THE FUTURE AS WE
SEE IT

With technologies like Virtual Reality, potential real-estate buyers can experience walking inside a model house they’re exploring. Newspaper ads or face to face meetings have reduced, and have been replaced with quick 360 degree views on the mobile phone and real time customer feedback from a site visit. Discovering, Selling, renting, broking, paying etc have been digitized to quite an extent, with ability to digi-sign agreements, ability to maintain a digi-locker for storing & easily sharing key identity / address proofs and ability to make faster, peer to peer payments via mobile.

Smart Homes
Smart homes is changing the real estate industry by giving the user convenience to control all the electronic devices at home through their smartphones. With the ability to watch security cameras from one’s smartphone, it has increased convenience of safety monitoring and control.
Example:Smart Home devices also can let you monitor the safety of your home, unlock doors to friends for temporary access and even turn your regular appliances “smarter”.
Drones
Drones can enable realtime streaming of aerial videos or photos of a real-estate project to give live information to people. Imagine, Drones streaming live data from a construction site, to customers who want to keep a track of the progress.
Example:Using a modern ready-to-fly camera drone like the Phantom 4, we can create dramatic shots combined with GPS enabled feature to give people an engaging, valuable experience.
Google Tech
GCI (Google Cultural Institute lab) and Google Cardboard are two technological advancements that can be used to enrich customer experience in real estate using “Virtual Reality” (VR) techniques. People with VR tools, can have a closer look at the property they wish to buy, remotely.
Example:Google Cardboard gives a virtual reality experience of walking inside a house one is planning to buy. GCI enables people to zoom into various corners and details of the house, to have a closer look at it.
