Today, online business is developing at lightning speed, and this also applies to real estate. Blind offers based on videos and virtual tours are no longer a rarity, and the industry is heading towards minimizing in-person communication.
Traditional inspections can be a waste of time. They require a physical presence, which is not always convenient for the owner, who may not even live in the same city. If there are multiple houses across the country, it’s an even bigger waste of time.
Automated inspections are the next step in property maintenance. They allow you to check the condition of the property without visiting it in person. Water leak and humidity sensors can now detect issues in real time. The same applies to temperature sensors, which can detect heat leaks or pipe problems. Think of it as a continuous maintenance check that never stops.
Using a phone camera to record video tours also works both ways. These video tours allow all parties to record information about the house’s condition, so no one will feel deceived. And AI analysis will help with data processing and providing an assessment automatically.
This allows tenants to maintain their privacy and owners to save time and track information about the house more precisely.
Of course, mandatory legal checks or fixing a specific problem can’t be done remotely. But simplification and automation will be inevitable, even in one of the most traditionally “grounded” industries. It’s simply more effective.
