SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Singapore-listed real estate agency PropNex has acquired a 70% stake in Ovvy, a tech platform that will allow its agents to provide value-added services to its clients.

PropNex salespersons will be able to provide further services via Ovvy’s hundreds of merchants that are currently on the platform. For instance, consumers can post a job (such as for air-conditioning repair services), get offers, filter through merchants, and “book and pay” merchants based on their needs.

Gafoor says: “Through technology, we intend to stay ahead of the curve in terms of innovation and transform the digital landscape in the real estate industry for the betterment of our salesforce.”
