Asia's No. 1 online property group makes clean sweep by winning in 4 markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Philippines. This is a historical achievement as it is the first company to have ever won across four markets for the same category.

Said Patrick Grove, Executive Chairman of the iProperty.com Group, "This is truly a great achievement for our Singapore website and the iProperty.com network as a whole. In Singapore, we are already the clear market leader in the online property space, with over 25,000 quality property listings and 200,000 archive listings. The fact that we have won the "Best Property Portal" award in every single market we operate in is clear testimony that the iProperty.com network can not only compete but also triumph within the highly competitive Asia Pacific online property arena. This prestigious win definitely reinforces our position in Singapore and the region as Asia's leading online property group."
