Yes. Under the Estate Agents Act and CEA's regulations, any estate agency work in Singapore must be carried out under a written estate agency agreement using the prescribed CEA form (Forms 1–8). These forms cover sale, purchase, and lease transactions, with non-exclusive (Forms 1–4) and exclusive (Forms 5–8) variants.

In a non-exclusive agreement (Forms 1–4), the client may engage multiple agents on the same transaction; commission is paid only to whoever closes the deal. In an exclusive agreement (Forms 5–8), only the appointed agent has the right to act for the client during the agreement period; commission is payable to that agent even if the client closes the deal through another channel during the exclusive period.
