How did Kevin Lim become Chief Agency Officer of ERA?

Key Takeaway

Through about two decades at ERA: an agent from about 2003, founder of Preeminent Group in about 2008, Chief Agency Director by February 2019 and Chief Agency Officer in 2022, according to 99.co and ERA.

99.co's June 2019 profile describes the start: he had planned a career in the armed forces until a talk on becoming a property agent changed his mind, and he won ERA's Top Rookie award soon after joining. By 2019 he had been an agent for 16 years, the article said, and had won enough of ERA's yearly awards that he stepped out of contention for future ones.

ERA's February 2019 release on its Asia Pacific Business Conference called him Chief Agency Director, presented him with the agency's first Honorary Award and said he had held the Top Division of the Year award for the four previous years. 99.co reported in June 2019 that, soon after his appointment, he helped unveil ERA's Ultimate Agent Training programme, led by ERA's COO Marcus Chu.

In October 2022 99.co described him as ERA's recently appointed Chief Agency Officer. The Peak's report on ERA's millionaire gala in May 2025 captions him with the same title, and ERA's agent portal lists it in November 2026.

What is Kevin Lim known for?

Key Takeaway

For building Preeminent Group into ERA's largest group, and for ERA's first Honorary Award, presented in February 2019 after four straight years of its Top Division of the Year award, ERA said.

His recognition comes mostly from ERA itself. Besides the Honorary Award and the Top Division of the Year run reported in 2019, ERA's agent portal lists his Outstanding Leadership Award for 2022 and 2023, its Millionaire award for 2022 and 2023, and its Top Trainer award for 2025, among 90 awards on the page in November 2026.

99.co reported in June 2019 that he co-ran ERA's Ultimate Leadership Warrior Camp and Ultimate Sales Warrior Camp with Gary Lau, and that the leadership camp had run nine times with about 1,000 participants. In October 2022 he described the word "worried" as the mark of a leader, saying he wanted his executive team to go beyond their own sales and divisions for the group.
