What is RealT?

‘RealT’ is a hybrid of the word realty, real estate property, and token. RealT is a platform that offers simplified investments in real estate. Our mission is to democratize access to real estate investment opportunities, curated by a team of real estate professionals.

RealT sells real estate property through the internet, allowing real estate to be purchased from nearly anywhere in the world. RealT properties are fractionalizable, so suitable investors can invest any amount that fits their needs. Additionally, RealT has reduced the time to purchase real estate from a minimum of 30 days and numerous steps with third parties, to just 30 minutes and on your phone or computer.

With tokenization, real estate investments can be made affordable to nearly anyone. A single token for RealT properties costs around $50 per token, which are the lowest investment minimums the real estate industry is able to offer. Traditional pen+paper competitors to RealT have $5,000-10,000 investment minimums.

Real estate is also a notoriously illiquid industry. By turning real estate into digital tokens, real estate can be accessed by far larger numbers of potential buyers, both due to fractionalization of the tokens and the potential reach of internet-based markets. The larger market participants that digital tokens are able to reach increases the liquidity of real estate. Additionally, financial applications on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain offer solutions to accessing liquidity for valuable tokenized assets.

On the website you can only buy whole tokens.

On the secondary market (DEX or OTC market) you can buy fractions of tokens.

RealTokens are the purchasable asset; the digital representation of ownership in the LLC/Inc. that owns the deed to the property. Each property on RealT has its own set of unique RealTokens associated with it. If you want to know more about the Legal at RealT feel free to check out our article about it.

Our fees?

Regarding the 10% listing fee, when RealT removes it, governance tokens (REG) are issued to investors to compensate. If you want to know more, click here.
