The Background Real estate management, which was traditionally focused towards the Property, is also about “Wealth Management” from the investor’s perspective. Providing an environment where this can be done via mobile technology is our vision, which our Series A supporters have also assented to. With the raised funds, we strive to strengthen our operations and product development which will ultimately enable us to deliver a unique service to our clients.
