April 04, 2024 6:28 AMDennis Wee, heralded as a legend in Singapore's real estate trade, has died on Wednesday at the age of 71 after a battle with cancer.
The late Wee set up his namesake firm, Dennis Wee Group , in 1992, which grew to become one of the most well known property agencies in the era. "Dennis was a colourful person with humour and always putting his loved ones, staff and salespeople before himself. He created many training programmes and initiatives for his people.
"Though I did not report to him, I was inspired by his energy and colourful character. By observing him and making notes, I had learnt many real estate sales, marketing and negotiation techniques. He was in a way my 'sifu' and helped to shorten my learning curve significantly." Desmond Sim, chief executive officer of Edmund Tie, said: "Dennis Wee was a pioneer in the real estate agency business. I can remember his bus ads ploughing the streets... He definitely made his quirky character his advantage as I still remember the humour of the "No House Burn or No Husband" ad. Wee also epitomises a family-focused father with a famed Hokkien mee to match."
