DREAM HOME ADVANTAGE
Prestige Singapore|November 2023
After an itinerant life, RACE WONG has finally settled into her haven of a home. Now, she's taking her real estate technology firm to the next level.

DREAM HOME ADVANTAGE

Cutting a striking figure in a body-hugging, fire-engine red Dolce & Gabbana dress, Race Wong exudes serene confidence as she raises her arm to showcase the multi-strand Cartier necklace she is wearing, her gaze fixed on the camera as she glides from one pose to another. The Cantopopsensation-turned-businesswoman is in her element. "I'm not an exaggerated person with big movements," she says later. "For shoots, I prefer photo over video. I like to feel the moment and express myself in a very quiet manner."

The way she models is also her approach to life. "That's how I go through most things," says Race, "I don't think I can do something well if I am not in the moment." Given the strides that her real estate technology firm Ohmyhome is making this year, it's clear that she has immersed herself in many moments.

Founded in 2016 by Race and her sister Rhonda, Ohmyhome, a one-stop shop for property transactions, was listed on Nasdaq this March, underscoring the company's vision to go global. The move enabled them to start Ohmyhome property listings in the US (and gave Race the unprecedented opportunity to check out rockstar-scale properties on a recent scouting tour in Los Angeles). The company has also acquired a property management firm and last month launched the beta version of HomerAl, an artificial intelligence tool that provides accurate information on property valuation, new launches and affordability for the buyer.

Race says, "A lot of customers get into difficult situations because of their lack of real estate knowledge. It's understandable because they make such transactions maybe every five or 10 years. And with all the government rules and regulations and the size of the loan they can get, it's not just a matter of household financial planning anymore."
