About this episode

Race Wong and Rhonda Wong are brilliant, daring sisters and duo behind Ohmyhome, Singapore's one-stop property transaction platform. You would not have believed it but before starting a business together, they led completely different lives: one doing treasury bond options in Chicago, while the other as a Cantonese pop star in Hong Kong.

Eventually, they found each other back in Singapore, building a platform that makes renting, buying, and selling property a breeze. Today, Ohmyhome has transacted more than 5,000 homes that represent a combined value of S$1.6 billion.
