Propseller’s mission is to help people build wealth with real estate. We’re building an end-to-end real estate transaction platform and towards that goal, we started the journey by building a technology-powered real estate brokerage that is valuable, reliable and fairly priced.

By elevating the most human part of the service with top in-house agents and industrialising all the rest with technology and centralised operations, we became Singapore's most loved real estate agent with an average Google My Business rating of 4.8/5 (700+ reviews).

The next phase of the journey is to go from helping people sell their homes to becoming the No. 1 brand for people to move from one home to the next: sell, buy, and finance.
