our clients face — outgrowing a space as their family grew, navigating the decision of when to upgrade, and figuring out how to make property work not just as a home, but as a financial asset that genuinely builds our family's future. That experience shapes how we advise every client who walks through the door.
We’ve spent years working within Singapore's property market — closing HDB resale transactions, coordinating upgrader timelines, and advising buyers on new launches — and in between the process of meeting other buyers and sellers - we realised why doesn't every client get the same level of process, clarity, and communication? Most property agents in Singapore operate in a way that's often strong on relationships, weaker on systems.
We’ve built Own It to flip that. Every client, regardless of property type or transaction size, gets the same documented framework: onboarding questionnaire, live tracking dashboard, CMA, sales deck, enquiries log, and a timeline calculator that maps every milestone from listing to completion.
All so you have clarity at every step for your largest purchase.

RON LIM | CEA NO.: R018220Z | M: 93215858
Ron entered real estate in 2009 with a background in banking — and brought with him something most agents don't have: a genuine sense of numbers, financial planning, and process discipline. Over 15+ years, he has personally helped more than 300 families navigate their property needs, from first-time HDB purchases to complex upgrading journeys.
That banking mindset shapes everything about how Ron works. Pricing is backed by CMA, not instinct. Timelines are mapped to the day. Every step of the sale — from onboarding to handover — follows the same documented 3-phase framework, tested across 40+ transactions in 2025 alone. The result: 85% of his listings sold at or above asking price. Not by chance. By design.
He also developed the OWN Method — a 4-step upgrader framework built on the same methodology he and Ming Hui used for their own property journey as a couple. Because the best systems aren't theoretical but lived and experienced.
Together with Ming Hui, they focus on providing tailored advice and strategic planning to help clients make informed decisions especially for families looking at their home upgrading and asset progression.

MING HUI | CEA NO.: R049246B | M: 92785858
Ming Hui joined real estate in 2013, also bringing a background rooted in structure and precision. Together with Ron, she has been part of the team behind more than 300 families' property journeys — and the one most clients remember for making the process feel effortless.
Her role in the partnership is the client experience end-to-end. The systematic approach that Ron architects, Ming Hui executes with the kind of care that turns first-time clients into lifelong ones.
As a husband-and-wife team, Ron and Ming Hui have also walked this path personally — using the same buy/sell methodology they apply for their clients on their own upgrading journey. That lived experience is not incidental to what they do. It is the foundation of why they do it the way they do.

WHAT HAPPY CLIENTS SAY
“Ron & Ming Hui are very helpful from the start. They helped us market and sell our flat at an attractive price even though our flat was subject to EIP. Throughout the sale period Ron was attentive, followed up with all offers and gave us advice that helped us make the best decision for the family. They also helped us in our new home purchase. Ron was always prompt to answer our queries and helped allay our doubts. The entire process was smooth, efficient and stress free. Thanks Ron!”

“Ron and Ming Hui left a very good impression on us since our last sale done through him 5 years ago. This time round, they exceeded our expectation with a record high price, done in just 1 day of open house. Ron is someone who you want on your side whether it is buying or selling.”
— Poh Heng & Ann
“I met Ron and Ming Hui when we were looking for a place to be near my in-laws. We may have met them by chance but the memorable experience and friendship last forever. Ron always put his customer’s need first and ensure that he address all their needs and meet their requirements. No hard sales or rushing his customers. Personally, I must say he is honest and sincere when comes to helping us getting a home. Thank you Ron.”
