He noted that many property agencies struggle to keep up with all the regulatory changes in the industry, as well as the changing financial calculations for acquiring a property. He urged property agents to master the basics in property financing, refinancing, taxation and CPF.

Proptech is technology and real estate coming together to propel the real estate industry forward. The proptech ecosystem is flourishing now in many parts of the world, thanks in large part to ample venture capital, community efforts in local tech hubs, and an increasing realisation that there is a real need for innovation in the sector.
Proptech will have an impact on traditional business operating models. Whether this impact turns out to be positive or negative depends largely on how real estate players will use them to their advantage. These technologies are however still a long way away from replacing human judgment, touch, and ability to react to dynamic changes, which are all critical to the decision-making process.
PCA’s launch of its proptech tool comes on the heels of JLL and Lendlease’s (two of the world’s leading international real estate companies) announcement on Sep 4, that five proptech start-ups that have been selected for the first Singapore-based regional proptech accelerator. JLL said its programme to identify the proptech start-ups with potential, received many applications from start-ups across Asia, and the eventual five selected were early stage companies chosen based on the commercial viability and scalability of their idea, as well as each team’s strength and technical competency. The chosen start-ups offer a good mix of solutions for office and leasing, construction productivity, facilities management and Internet of things (IoT) platforms.
Colliers International Singapore, another prominent global real estate company, on Sep 11 announced that ten startups from around the world are convened in Toronto, Canada for this first global proptech accelerator.
