PropNex Blazes Trail with Initiatives for its Salespersons and $5 Million Contribution to Charity

PropNex, Singapore’s largest real estate agency, is blazing the trail with its novel initiatives to support real-estate salespersons and local communities. From its union-like structures meant to give a voice to its salespersons to its S$5 million worth of donations, the real estate agency continues to strive for positive change. 

In 2021, PropNex launched the PropNex Real Estate Salespersons Chapter - Agents’ Voice Matters to empower self-employed salespersons to play an active role in voicing their concerns and educating fellow PropNex salespersons on fair practices in the industry. PropNex is the first real estate agency to have a formalised framework, supported by Singapore Industrial and Services Employees’ Union (SISEU), in empowering salespersons and strengthening its platform. 

At the recent PropNex Mid-Year Convention held annually to recognise its top performers, Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and National Development who was in attendance, commended the company for taking the lead in establishing such a union-like structure, saying that she encouraged other agencies to do the same to create a “fair and progressive work environment.”

In addition to supporting its salespersons, PropNex is also committed to contributing to local communities with a focus on empowering the younger generation. 

This year, their annual donation drive contributed S$800,000 to the Community Chest took their total contributions to charity to S$5 million since 2013 - ahead of its target to raise S$5 million by 2023. The donation drive was launched in 2013 with contributions from the company and its salespersons to give back to the less privileged amidst their success in the real estate industry. 

PropNex is also the first amidst other real estate agencies to rally its salespersons to donate regularly. Their salespersons have been contributing a portion of their commission to Community Chest’s regular giving SHARE programme since 2013 and the PropNex Cares initiative, demonstrating the power of a collective and a community. 

“Adding value to the lives of others has been our core values since the firm’s inception and I look forward to seeing more PropNex salespersons contributing to society - not only monetary contributions but also be the force of change in the community.”
-PropNex Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ismail Gafoor

Along with such initiatives to bring about positive change, PropNex is always looking for new ways to grow. PropNex has also expanded internationally, with the establishment of its presence in Victoria, Australia, its 6th market in Asia Pacific.
