PropertyGuru Launches Reality Series "Home Run: Singapore"
In an innovative move to engage audiences and showcase the intricacies of Singapore’s property market, PropertyGuru has unveiled its first reality series, "Home Run: Singapore." This new content initiative aims to explore the personal and professional journeys of property agents as they navigate the competitive landscape of real estate in Singapore. Available on YouTube, the series also extends its reach through additional content on PropertyGuru’s Instagram and TikTok platforms.
The Agents at the Heart of the Series
"Home Run: Singapore" features three dynamic property agents—Claire Tan, Shawn Wong, and Nadiyah Kamsani—who face significant challenges in their careers. Over the course of four episodes, viewers are invited to witness not just the transactions but the human stories that underpin each property deal. Hosted by Charlyn Ding, the series captures the agents’ efforts in marketing luxury waterfront homes and showcasing heritage estates, providing a comprehensive look at the diverse aspects of Singapore’s real estate sector.
A Competitive Edge
The series introduces a competitive element, with agents vying for the title of Singapore’s top property agent. The stakes are high, as the winner will receive SG$15,000 in PropertyGuru credits. This competitive format adds an exciting layer to the narrative, allowing viewers to engage with the agents’ journeys on a deeper level. Each episode not only highlights the agents’ professional skills but also shares personal stories that resonate with the audience, enhancing the emotional connection to the concept of home.
Episode Highlights
The episodes of "Home Run: Singapore" are structured around various tasks that reflect the real challenges faced by property agents. In the first episode, the agents assist a young expatriate family in finding their ideal condominium. The second episode focuses on locating a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat that meets specific client needs. The third episode showcases character-rich heritage properties to an artist, while the finale culminates in the sale of an SG$18 million waterfront house. Each task is designed to illustrate the agents’ expertise while also revealing the unique stories of the clients they serve.
A Tribute to Singapore
Disha Goenka Das, Chief Marketing Officer of PropertyGuru Group, emphasizes that "Home Run: Singapore" transcends the typical real estate competition. “It’s a window into the personal and professional journeys of the agents and the lives they touch,” she explains. The series is positioned as a tribute to Singapore, aligning with PropertyGuru’s tradition of celebrating the country’s distinct identity. By focusing on the shared aspirations and connections that make a house a home, the series aims to inspire viewers to appreciate the emotional depth of real estate.
Engaging Audiences Across Platforms
Leading up to the premiere, PropertyGuru launched a creative social media campaign across platforms like Instagram and TikTok to generate excitement for the series.

Alex De Leon, Group Vice President of Consumer Marketing at PropertyGuru Group, notes that exclusive behind-the-scenes content and updates will be shared on social media to maintain engagement and invite viewers to follow the agents’ journeys.
Previous Initiatives and Community Engagement
Prior to "Home Run: Singapore," PropertyGuru launched initiatives such as "Scents of Singapore" and "Sense of Home," which celebrate local culture and the sensory experiences associated with home. The "Sense of Home" campaign highlights local individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities, fostering a sense of local pride.
