When I first moved from Singapore to New York, I had no playbook. I knew few people, I lacked a safety net, and I often questioned whether I had made the right choice. Those doubts, however, became my drive. They pushed me to learn the city inside and out, to understand its real estate market from the ground up, and ultimately to build a career dedicated to guiding others through the same journey. A pivotal moment came in 2017 when I helped launch a $450 million luxury project in Manhattan with the SERHANT. team. That experience not only shaped my career but also gave me a front-row seat to how transactions at the very highest levels of New York real estate are executed. Over the years, I have met many Singaporeans drawn to New York, whether for work, studies, or simply the energy of the city. Almost every conversation returns to the same questions: Is it worth buying here? Where do I start? What do I need to know before taking the first step? I understand those concerns deeply because they were the very questions I had when I first arrived.

For Chester Yow, the decision to leave Singapore, his hometown, wasn’t an excursion but rather a mission. After two years in the military, Chester aimed to challenge his own comfort zone, venturing far away from the familiar into the unknown of a new country on the other side of the world. “I wanted to prove that I can be successful in another country, in another city,” he shares. While it is common that many Asians would like to take the stable route to be near their community, Chester wanted to flip the script and rewrite his story. Drawn to the fast pace and competitive spirit of New York City (NYC), Chester quickly realized that real estate was made for him—because for a person who doesn’t enjoy 9-to-5 office jobs like Chester, real estate allows the flexibility while maintaining the discipline needed to survive in NY. It is this combination of freedom and responsibility that has become the driving force for him to start building a network from scratch in this city that never sleeps.
