Tributes pour in for man hailed as a legend in real estate trade and known for his colourful character
-
Mr Dennis Wee, hailed as a "legend" in Singapore's real estate trade, died on April 3 at the age of 71 after a battle with cancer.
Family, friends and business partners paid tribute to Mr Wee on April 4, remembering the realtor as a colourful character who built his own business and embraced life with humour and verve.
His daughter Daphne Wee announced his death in an Instagram post: "Our family is deeply saddened to announce the loss of our legendary Dennis Wee, the best dad, husband, grandpa, friend and boss, (who) passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones at home." Mr Wee set up his namesake firm, Dennis Wee Group (DWG), in 1992. It grew to become one of the most well-known property agencies in the era.
In 2017, the agency merged with PropNex Realty, which was reported to have paid $5 million for the takeover. The agreement provided for the transfer of 845 DWG sales staff, leading PropNex to become Singapore's biggest real estate agency at the time.
