Rex Tan named Huttons' Chief Agency Officer amidst AI push

The company targets 2,650 agents in digital overhaul.

Huttons Group has appointed Rex Tan as its new chief agency officer, where he will lead agency development and tech-driven growth initiatives.

Tan will oversee training programmes that help Huttons agents adopt digital tools and AI for lead management, customer engagement and productivity, the company said.

He will also lead market education efforts to improve property literacy for both agents and consumers.

Tan joined Huttons in 2010 and built the Rex Tan Division into one of the firm’s largest teams, with about 2,650 agents.

Huttons CEO Mark Yip said the appointment reflects the company’s focus on equipping agents with future-ready skills amid accelerating digitalisation in the real estate sector.

The move comes as local agencies increasingly integrate data, technology and structured training into their business models to stay competitive and enhance professional standards.
