Traditional Real estate apps and Blockchain-based real estate apps?

So far, real estate apps are using traditional technologies to build apps. These traditional apps are limited to a few functionalities while blockchain-enabled apps provide all the functionalities of executing the property deal worldwide.

Reasons for choosing blockchain-based development platform.

1. Easy Payment method

Traditional real estate apps don’t finalise the amount of deal and can’t execute the deal. While blockchain-based real estate apps allow payment features in a very secure and transparent way.

For example,

Blockchain technology accepts payment in the crypto form. Cryptocurrency is the most secure form of financial dealing. As real estate payments are huge in amount there won’t be any chance of fraud and money laundering activities. The Owner and buyer or tenant can transfer the requisite money as per the deal with premium security.



2. Smart contracts

Blockchain enables smart contacts which are the pre-decided contract to execute on a specific date with the consent of both the members.

The whole financial deal can be pre-planned in blockchain-based apps.

For example,

A buyer and seller can enter a deal where 20% payment as a deposit, 30% in the second phase and 50% payment after transferring the title of the property.

So, blockchain technology creates win-win situations for both Owners and the buyers or tenants.

3. Remote deal

This can be considered as the biggest advantage of going for a blockchain-based app. Blockchain offers a virtual home tour. So the Buyer or tenant can check the home, its situation and the location.

Moreover, When the buyer is searching for a home in a different city then it saves lots of time and cost of travelling and checking the house.

Students who are required to travel due to the unavailability of a specific course or college will be facilitated to finalise the home before shifting.

4. Immutable transactions

“Once written stays forever.” Blockchain offers immutable transactions which mean once executed contracts can’t be remitted or misplaced. So, anyone can use it as proof of work.

Blockchain offers a decentralised financial system where no central authority is functioning the contracts.

Here the buyer is getting the home and the teller is receiving the entire payment. Now, the buyer can pay the sponsor afterwards when he will arrange the fund.

– No central authority abidance

When a buyer is taking a loan from the bank or financial institution they are not transferring the title of ownership to the buyer before the competition of loan. while in blockchain technology the buyer is receiving the title of ownership immediately and is just required to pay the remaining amount to the sponsor.

Moreover, The buyer is not under the control of any supreme authority.

– Digital identity helps in easy Documentation

Blockchain technology creates the digital identity of a buyer and a seller. This digital identity holds the paramount details of the members to enter into the contract. This digital unique identity aids in identifying the person. So, the document process is quick and faster.

7. No Agents required

So far, the traditional method of dealing in real estate happens with agents. The agent is one intermediate member who recognizes both the parties are genuine and charges fees from both for this assurance. So, it increases unnecessary charges in the form of agents’ fees.

While in blockchain technology, there won’t be any intermediary. The system itself is very transparent and genuine that it remitted the need of an agent. The buyer and the seller’s unique digital identity is enough to find him genuine and not fake.
