Ray White Lower North Shore

people at a property can be a slow and onerous experience with additional staff needed for check ins and sanitising, and fewer buyers allowed inside the building at a given time drawing out hour- long inspections into multi-hour affairs. Buyers too, though buoyed by low interest rates, were deterred by inefficient inspections. Organising one-on-one in-person private inspections has been one part of the solution, and in some ways particularly with prestige property, this helps further validate the suitability of the buyer to the property. Virtual reality, 3D mapping and even the humble application of Facetime make digital inspections an appealing alternative for prospective buyers, particularly the many eager expats aspiring to return to the Lower North Shore. Digitising processes that were once done in person in an office has transformed traditional processes, improving ease, accessibility and simultaneously making the sector smarter. Our ability to analyse more data, be accessible online and be responsive in real-time while making the process more efficient and user friendly has been greatly improved by technological advances in our sector. In parallel, the digitisation of the borrowing process is making the end-to-end experience of buying more seamless than ever before. New ways of funding aim to make it less complicated, more accessible and increase liquidity for both the demand and supply side. The way the many parties in a property transaction interact is undergoing a shapeshift too. Platforms that connect to allow users to interact with stakeholders, such as buyers, sellers, conveyancers, solicitors, mortgage brokers, agents, owners, tenants, maintenance providers, are increasing collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
