EPISODE:
Today’s real estate landscape has many real world problems that directly impact consumers. Can web3 technology help solve some of the pains buyers and sellers face? A significant challenge exposed over the last several years is the home buyer experience when competing against multiple parties. Is there a better offer and negotiation process available? Might more transparency benefit stressed out buyers and lead to more preferable terms for sellers? Rob Hahn lays out his vision for DecentRE Property Exchange, an on-chain real estate auction marketplace that seeks to empower consumers and their trusted professionals through transparency and efficiency. In this conversation Ashley and Rob dive into what a fully functioning decentralized real estate listings database could look like and unpack on-chain property auctions. Learn why blockchain technology matters to Rob for this use case, and about his future vision of a “house ledger”.
