  3. Our deep understanding of local and global economics, and financial and political trends makes us unique real estate investment consultants. 
  4. We are drivers of economic growth by fractionalizing real estate investment opportunities using blockchain as the underlying technology. 
  5. We proudly built a platform that is compliant with the SEC for the issuance and distribution of real estate security tokens, the cherry on top of the crowdfunding, leverage and syndication of smart and profitable real estate investments, the best way to connect and build everlasting relationships with the investor community worldwide. 

What’s your top prediction for 2023?

There will be mass adoption of the concept of real estate tokenization and the growth of the secondary market of security tokens and transaction volume. This will allow tokens to become a recognized investment vehicle that holders can use as collateral for loans/mortgages in a matter of minutes. 

Digital banks — and traditional banks looking to get into DeFi — will be willing to lend 50 percent up to 70 percent LTV in a real estate token-backed mortgage, and smart contracts will automate mortgage payments using funds generated through rental income from the token. 

What’s your top tip for freshly licensed brokers?

Freshly licensed brokers should start learning right away about fintech and the adoption and benefits of real estate tokenization. Blockchain provides solutions using smart contracts to evolve how real estate transactions will be conducted.
