Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PropNex Limited, Mr Ismail Gafoor shared that the desire of venturing into Vietnam was ignited by the attractiveness of the country as one of the growing capitals of Asia. "With its growing economy and positive forecast of the real estate market, we believe that Vietnam is an important place for PropNex to establish our brand."

Mr Ismail highlighted how finding the right partners is crucial to the success of the franchise. "We wanted the right people with the right core values to keep the PropNex brand at number one in terms of professionalism and results for real estate clients. Indeed, our Vietnam franchise partners, Aidan Wee, Vo Dinh Khanh Duy (Tino) and John Lee displayed the right qualities and we trust them to grow the PropNex brand to the next level." Mr Ismail added.

Executive Director of PropNex Vietnam, Mr Aidan Wee, who has been directly involved with Vietnam's real estate investment and management since 2008 highlighted why he chose to expand using the PropNex brand. He shared, "We chose to pursue PropNex due to its strong brand name as the largest listed real estate agency in Singapore. Alongside its reputation for professionalism and trusted service, PropNex's emphasis on the professional and personal development of all its salespersons and employees resonates very well with us. With the extensive experience, unconditional support and comprehensive programs developed by PropNex Singapore, we will be able to touch the lives of our Vietnamese salespersons by allowing them to grow and excel in their real estate careers and be champion producers back in Vietnam."
