My Profile
Aric Lim
林勇达
When a high-net-worth family — often arriving from Greater China — decides to plant roots in Singapore, the name that circulates through their private networks is Aric Lim. A bilingual realtor and family office real estate advisor for families and investors from China and Singapore, with well over a decade in the business, I’ve built my reputation at the very top of the market.
My focus: Good Class Bungalows, freehold conservation shophouses, whole strata office floors, trophy penthouses and prime commercial portfolios. Today I’m a senior leader at Huttons Asia, heading my own team and serving ultra-high-net-worth clients for whom discretion, speed and certainty are everything.
My story didn’t begin in marble lobbies. I grew up in a four-room HDB flat, studied at River Valley High and RMIT, and co-founded a 3D animation company (Mediafreaks) in 2003 before real estate found me. Three days into my first listing I sold a condo for S$700,000 — a record at the time. Three years posted to Shenzhen made me the bridge between mainland buyers and Singapore’s luxury market.

Career Narrative
Three chapters that
shaped how I work.
01
2009 – 2018
From Jurong HDB to Prime Districts
Raised in a four-room flat. After RMIT, co-founded Mediafreaks. A client introduction led to a S$700K Palm Gardens sale in three days. By 2010, full-time at Huttons. Three years in Shenzhen built the bridge between mainland buyers and Singapore’s luxury market.
02
The Bridge
Greater China Mastery
Fluent in Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese beyond Mandarin. I quote land in square metres, not square feet. I understand feng shui preferences — regular, well-proportioned plots over anything sharp or awkward.
03
The Standard
Permanently On Call
Six-seater Alphard on standby, 3am views within hours. School runs, concierge problems, no complaints. Real estate is business between people — and clients reward that with 口碑. One buyer alone introduced fifteen friends. I chartered a bus.
The Breakthrough
S$28M
A record-breaking Good Class Bungalow at Chee Hoon Enclave, District 10.
A clinic visit that became a legend.
One of my first major deals set a then-record: a Good Class Bungalow at the Chee Hoon enclave for $28 million. The owner was a doctor.
I showed up at his clinic — as a patient. I pitched my proposal across the consultation table and won the listing through sheer persistence. My commission ran into the hundreds of thousands. My hands were shaking as I held the Option to Purchase.
That blend of resourcefulness, relentlessness and genuine care has defined every chapter since.
— A story now part of the legend.
