PropTech doesn’t fully understand real estate. Selling a family-owned business property isn’t just a financial transaction—it's an emotional milestone representing years of hard work and legacy. Brokers offer personalized support during these transitions, guiding clients through the financial and emotional complexities. While PropTech can streamline processes, it can’t replace the empathy and nuanced advice brokers provide. A real estate transaction has too many dynamic parts to be fully automated. PropTech will not replace brokers and agents. #aiproptech #miamirealestate #proptech #realestatetechnology

"Proptech platform Vouch has introduced a new service that aims to simplify the handling of bills during void periods for agents. The service ensures bills are in the right name at the right time and reduces admin for letting agents. It can alert utilities and councils about the transition and ensure billing information is up to date. Agents can switch responsibility for bills to the landlord or agents if payment handling is part of their service offering. Vouch also provides agents with a bespoke dashboard for all property billing information. The service aims to reduce admin, open up revenue opportunities, and reduce the risk of human error." - Letting Agent Today (Get the scoop on the hottest news and trends in Proptech – subscribe to my daily newsletter!

Removal of indexation may hasten Big Real Estate players' shift towards tokenization. With the recent removal of indexation benefits, long-term real estate investments are taking a hit. These investments were usually considered stable, but now, with higher capital gains tax, investors might look for options that are more liquid and flexible when it comes to Real Estate(which is not for residential purpose). Let me explain why I think this may happen Since there’s no more indexation benefits, holding real estate long-term isn’t as appealing. The traditional market is slow, but tokenization can speed things up and make it more attractive. Fewer people would want to invest a large amount of money in a single real estate asset if it's only for the purpose of investment. This could lead to a smaller investor base for certain property types. Here is why the big players would like tokenisation: Enhanced Liquidity: Tokenization allows fractional ownership, making it easier to trade on secondary markets, similar to stock investments. Broader Investor Base: Lower investment thresholds democratize access to high-value real estate, attracting retail investors and increasing capital inflow. Who among the big players may lead this transition? Traditional Real Estate Platforms: Platforms which already deal with fractional ownership, are well-positioned to adopt tokenization to enhance liquidity. PropTech Startups: Startups focused on innovative real estate investment solutions, are likely to embrace tokenization to offer more flexible investment options. Real Estate Developers: Large developers with significant commercial real estate holdings might explore tokenization to attract retail investors and enhance liquidity. Financial Institutions & REITs: REITs and financial institutions with substantial real estate portfolios could explore tokenization to offer new, innovative investment products appealing to modern investors. It may be too soon to predict the trend, but if the sector does not adapt and innovate soon, there will be an impact that will last for a generation. Tokenization offers a promising alternative, providing liquidity, broadening the investor base, and offering faster exit options, mitigating the impacts of the new tax regime. #RealEstate #Tokenization #Investment #PropTech #FractionalOwnership #Finance #Innovation #RealX

Why Real Estate Brokers Are Here to Stay – What PropTech Companies Miss About the Industry In recent years, PropTech companies have promised to "revolutionize" real estate, sidelining traditional brokers as outdated middlemen. But despite flashy tech and heavy investment, brokers remain indispensable. Why? It’s simple: Real estate is about people, not just transactions. PropTech simplifies the process but overlooks the emotional, complex nature of buying and selling property. Brokers bring empathy, deep local market knowledge, and the personal touch no app can replace. Why do consumers still choose brokers? Because they want an expert, not an algorithm, especially when things go wrong. So, if PropTech is truly the future, why does it keep burning investor money? Read the full article to explore why brokers are here to stay and how PropTech companies need to rethink their approach. https://lnkd.in/g98s_eUS

Strong words have been put up by Chairman, National Association of REALTORS® Mr Sumanth sir. Prop-tech companies can use a collaborative approach to grow the business as Cake is too big to eat. having seen a prop tech business growing closely and then getting associated with brokerage angle just to increase their cash flow says a lot about Indian market and it's acceptable nature to 100% tech platforms. Although it may look lucrative for companies to use their investors and funders money and survive but I have not seen any one thriving on this business model. The journey is long and the destination is far. Till then, everyone needs to survive and run the show. #realestate #brokers #agents #industry #rera #startup
