AAG at OrangeTee & Tie
Also written AAG OrangeTee, OrangeTee AAG, Lester Tan AAG
AAG is a group of agent teams inside OrangeTee & Tie, founded and led by Lester Tan, who joined OrangeTee in early 2012. OrangeTee's careers page says he grew it from 3 people to almost 1,200 in just under five years, and that it had recruited more than 3,000 people after 12 years.
What is AAG in OrangeTee?
AAG is a group of agent teams inside OrangeTee & Tie, built by Lester Tan since he joined OrangeTee in 2012. It is not a separate agency: its agents are licensed under OrangeTee & Tie, CEA licence L3009250K.
OrangeTee, like Singapore's other large agencies, is organised around agent-leaders, and AAG is the group that grew from Lester Tan's team. OrangeTee's careers page introduces him as "Founder and Head of AAG" and uses the group's seminar to recruit new agents.[1]
The sources PropKaki read give the name only as AAG and do not spell it out.[1]
How many agents does AAG have?
OrangeTee's careers page says AAG has grown "till today's 3000+ after 12 years": more than 3,000 people recruited over 12 years since 2012, which dates the claim to about 2024. It is a count of people brought in over that time, not a headcount today.
The careers page gives two figures: almost 1,200 members in just under five years from 2012, and 3,000+ after 12 years. It calls both the size of Tan's team. PropKaki has found no independent, dated count of AAG.[1]
Whether 3,000+ is today's headcount or a running total is not stated. For scale, OrangeTee & Tie as a whole had about 2,567 salespersons on CEA's register in June 2026, The Business Times reported, fewer than the 3,000+ claimed for AAG; that suggests the figure counts more than AAG's agents at one time, though no source says so.[3]
| When | Size claimed | Who said it |
|---|---|---|
| About 2017 (just under five years after 2012) | almost 1,200 | OrangeTee's careers page says Tan grew his team to almost 1,200 members in just under five years.[1] |
| About 2024, 12 years after 2012 | 3,000+ recruited over 12 years | OrangeTee's careers page says the team has grown "till today's 3000+ after 12 years": people recruited over 12 years, not a headcount today.[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 AAG?
Lester Tan founded AAG and still heads it, OrangeTee's careers page says. He joined OrangeTee in early 2012 and grew his team from three people.
The careers page dates Tan's arrival at OrangeTee to early 2012 and counts AAG's growth from that point. OrangeTee merged its agents' business with Edmund Tie's in August 2017 to form OrangeTee & Tie, so AAG's first years were at OrangeTee before the merger.[1]
His 99.co agent listing gives his CEA number, R020698B, which links his row to his CEA profile; the register dates his registration with OrangeTee & Tie to February 2012, the start the careers page gives.[2]
Who leads AAG today?
Lester Tan, AAG's founder, leads it, according to OrangeTee's careers page. He was a Senior Associate Executive Director when OrangeTee named AAG its top division of 2016.
The careers page gives Tan's title in 2016 as Senior Associate Executive Director and describes him as Founder and Head of AAG. PropKaki has found no source naming AAG's other leaders.[1]
Several agents in Singapore share the name Lester Tan. His 99.co listing, under the name "AAG Lester Tan", ties CEA registration R020698B with OrangeTee & Tie to AAG's founder.[2]

How has AAG grown?
By OrangeTee's careers page, AAG grew from 3 people in 2012 to almost 1,200 in just under five years and to 3,000+ recruited after 12 years, and was OrangeTee's top division of 2016.
AAG's history is told on OrangeTee's own careers page: Tan's arrival in early 2012, almost 1,200 members within five years, top division in 2016, and 3,000+ after 12 years.[1]
Over the same years OrangeTee itself changed shape: it became OrangeTee & Tie in August 2017, and merged with ETC under Realion Group in 2025.[3]

The page says OrangeTee's top-leader title is based on total team sales, and that AAG won more than 100 of over 200 awards in 2016.[1]
These are awards OrangeTee gives its own agents and teams, as AAG's page reports them, not independent rankings.
Who has joined or left AAG?
PropKaki has found no published report of a leader or division leaving AAG, or of the group moving agency. The recorded move is Lester Tan's own, to OrangeTee in early 2012.
How do you join AAG?
Agents join AAG by joining OrangeTee & Tie through one of its leaders. OrangeTee runs a career seminar for AAG on its own website.
There is no application to AAG as such: a new agent registers with OrangeTee & Tie through a leader, and that leader's place decides the group. OrangeTee's careers section hosts AAG's recruiting seminar.[1]
The careers page credits the group's growth to technology-based marketing, the approach it says Tan brought to his team, and to the agents he trained.[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.
How does AAG compare with groups at other agencies?
AAG's claim of 3,000+ after 12 years is in the range of the largest groups elsewhere: Huttons' Rex Tan Division had 2,650 in January 2026, and PropNex's PNG claimed over 3,300 in 2018. Each is the group's own count, and AAG's may be a running total.
Each of the big agencies has groups of this size. Inside OrangeTee, Property Connect Alliance had 1,581 agents in October 2019; at Huttons, Rex Tan Division had 2,650 in January 2026; at PropNex, Kelvin Fong told 99.co in 2018 that PNG had over 3,300.[6],[7],[8]
The figures are each group's own count, taken in different years, so this is a list of similar groups, not a ranking.
| Group | Agency | Size claimed | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Connect Alliance | OrangeTee & Tie | 1,581 (Oct 2019, EdgeProp)[6] | Landed, commercial and industrial training |
| Rex Tan Division | Huttons | 2,650 (Jan 2026, EdgeProp)[7] | Resale, new launch, training |
| PNG | PropNex | Over 3,300 (Apr 2018, 99.co)[8] | HDB and private resale |
