Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons, shared that as Singapore’s largest private real estate agency, the company’s focus on authenticity and relevance continues to empower the wider Singapore community through its support towards various initiatives.
He announced that Huttons will lend its support to Pesta Sukan, Singapore’s largest multi-sports competition in the community under Sport Singapore. Part of the GetActive! Singapore national movement to celebrate National Day through sports, it will organise more than 30 sports competitions over the coming months.
This builds on a strong sports culture at Huttons, which is hosting several sports interest groups from badminton, golf, running to soccer that are open to all, including agents from other agencies, says Yip.
The local agency is also lending a hand towards Singapore’s One Million Tree’s movement and has raised more than $40,000 for the Plant-A-Tree programme under Garden City Fund.
He also shared that the agency is supporting a local start-up, Immortalize, to launch a legacy planning strategy card game in 4Q2024. “It is part of our effort to gamify and create greater awareness about legacy planning,” says Yip, adding that the game will touch on topics like wills and lasting power of attorney which are a vital component in legacy planning.
