Real estate is a complicated subject if you’re not particularly into finance and property development. In fact, there have been a lot of different applications which have been built for the very purpose of simplifying what real estate is all about. For example: buying and/or selling real estate in 2020, or even investing in the sector is something which requires financial, market and technological knowledge on a number of levels, the reason why startups who built real estate applications are so successful nowadays. Let’s dive into the digitalization which is happening nowadays.
Properties Are The New eCommerce Value
10 years ago, property investment of any form would have relied a lot on face to face communications between the buyer and the seller. If you were looking to invest in a property, in fact, you were required to both meet the person who was selling the land/property and the agency or the broker who were responsible for the listing. On top of that, minor or major legal fees would have to be applied to this very process, resulting in a long, bulky and sometimes frustrating process.
With this in mind, it’s not complicated to understand why the world of real estate has approached eCommerce setups: treating properties like simple products is, in fact, something which has started the digitalization process of companies who were focusing on auctions, whether if residential or commercial. Commercial property auctions, in fact, have become quite the example in regards to eCommerce approaches to the real estate sector.
Using More Marketing Strategies
If there’s an indisputable truth within the whole business world, that would be the fact that digital marketing has taken over a number of direct marketing approaches. It is in fact pretty safe to say that advertising online has a much higher ROI than tv ads, billboards and similar. With this being said, it’s relatively easy to understand why the whole digitalization process was highly valued from brokers and property agencies all around the world. There are tons of SEO, PPC and copywriting-related strategies which can be taken into consideration when it comes to digital marketing applied to the real estate sector and, given its “fresh” approach to the digital world, it’s also very easy to say that these will very likely cause a big, positive impact to the companies who are looking to grow in the shortest timeframe. The usage of digital marketing strategies is becoming, indeed, a big staple in the real estate sector.
