FOUR managing partners of Navis Living Group, a network of real estate agents, have joined Huttons Asia's team, the company announced on Friday (Oct 8).

The four - Jay Ong, Stuart Chng, Gary Chua and Jackie Mang - were also the co-founders of Navis.

Lee Sze Teck, senior director of research (Singapore) at Huttons, told The Business Times that some brokers in the Navis team are also expected to follow the transition. However, the number of agents doing so is not yet finalised.

As part of the move, Navis, which was formerly an associate team of OrangeTee & Tie, will also become an associate of Huttons.

Mark Yip, chief executive officer of Huttons Asia, said: "One of the cornerstones of our three-year strategic plan is to expand our agency numbers close to 8,000 brokers. Today represents a significant milestone."

The Navis managing partners said in a joint statement: "We are delighted to be joining Huttons as we share their vision to develop the most efficient agency platform and significantly grow agency numbers. Combining our strong presence in the resale market with Huttons' far greater access to newbuild projects in both Singapore and overseas will power the combined team to greater heights."
