KF Property Network to close, agents can opt to transition to OrangeTee; rest of Knight Frank's residential business intact

Real estate salespersons from KF Property Network (KFPN) will be able to transition to OrangeTee & Tie, under an agreement between OrangeTee and Knight Frank.

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.

KFPN, a subsidiary of Knight Frank Singapore, will cease to exist by the end of 2026, Knight Frank said in response to EdgeProp Singapore's queries.

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.

The partnership between the two firms to support KFPN agents follows “extensive strategic discussions” that began in late 2025, the announcement stated.

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.

On July 28, 2026, Knight Frank Singapore clarified that it continues to serve clients across private and residential property markets through four residential divisions of prime sales and leasing, international project marketing, private office, and portfolio management.

“These business divisions continue to be a key part of Knight Frank’s service offerings in Singapore,” the firm noted.

In addition, its auction and sales team, which manages mortgagee sales and owner sales of residential properties, remains unaffected as well.
