I have rejoined Propnex Realty Pte Ltd in 2015 under Richard Tan. I have came a full circle before coming back to the company which was my very first real estate company having went to OrangeTee, ERA and DTZ prior to coming home. Richard came across to me as a simple man with a Big Heart and a person who is willing to go to great lengths to help a person grow and achieve something for his family. He has shown me a "Simple Man" can do GREAT THINGS!!!
I call him "Boss" as this is an apt term for someone who has earned my respect fully through his actions and efforts. He is also a well respected Leader within the company and in the Real Estate Industry itself. Honesty and integrity ranks above all in him.
His patience and guidance has helped me in my career tremendously and has now propelled me to go into team building actively.
I am sure under Richard Tan's guidance, my Team and myself will soar higher and fly further for many years to come !!!!
(PS: It took me 2 years of consideration before i decide to join him !!!)

Richard Tan is not only my manager but my brother who has been guiding me since I started my career.
He is a very simple man with a big heart, doing his very best to help his team to succeed in their career. He even goes the extra mile to call his team personally to ensure they are on track.
In the real estate industry, no one will share the key to success in this business, where agents tend to work independently. However, this does not apply to Richard Tan. Since the day I joined this industry, I witnessed how he encourages his team, always having one to one meet ups with his team and providing all latest information on real estate daily without fail.
Richard not only shares his knowledge with his team but also across PNG. I have heard that co-broke agents from other agencies have also benefited from his advice.
I am proud to be under his wing, he is indeed a great Mentor. Thank you Richard.

WHERE PASSION MEETS PASSION
Being an avid golfer, Richard utilises the 4 elements that he has learnt in his love of golf for his real estate profession. He believes that these 4 elements have to be aligned to achieve success.
Firstly, it is to have a positive mindset. He believes that we always need to be calm, collected and positive in our approach to any situation.
Secondly, it is the need to develop strong skillsets. It is with a stable foundation that one can confidently face and manage challenges, be it in golf or real estate.
Thirdly, personalised coaching and training is essential to be proficient in one's respective field. As everyone is different, a customised approach is essential to reach excellence.
Lastly, the environment that one operates in, will determine the chances of success whether in golf or real estate. Hence, Richard's emphasis on the importance of transparency and trust in the team.
