Mobile apps match potential buyers with available agents in their neighborhoods. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/propy.com\/browse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/5-technologies-that-are-changing-real-estate-now\">virtual reality<\/a> (VR) home tours are slowly starting to replace open houses. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to a November 2018 NAR report of <a href=\"https:\/\/propy.com\/browse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/buyer-bios-profiles-of-recent-home-buyers-and-sellers\">Profiles<\/a> of Recent Home Buyers and Sellers, 83% of all respondents frequently used the Internet to search for their home, and 90% of buyers found online photos to be very useful. These figures may help explain the popularity and disruptive potential of online real estate platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The NAR also found that while 50% of shoppers started the search process online, 90% made their purchase through an agent or broker. It seems as if consumers find the Internet to be a useful source of information. However, real estate professionals are still needed to help buyers navigate the market.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplifying the Home Buying Process<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Internet and mobile applications are changing how people search for real estate. New platforms like Propy make it possible to close a deal in a virtual environment. On <a href=\"http:\/\/propy.com\">Propy<\/a>, users access listings aggregated from MLS. For the transaction, paperwork is uploaded and signed through the company\u2019s All-in-One Transaction Platform. Pertinent documents, including the deed, are stored on the blockchain. There, they are securely encrypted, but they can still be available to interested parties. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile apps and improved browsing experiences have combined to create an on-demand economy where many products and services can be had within minutes by the simple tap of a finger.
