When sisters Rhonda Wong and Race Wong started Ohmyhome in 2016, their first goal was to provide Singaporeans a trusted avenue
to buy, sell, and rent out their homes. Little did they know that seven years later, they would make history as the first women-only founded proptech to list in the United States and the first to do so in 2023.
In an interview with Singapore Business Review, Rhonda Wong said the Nasdaq listing will help Ohmyhome achieve two of its goals: to double down on their technology and expand service offerings to more markets.
“We have to continue investing into building the latest state of the art technology to ensure that we will have the best services, and we can continue to lead the future of PropTech,” the Ohmyhome CEO said.
“We’re constantly building new tech features. We want customers to have faster and more streamlined updates about their property. So that could be about the valuation of their mortgage, when they should sell their homes, how the market is doing in terms of transactions, listings, asking prices. These are some of the things that we’re working on, that we will be launching in the near future,” she shared, adding that it is important for Ohmyhome to provide a very seamless transaction experience for their customers.
