This will help ensure continuity for clients while supporting the long-term growth of their businesses. It comes as Knight Frank looks to sharpen its focus on its strategic core business priorities and closer regional integration, according to a July 27 joint announcement.

The rest of the firm’s residential business remains intact, as KFPN’s closure does not affect Knight Frank Singapore’s broader residential business helmed by Nicholas Keong, its head of residential. The firm added that while the KFPN agents can choose where they want to register their licences, what makes this agreement distinct is that it is a structured, mutually endorsed transition established directly between Knight Frank and OrangeTee leadership. “Unlike individual transfers, this structured arrangement will ensure seamless administrative onboarding and, most importantly, zero disruption to clients these professionals serve,” Knight Frank told EdgeProp Singapore. “We are providing a validated, stable platform for their long-term career growth.” All agents at KFPN will be eligible for this business continuity plan. As of June 2026, KFPN had about 97 registered agents. OrangeTee, a member of Realion Group, has around 2,567 agents, making it Singapore’s fourth-largest property agency by registered salespersons. Salespersons who choose to move will be able to access expanded training, technology, business development resources and the broader Realion Group ecosystem.

In identifying the right agency for its salespersons, Knight Frank selected OrangeTee for its scale, technology, training, client-first culture and governance that can support the agents over the long term. OrangeTee, meanwhile, said it is focused on building a sales force of like-minded professionals who share a commitment to professionalism and client service. Justin Quek, CEO of OrangeTee and deputy group CEO of Realion Group, noted that the agency looks forward to supporting the salespersons from KFPN “as they settle in and continue building on what they have already achieved”. Tan Tee Khoon, head of KFPN, said: “We are confident that our salespersons who choose to transition will find both continuity and new opportunities for growth.” In 2025, more than 100 agents from KFPN left for SRI. That accounted for about 40% of the 274-strong sales force at Knight Frank Singapore’s agency business as of January 2024, when it had been ranked the sixth-largest property agency in Singapore.

In addition, its auction and sales team, which manages mortgagee sales and owner sales of residential properties, remains unaffected as well. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### KF Property Network将关闭，经纪可选转投OrangeTee；莱坊其余住宅业务不受影响 转投OrangeTee & Tie的房地产销售人员可获得更广泛资源及Realion生态体系支持 根据OrangeTee与莱坊（Knight Frank）达成的协议，KF Property Network（KFPN）的房地产销售人员将可转投OrangeTee & Tie。 此举有助于确保客户服务的连续性，同时支持其业务的长期增长。 据7月27日联合公告，此举正值莱坊寻求更聚焦其核心战略业务重点，并加强区域整合。 延伸阅读：房地产经纪在尽职调查、广告及组屋资格审核方面违规最多 莱坊在回应《EdgeProp Singapore》查询时表示，作为莱坊新加坡子公司的KFPN将于2026年底前停止存续。 该行其余住宅业务保持不变，因为KFPN关闭不影响由住宅业务主管Nicholas Keong领导的莱坊新加坡更广泛住宅业务。 该行补充称，尽管KFPN经纪可自行选择在何处注册执照，但本协议的独特之处在于，这是莱坊与OrangeTee领导层之间直接确立的结构化、双方认可的过渡安排。 莱坊告诉《EdgeProp Singapore》：“与个人转会不同，这一结构化安排将确保行政入职无缝衔接，最重要的是，对这些专业人士所服务的客户实现零中断。我们为他们提供一个经过验证、稳定的长期职业发展平台。” KFPN全体经纪均有资格纳入此项业务连续性计划。 截至2026年6月，KFPN约有97名注册经纪。作为Realion Group成员的OrangeTee约有2567名经纪，是新加坡按注册销售人员计的第四大房地产中介。 选择转投的销售人员将可获得更广泛的培训、技术、业务发展资源，以及更广阔的Realion Group生态体系。 延伸阅读：经纪与中介纪律记录在CEA网站上更可见；执法行动上升 公告称，两家公司为支持KFPN经纪而建立的合作伙伴关系，是在2025年底开始的“广泛战略讨论”之后达成的。 在为其销售人员物色合适中介时，莱坊选择OrangeTee，是看中其规模、技术、培训、以客户为先的文化以及能够长期支持经纪的治理能力。 与此同时，OrangeTee表示，其重点是打造一支志同道合、共同致力于专业精神与客户服务的销售队伍。 OrangeTee首席执行官兼Realion Group副集团首席执行官Justin Quek指出，该中介期待支持来自KFPN的销售人员，“帮助他们安顿下来，并在既有成就上继续发展”。 KFPN主管陈智坤（Tan Tee Khoon）表示：“我们有信心，选择过渡的销售人员将既能获得业务连续性，也能迎来新的成长机会。” 2025年，超过100名KFPN经纪转投SRI。这约占截至2024年1月莱坊新加坡中介业务274人销售队伍的约40%；当时该业务在新加坡房地产中介中排名第六。 延伸阅读：8 Orange Grove复式顶层单位以1280万新元挂牌 2026年7月28日，莱坊新加坡澄清，其继续通过四个住宅业务部门——优质销售与租赁、国际项目营销、私人办公室及投资组合管理——服务私人及住宅物业市场客户。 该行指出：“这些业务部门仍是莱坊在新加坡服务产品的关键组成部分。” 此外，其负责管理住宅物业按揭收回出售与业主出售的拍卖与销售团队，同样不受影响。
