#PG10 : 2017 marks PropertyGuru Group’s 10th anniversary and the market leading group remains very much committed towards helping people make confident property decisions.
Headquartered in Singapore, PropertyGuru.com.sg was launched in 2007 by two entrepreneurs. They had a vision to simplify the property search process and help renters, buyers, sellers and investors make confident property decisions – faster. With a continued focus on innovation, the group has grown from a media company to a high-growth technology company, operating a suite of No.1 property portals and award-winning mobile apps across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. The group has developed and launched 15 mobile applications in four countries and three languages. At present, the Group records over 3.5 million downloaded mobile apps.

The group also provides data and technology-backed solutions to real estate developers and agents, helping them sell property faster and enabling more effective sales forces. Currently, the Group generates over 550,000 monthly enquiries for them. These enquiries, in turn, help to drive transactions valued at over US$15 billion annually.
The group also operates renowned project marketing technology platform, ePropertyTrack, and a host of industry-leading property offerings such as publications, events and awards with approximately 20 shows held annually across four countries, addressing 20,000 potential property buyers on the ground.
