Let us have a look at a few ways in which technology is transforming the real estate industry:
Search and Buy: Nowadays, people have become smart enough to research about their buys online before showing interest, and real estate is no different. The search for a good investment begins online with research to buy, sell or rent properties. This gets to make the process seamless. Likes, shares, and comments help us analyse and gain insights of which content clients like and furthermore what they are looking for. Interactive Modelling
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is undoubtedly transforming how real estate projects are done.
It helps you complete information on the project from design to optimization by managing the lifecycle of any building with the help of digital technology. BIM is an intelligent 3D model-based software that provides construction, architecture, and engineering professionals the insights and tools to plan, design, construct and manage buildings. Also, it helps us create the walkthrough videos for our customers, for them to understand what an under-construction property will look like post completion.This same software also helps customers visualise their interiors in real time. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality:
The two immersive technologies namely Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), are revolutionizing real estate sector by providing convenience and unmatched experiences. It helps you to virtually take a tour to the property without physically being there. 3D renderings provide a 360-degree tour of the property from customer’s phone anytime, anywhere to experience the final product. This allows you to share the content with your near and dear ones, while taking the important decision of buying the home of your dreams. Nothing is left to imagination as everything is documented.
Video Conferencing: Specialized sales teams are more than happy to give you a digital presentation and conduct video conferencing to talk to you face to face without you having to leave your house and showcase a walkthrough of the property selected. This helps establish a personal connection with the consumer. As understood that home buying is an emotional decision.
Digital Documentation & Payments
Gone are the days, when you needed to prepare cheques, arrange for cash and go through tiresome processes to secure bank loans. Today, Fund Transfers, paper work payments and all miss expenses can happen through secured and trusted payment gateways & NEFT online transfers, which creates an automatic history & proof of the transaction. Banks have also innovated, and today loan process is so simplified where it gives you an entire break up of your eligibility,your EMIs, upcoming payment dates and also lets your compare rate of interest digitally. Also, the manual documentation resulted in human-errors. However, today, automated software and tools provide digital buying or lease agreements that can be validated by local laws with government authorities & real estate authorities like RERA in a fraction of time.
