Ohmyhome fast tracks real estate deals

-

Singapore’s leading property tech startup Ohmyhome is rolling out operations in the Philippine­s soon, giving Filipinos a chance to do fast, streamline­d property transactio­ns with just a few clicks.

With the Philippine government intent on restarting industries and businesses stalled by the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19, Ohmyhome’s services through its applicatio­n and website are primed to help accelerate this process in the local real estate setting.

Ohmyhome is different from other real estate portals in the market as it is designed to serve customers in the entire buying and selling process by providing a unique hybrid model of a DIY (do-it-yourself) platform and full-fledged agency services that help ease pain points for buying, selling and renting.

They do this by leveraging on their advanced technology capabiliti­es and their team’s dedication to provide exceptiona­l service to their customers.

Just as it did in Singapore and Malaysia, Ohmyhome will enable Filipino homeowners and searchers to buy, sell, and rent properties in a simple, fast and efficient manner.

With Ohmyhome, property buyers can avoid stress, unnecessar­y delays and botched deals.

As this model has been proven highly successful in Singapore and Malaysia, Ohmyhome continues to provide an estimate of 2,000 housing transactio­ns per month. The platform also garnered 300,000 app downloads, over 175,000 active users and 15,000 unique listings of real estate properties to date.

Chief executive officer and co-founder Rhonda Wong affirmed this, saying that Ohmyhome provides the best of both worlds — a seamless DIY platform and profession­al agent services.

“We are very different from property classified platforms. Our focus is not on advertisin­g but on helping customers transact. We take care of the entire transactio­n process — from search and deal-closing all the way through legal documentat­ion and mortgage advisory — making it simple for both first time property buyers to seasoned investors to transact real estate,” said Rhonda.

“Customers who don’t DIY can also opt for our full agent services, which include market research on estimated valuation, powerful database matching of potential buyers, hosting property viewings, documentat­ion and more,” she added.

This is a welcome developmen­t in the Philippine real estate circuit that is blighted by unreliable agents, complicate­d government processes and disorganiz­ed websites, and the need to coordinate with multiple agencies. With Ohmyhome, property buyers can avoid stress, unnecessar­y delays and botched deals.
