Why use online real estate deposit software

The emergence of online platforms that accept digital deposits for real estate has raised numerous questions and concerns: Is this the future or is it opening us to more risk? This article explores the benefits of utilising a real estate deposit platform, the process involved, and the reasons why they are a popular choice among buyers and sellers.

Why choose an online platform for real estate deposits?

Here are the reasons why some people prefer paying their deposits online rather than using a traditional bank cheque:

• Convenience: By leveraging an online platform, you can eliminate the need for physical paperwork and time-consuming visits to banks (not to mention saving on those bank cheque fees). Letting buyers make their deposits digitally means they can be made remotely, while in transit, or right there in person even if they forgot their chequebook, allowing for a hassle-free process.
• Security: Realtair has partnered with Zepto to provide a secure payment gateway for buyers to make their deposits, avoiding the risk sending bank deposit details over email has been known to cause. With robust encryption and authentication protocols in place, your deposit is more safe and secure than it’ll ever be compared to bank transfers where email scammers can alter account numbers or risk losing your cheque on its way to the bank.
• Efficiency: No more waiting for buyers to send you a confirmation – once a deposit is made digitally, the platform will send you a confirmation. In 1-2 business days, the deposit will hit your agency’s trust account. There’s no need to stew until Monday to process a cheque (or multiple cheques) and wait on the admin team to verify it’s all done.
