The real estate industry stands to benefit massively from the blockchain technology.

Soon enough, one will be able to purchase rental houses, dream houses, and even parking spots on the blockchain. Matter of fact, the newly formed industry (blockchain-based real estate) is gaining popularity fast as buyers, sellers, and even investors see it as a way to interact with each other and get informed about new properties. By leveraging the blockchain, the real estate industry will be able to increase trust due to the transparent nature of the distributed ledger technology. Additionally, self-executing smart contracts will save time and reduce costs. Given that real estate transactions are so immense, the industry stands to benefit from having a shared database that holds the lease and purchases data. Also, the technology will offer more transparency through a transparent ledger system that allows brokers and agents to see the entire transaction history of a particular property. In this piece, we are going to go through a few top companies that are using the blockchain technology to transform the real estate industry.

It aims to solve the many problems that face online real estate transactions, including high costs, time wastage, and fraud. The solution is a platform that acts as a property store and asset transfer for the international real estate industry. Propy allows buyers, brokers, sellers, and agents to meet on the same platform and conduct transactions on the blockchain using smart contracts.

As exciting as the above projects are, it’s good to remember that we are still in the early days of blockchain uses within the real estate industry. And we are likely to see more applications than we can currently fathom come up as the technology matures.
