Why is Demand for Real Estate Broking Firms Expected to Remain Steady?

“Rising Real Estate Prices across Regions”

Growing real estate prices worldwide are a leading factor driving the demand for real estate brokerage. People are facing difficulties regarding the purchase of new properties. This is leading them to shift their focus towards the occupation of residential houses on rent.

With the increasing focus of people on rental houses, demand for real estate brokers is rising, who navigate clients and help them in finding rented properties. Brokers are both individuals and organizations who have extensive market knowledge and a professional network through which they help clients find a property on rent. These brokers charge clients a fee as a commission for their services, which will lead to the expansion of the market over the coming period.

“Technological Innovation in Real Estate Brokerage Industry”

Technology is positively transforming the real estate brokerage industry with the implementation of artificial intelligence and 3D virtual tours. Real estate companies are integrating artificial intelligence in online platforms to perform various functions relevant to property search and management.

Artificial intelligence is an essential tool to cater to people looking to buy or sell a property, detecting suitable properties specific to client needs, and others.

What is Restraining Real Estate Brokerage Demand Growth?

“Evolution of Online Platforms Connecting Buyers Directly to Customers”

The market is expected to be hampered by the evolution of online platforms that connect buyers and tenants directly to customers and does away with agents, brokers, and other intermediates. This is resulting in a decline in brokers’ revenue generated out of the commission that they charge to customers while buying, selling, or renting properties.

• For instance, NoBroker, a real estate platform, is integrated with artificial intelligence and algorithms that help buyers and tenants connect with owners directly and saves brokerage fees. As per a study by the company, the platform has saved around US$ 150 million in brokerage fees every year.

Owing to the evolution of apps that avoid brokerage fees and connect owners and buyers or tenants directly, the market is expected to observe a decline in revenue growth to some extent.
