Back in 2008, he conceptualised, built and launched the first property portal in Singapore to feature 720-degree virtual tours of more than 2,800 projects.<br \/>\nHe also developed an analytics portal, providing historical real estate transaction data to help consumers make more informed decisions on their purchases.<br \/>\nStarted in May this year, SRI is a collaboration between Koe and his business partners Bruce Lye and Benson Koh. Lye and Koh co-founded another property firm called SRI5000 six years ago, after it split from SLP Realty.<br \/>\n\u201cWe believe with our combined expertise in real estate and technology innovation, we will be able to constantly innovate,\u201d said Lye, whose expertise lies in marketing luxury properties, especially good class bungalows (GCBs) and Sentosa Cove homes.<br \/>\nKoh added that SRI will focus on the management of strata-titled properties. \u201cWe truly believe in developing technology applications to elevate the experience of (our) stakeholders, from developers, homeowners, salespersons and consumers,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, all three men have ambitious plans to grow the company\u2019s workforce from 150 to more than 200 estate agents by early 2017. They also hope to announce five property management appointments by the end of this year.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nRomesh Navaratnarajah, Senior Editor at PropertyGuru, wrote this story.
