REAL Messenger Holdings and Nova Vision Acquisition today announced a definitive merger agreement with a potential pre-money enterprise value of approximately $150 million at closing.
Through the use of social network and domain-specific proprietary AI-trained data, REAL will offer an internationally universal platform for real estate transactions. By combining dynamic data with static data, the company’s AI engine can help to unlock new insights, determine workflows and improve decision-making and productivity at every step of the real estate journey, according to a press release. REAL Messenger’s social app and the ecosystem that it enables are now available in 35 countries.
