Property Agent Teams That Changed Agencies in Singapore: Navis, Dennis Wee Group, Ken Low Group and More

Sources: EdgeProp, PropNex, PropertyGuru, The Business Times and Mothership reports and releases of the dates shown, all read 6 Nov 2026 (listed under Sources).

Two patterns run through the list: groups follow their leaders, and smaller agencies close into bigger ones. Over the same years the five largest agencies' share of Singapore's agents rose from 71.3% (1 January 2018) to 87.7% (1 January 2026), by CEA's figures.

Dennis Wee founded DWG in 1993 with 10 agents. EdgeProp reported in June 2017 that the deal would bring "all the 1,071 agents" across as "PropNex DWG", the biggest group under PropNex; PropNex was then second-largest, with 5,855.

• The count a month later. PropNex's release of 10 July 2017 gave DWG 1,063 salespersons as at 7 July, of whom 845 had signed the PropNex Associate Agreement and 799 had transferred.
• The headline figure. PropNex's release said 88% of DWG's active salespersons, those who had earned S$50,000 or more in 12 months, crossed over. Of the 218 who did not choose PropNex, 105 had no production in the last 12 months.
• Why, in their words. Dennis Wee: "It's not about money. It's about giving my staff the opportunity to grow that they never had before." Ismail Gafoor of PropNex: "This isn't a dollar value transaction."

Dennis Wee joined PropNex as a Senior Strategic Partner. PropNex's release does not say DWG carried on as a named group; PropKaki's page on Dennis Wee Group tells the group's history. PropNex has 14,862 registered salespersons on PropKaki's copy of CEA's register (10 Oct 2026).

ERA to OrangeTee, 2017. EdgeProp reported in June 2017 that Navis was headed by Jay Ong, Jason Tan and Gary Chua, and that "at one point, Navis had a total of 1,100 agents and was the largest group of agents under ERA". About 440 Navis agents had moved to OrangeTee since early April. East Living Group's founders, Stuart Chng and Jackie Mang, moved from Savills Residential with 110 agents. The merged Navis Living Group had "about 550 members from both groups" by June, and more than 800 by March 2018 (99.co).

Stuart Chng said talks to merge the two groups and join OrangeTee began in the fourth quarter of 2016; the group wanted a management team that was "proactive and has a long-term vision".

OrangeTee to Huttons, 2021. EdgeProp reported in January 2022: "Of close to 1,000 agents that joined Huttons last year, about 700 came on board following the move of four managing partners and co-founders of Navis Living Group who crossed over from OrangeTee & Tie last October." Huttons rose from fourth to third place by headcount. No 2021 report of the move itself was found.

Navis is now a group at Huttons; its latest size is in the biggest agent groups.

Ken Low explained the move to EdgeProp in September 2018: "I resigned to start the planning process at SRI so that everything will be in place for new agents joining the firm." SRI's Bruce Lye: "While there's consolidation in the market, there's also expansion."

What the move did to SRI, by EdgeProp's dated counts:

EdgeProp credited "most of the increase" to 2021 to Ken Low; his group's page is Ken Low Group. 430 is the size of his group at Huttons, not the number who moved: no source gives that count.

SRI itself began as a breakaway. Bruce Lye and Benson Koh had co-founded SRI5000 as a division of SLP Realty, and founded SRI as its own agency around June 2016 with 120 agents, citing "greater autonomy".

• Global Alliance Property → PropNex, 2019. PropNex announced the transfer on 20 February 2019 but "did not reveal how many agents would be transferred". GAP had 457 agents on 1 January 2018, and said it would discontinue its property agency business.
• Savills Residential → Huttons, 2020. EdgeProp reported on 6 September 2020 that "all agents at Savills Residential will move across to Huttons Asia". Assuming all 582 moved, Huttons would go from 3,039 to 3,621. Savills had been a major Huttons stakeholder since January 2005; residential project marketing was described as "increasingly competitive".
• SLP Scotia, 2020–21. Formed in 2017 from SLP Realty and Scotia Real Estate, it applied for voluntary liquidation in December 2020, and its agents moved to SLP International, bringing its total to 150.
• KF Property Network → SRI, 2025, and → OrangeTee, 2026. The 111 agents who joined SRI on 1 January 2025, led by KFPN's former head Evan Chung, were 40.5% of KFPN's 274 agents a year earlier; KFPN fell to 145. In July 2026 Knight Frank agreed that eligible KFPN salespersons could move to OrangeTee (KFPN had about 97 registered in June 2026), and that KFPN would cease operations by the end of 2026. OrangeTee's CEO Justin Quek said it "is not a corporate acquisition, merger or buyout".

KFPN had been the fifth-largest agency in 2017, with 662 agents.

Mothership (6 February 2026), relaying The Straits Times, reported that two senior agents had moved to PropNex with their teams and that KW Singapore's register count fell from 162 on 28 January to 157 on 5 February.

• To PropNex. PropNex's Ismail Gafoor described those joining as "two millionaire producer agents, as well as multiple rising millionaire achievers and experienced team managers".
• To ERA. EdgeProp reported on 4 February 2026 that Rayne Chua, whose group had over 80 agents in October 2025, would join ERA; she did not say how many would follow. By April 2026 her team had over 100 agents, inside ERA's Preeminent Group (99.co); PropKaki's page on her team is Rayne Chua Advisory. ERA's CEO Marcus Chu spoke of "many other agents who have decided to choose ERA".

No source gives a final count of who went where.

Sources: EdgeProp reports of CEA's register on the dates shown; CEA's statistics for 1 January each year. A before-and-after change also includes ordinary joiners and leavers.

On PropKaki's copy of CEA's register (10 Oct 2026), PropNex has 14,862 registered salespersons, ERA 8,900, Huttons 5,942, OrangeTee 2,660 and SRI 1,722. The full count since 2011 is in how many property agents there are.

Section 40 of the Estate Agents Act says a salesperson "may not be registered to act as a salesperson for more than one estate agent at any one time", and CEA registers a salesperson "through one licensed estate agent", which submits the application. So even a "bulk transfer", as DWG's was described, is hundreds of individual moves.

For the agent, what moves and what stays (listings, open deals, commission owed) depends on the agency agreements, not on the team. PropKaki's guide to switching agencies covers the steps; joining an agency covers what to ask the new one. Any agent's current agency is on their record in the agent finder.

• Leaders move first. Navis's partners, Ken Low, Evan Chung and Rayne Chua each changed agency, and agents followed them. The reasons they gave were about growth, autonomy and support: "It's not about money," as Dennis Wee put it.
• Part of the team moves. Navis peaked at 1,100 at ERA, by Gary Chua's account; about 440 had moved to OrangeTee by June 2017. DWG had 1,063 salespersons; 845 signed.
• Small agencies close into big ones. GAP said in 2019 it would discontinue its agency business, and KF Property Network will cease operations by the end of 2026; their agents went or are going to the five. The number of agencies fell from 1,492 in 2013 to 997 in 2026.

How a team's leader is titled, and what that says about the team's size, is in what property agent titles mean; how the five agencies compare today, in PropNex vs ERA vs Huttons vs OrangeTee vs SRI.

• The people: each agent's CEA-recorded deals by type, town and year in the agent finder.
• The agency: registered salespersons and recorded deals for PropNex, ERA, Huttons, OrangeTee and SRI.
• The money: how commission splits work at the big agencies.
• The team's size: the dated claims, and why they overlap, in the biggest agent groups.

What we used.

• The moves: news reports (EdgeProp, PropertyGuru, The Business Times, Mothership relaying The Straits Times, 99.co) and agency releases (PropNex), each opened and read on 6 Nov 2026 and dated in the text. Where a source gives a team's size and, separately, the number who moved, both are shown; where it gives only the size, we say so.
• Agency sizes: EdgeProp's reports of CEA's register on the dates shown, CEA's industry statistics for 1 January each year, and PropKaki's copy of CEA's register as at 10 Oct 2026.

What we did not claim. We do not judge whether a move was good for the agents, the team or either agency, or rank the agencies. We do not say a group came from an agency unless a source does: Dynamic Force Group, now at PropNex, is left out because no source we opened says it came from another agency. Changes in an agency's size between two dates also include ordinary joiners and leavers, so they are not a count of the team that moved. If you know of a dated move we have missed, tell us and we will add it.
