According to an official release, the proceeds will be used to strengthen its Singapore base and expand into Southeast Asia. Founded in 2014, Ohmyhome is an online platform targeting the property market.

Race Wong, COO and Co-Founder of Ohmyhome said, “We saw a gap in the real estate market where transactions are carried out in a traditional manner. The lack of expertise, information, and quality services opened opportunities for us to increase efficiency, save costs and execute transactions more easily. That was why we founded Ohmyhome to create a one-stop solution to make housing transactions simpler, faster, and affordable for all home owners and home seekers.”

As of September 2018, Ohmyhome has facilitated the transactions of more than 2,000 homes, comprising a combined value of over $620.82 million (S$850 million).
