Team Story

Started in late 2017, we had a discussion of combining the previous businesses together which are; online gaming and real estate. The concept is just like online casinos wherein the money doesn't leave the "house". It sparked the question, "what if we treat real estate like online gaming wherein properties doesn't leave the platform and can still be transacted anytime and anywhere?" For over 11 years of doing traditional real estate business, we've been a witness of how tedious real estate processes are in the Philippines.

From the manual documentation procedures up to the issues with remittances, we've experienced it all. That's why we decided to shift the business from traditional real estate into a property technology platform because we believe that everything is going digital -- and real estate is not an exception. For over a year, we've gathered up reputable team members that helped us develop the product in order for us to achieve our goal -- which is to make real estate easy and accessible for everyone providing fast, low-cost and secure way of doing real estate transactions.

Starting this journey is very difficult because we are challenging one of the most traditional industry. There's a lot of resistance from real estate stakeholders and from regulators, but difficult doesn't mean impossible. Now, we are about to launch our product, we've got traction from the industry stakeholders and gearing towards becoming the first ever Digital Asset Exchange in the Philippines.
