The rise of real estate technology

In general, technology has played a huge role in revolutionizing the real estate industry, especially with regard to business services and executions. From the rise of social media platforms for better property marketing to the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for transforming property experiences, technology has risen to become a crucial part of the real estate process for businesses and individuals alike.

Technologies used by real estate companies in the Philippines

Real estate companies in the Philippines often leverage virtual platforms to market, sell, and share information about their available properties. With options ranging from detailed and interactive social media posts, to full-scale websites with VR experiences, businesses in this industry use technology to better serve their clients, no matter where they are in the country.

DMCI Homes, for example, has been known to provide digital business solutions to elevate the living experiences of its condo-dwellers. With services like 360° property virtual tours and walkthroughs, live online property presentations, and online reservation and payment facilities, our company uses technology to provide a seamless customer experience, so that investors and residents can better adapt to condo living today.

Property technology in condo living

For the condo-dwelling lifestyle, innovative property technologies are also necessary to enjoy a fuller experience from the comfort of one’s home. From built-in, commercial-grade internet services to 24/7 CCTV and security coverage, developers in the Philippines often utilize such property technology to improve the quality of life for their clients too.

At DMCI Homes, we always value the role technology plays in improving our residents’ experiences - which is why we have rolled out digital innovations like our DMCI Homes Communities app to consistently ensure business continuity, customer satisfaction, and convenient condo-living services.

Addressing real estate development needs with the DMCI Homes Communities app

This platform by our expert developers comes with a wide range of digital services and amenities, all to make your life easier as an investor or tenant. Transform your condominium experience into a smarter, more technologically advanced one with the following in-app features:

1. Registered resident and unit tracker

The first feature on this app is its registered resident and unit tracker. With regard to residents, this tracker can tell you about the number of registered residents at your given condo location, and can also inform you of the number of residents using your condo's amenities at any given time.

Smart real estate technology does this by generating a QR code that residents can scan to enter the property and use its amenities. With the help of this household and visitor management tool, you can keep track of your household members and streamline visitor registration for enhanced security and convenience. You’ll also know exactly how many individuals are roaming around the condo premises, thus providing that extra level of transparency that you might want for your own security.

As for the unit tracker, it simply helps you discover the number of units registered across DMCI properties in just a few clicks. So if you’re in the market for a new unit, you can easily see where they may be available across our multiple developments.

2. RideShare service

This next feature was derived from the innovative RideShare solution piloted at various DMCI Homes properties throughout the years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The initial carpooling program allowed residents to share a ride from their condo homes to various drop-off locations, serving as a safe and environmental answer to the issue of inconvenient commutes. It has since expanded to include a bookable carpool service via the DMCI Homes Communities app.

You can simplify your booking process, track your ride in real time, and save on the cost of your commute with this incredibly helpful feature. Just click on the RideShare tab on this platform to book a smooth commute from your condo today.
