What is Mary Tan District at Huttons?
Mary Tan District, or MTD, is a group of agent teams inside Huttons Asia led by Mary Tan. In 2021 it went by MTD Group, short for Make The Difference. Its agents are licensed under Huttons Asia, CEA licence L3008899K.
99.co's 2021 profile called Tan the "head of MTD Group (Make The Difference)"; EdgeProp's 2025 profile said she leads "the Mary Tan District (MTD)". Both refer to the group she grew from a two-person team.[1],[2]
Like every group, MTD has no licence or register entry of its own; CEA's register lists its agents under Huttons Asia. The figures about it are the ones Tan and Huttons have published.
How many agents does Mary Tan District have?
EdgeProp reported in August 2025 that Mary Tan oversees more than 2,000 agents. 99.co reported in October 2021 that she had over 1,400 agents under her leadership.
Both figures are for the agents under Tan, which the sources treat as her group: over 1,400 in 99.co's October 2021 profile, and more than 2,000 in EdgeProp's August 2025 profile, which describes her as an Executive Group District Director overseeing them.[1],[2]
The figures may overlap with other Huttons groups. 99.co's 2021 profile lists Rex Tan, Willi Ching and Tony Teo among specialists MTD recruited, and a Huttons event page in 2022 names Mary Tan among the senior leaders of Kevin Geow's team. No source says which counts include which.[2],[3]
| When | Size claimed | Who said it |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2021 | 1,400+ agents | 99.co reports that Tan, head of MTD Group (Make The Difference), has over 1,400 agents under her leadership.[2] |
| Aug 2025 | 2,000+ agents | EdgeProp reports that Tan, an Executive Group District Director, oversees more than 2,000 agents, and calls her group the Mary Tan District (MTD).[1] |
Sizes are the group's own claims. CEA's register records the agency an agent is licensed with, not the group, and divisions inside a group are counted again in its total.
Who founded Mary Tan District?
Mary Tan built the group from what 99.co called her "2-man group". She had 20 years in the industry by 2021, after working in insurance, and EdgeProp said in 2025 that she had spent 18 years with Huttons.
Before real estate, EdgeProp's 2025 profile says, Tan managed two international call centres, for Avis and Hertz, and sold insurance. 99.co reported in 2021 that she had won awards at Huttons from 2008 to 2016 and made a full comeback to the industry in 2019.[1],[2]
No source gives the year the group took the MTD name. EdgeProp's 2025 profile shows her with Rex Tan and Kevin Geow, "the two men pivotal to Tan's real estate career".[1]

Inside MTD, EdgeProp's profile says one of her top agents co-led a record Orchard Road deal in 2025, without naming the agent. No source names MTD's other leaders.[1]

EdgeProp's 2025 profile describes a culture of mentorship and collaboration in MTD, with younger and mid-career agents learning from senior ones.[1]
Before you join any group, read what to ask when joining a property agency, and check the leader's own record on their CEA profile.
