PropertyScout, a Comprehensive Real Estate Trading and Rental Company, Closes Series A Funding Round Exceeding 190 Million Baht
PropertyScout (propertyscout.co.th) is a PropTech startup in Thailand that has successfully raised over 190 million baht in its Series A funding round, led by Altara Ventures. This brings the total funding to over 300 million baht. Additionally, companies like Partech and other investors such as Hustle Fund, AngelCentral, Asymmetry VC, and Dr. Carsten Rahlfs (partner at Waterland Private Equity) have also participated in this round.
This funding will enable PropertyScout to expand its business, which has initially launched in Thailand, by doubling its investment in technology platform development! The goal is to create a large, modern platform that is continuously updated. Importantly, our database is currently one of the largest in the country, fully meeting the needs of those interested in real estate, including both customers and our partners. With a clear goal and efficient operations, PropertyScout is experiencing rapid growth. Furthermore, we plan to enter the Southeast Asian market as well.
Speaking of our team, in addition to having over 200 quality members, the company is also looking to welcome more colleagues and ideologies across all departments, including product and software development, sales, property management, marketing, and operations.
PropertyScout was founded in 2020 by Mario Peng (CEO), Dr. Marco Barth (COO), and Salita Kanornsiri (CSO) with a comprehensive real estate transaction management platform model that connects over 1,800 agents and agencies, making it easy to reach buyers, renters, and property owners. PropertyScout has gained satisfaction and trust from thousands of customers every month. Our platform is packed with over 200,000 interesting properties from just three initial markets: Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya, with plans to expand into other major cities. All of this makes us a comprehensive real estate platform aiming to digitize 90% of all real estate transaction processes!
The advantages of being digital include creating highly efficient workflows for agents, allowing us to deliver outstanding services to customers and enabling agents to close sales quickly. Our operations are transparent and verifiable, providing professional and sincere service. All of this has made PropertyScout a popular platform for buying, selling, and renting properties in Thailand, receiving 5-star reviews from numerous customers.
“As we have encountered, many customers face numerous challenges in real estate transactions in Thailand and Southeast Asia. Therefore, PropertyScout was created to address these issues, and I must say that this platform has been very successful in solving problems. Currently, we are the largest hub for agents and co-brokers in Bangkok. PropertyScout is ready to serve all customers and agencies in Thailand through our platform, which greatly benefits and provides convenience to both customers and agents, helping agents close sales more quickly and reliably. Thus, we want to help everyone buy, sell, or rent homes easily and without fraud. Right now, we are starting in Thailand, and we will expand into the Southeast Asian region later,” - Mario Peng (Founder and CEO of PropertyScout).
Tan Chow Boon, Partner at Altara Ventures, commented further on this investment, stating, “The establishment of PropertyScout by the three founders, Salita, Marco, and Mario, aims to make real estate business in Thailand and Southeast Asia easy, reliable, and safe. This has led to the company growing steadily and strongly by over seven times in just a few years. The rapid and robust growth is due to PropertyScout having experienced founders and a skilled team. We are very excited to support and be part of the change in real estate buying and selling across Southeast Asia for the better.”
