Vacation rental houses. Parking spots. Even dream homes. Before long, they'll all be purchased on a blockchain. In fact, blockchain-based real estate is already gaining popularity as a way for buyers, sellers and investors to interact with each other and learn about properties.

But why is blockchain poised to give the real estate industry such a significant leg up? First and foremost, by leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), it increases trust through greater transparency. And in real-estate, trust — of a website, an agent, a listing — is imperative. Blockchain also expedites contract processes, saves time and reduces costs.
