About PropTech Pioneer
People spend a surprising amount of time planning a holiday or buying a new car. They spend weeks or even months reading reviews, comparing prices, watching videos trying to get every piece of information they can about why they should buy a Mercedes over a Porsche, or go to Finland instead of Australia for their next holiday.
However, the same people spend surprisingly little time doing their research when buying an investment property. Yet, it is likely to be one of the most significant investment decisions they ever make. It is not because investors are happy to rely on information provided by property agents or are happy to accept a lot of risk.
I think this is because small investors do not have access to the information and resources to make truly informed investment decisions.
Investors have three problems investing off-plan
Whether you are an experienced investor or you are buying new build property for the first time, you have the same three problems:
- Accessing reliable new build market information
- Being able to accurately forecast your investment return (after taxes)
- Determine where or not you are getting a good deal
We built PropTech Pioneer for small investors to give them access to new build investment information. We want you to have all the information, so you can make better new build investment decisions. At PropTech Pioneer, our mission is to create an open and transparent marketplace for all involved in the new build property industry. We believe new technology is the key to this transformation, hence the name PropTech Pioneer.
Our team is currently engaged with several disruptive ventures intended to improve market transparency, increase investor access to knowledge, improve market efficiency and reduce developer market access costs.

We have been selected as the exclusive sales & servicing agent for a new global real estate portal with JD.com one of China’s largest eCommerce platforms.
