The real estate sector in particular is experiencing a tech revolution, with innovations reshaping how properties are marketed, managed, and transacted. From virtual tours to blockchain for secure transactions, technology is enhancing efficiency and transparency. So let’s go over our top five picks to keep an eye on going into 2025

This innovation is particularly beneficial for international investors and busy professionals who might not have time to view multiple properties.
2. Blockchain Technology; Blockchain is revolutionizing real estate transactions by ensuring secure and transparent deals.
