is Southeast Asia’s biggest proptech platform. It basically moved the entire chaotic real estate market online. Founded in Singapore back in 2007, it completely changed how people buy, sell, and rent homes in crowded cities. It gives city dwellers instant transparency on housing prices, floor plans, and localized neighborhood data, completely replacing old-school classified ads
