Real estate brokers are seeking ways to stay ahead and tech-savvy real estate agents and brokers are now experimenting with cryptocurrency by accepting it as a means of payment. Recently, Ronnie Rickner, director of Rickner Charles in Dartford, Kent revealed that one vendor has already paid their fees in bitcoin. Ronnie revealed that the seller paid their fees in bitcoin for the sale of a £600,000 property in Rochester.

Ronnie is not the only agent thinking forward. Property Industry Eye reported that other agents are already utilising digital currencies for their transactions. Go Homes reported last year that it sold a property worth £350,000 in bitcoin. On the other hand, some property agents have started taking rent and deposits in the form of cryptocurrency.

Ronnie believes that agents need to stand out in the highly competitive market. With the rise of online agents, any agent not willing to embrace change might “risk becoming extinct”. Agents need to go beyond the box of corporate structure and give clients multiple choices of how they can purchase a property. He also added: “I hope that we can lead and innovate in ways we can help our customers and move with the times by not sitting in the same box.”
Ronnie revealed that he offers his clients the unique option of paying in other digital currencies such as ethereum and ripple. He also claims that the benefits are enormous as clients find the payment system more flexible and faster and overseas buyers equally benefit from lower transfer rates. However, the agent is still faced with meeting anti-money laundering obligations. Ronnie there was no law surrounding the money launching and cryptocurrency sector at the moment. He added, “We are closely monitoring any change in this legislation or our duties but we make sure that we do all the required checks on clients before we provide any services.”

Millennials typically refer to people born between 1982 and 2009. They are the largest users of digital devices since they were born in the digital age. However, a new report, “Millennials With Money” by Edelman reveals that millennials hold a relatively open stance on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

Millennials are the largest demographic dedicated to the crypto sector. In the United States alone, they constitute for over 25 percent of the population. The report revealed that about 61 percent of millennials utilise peer to peer payment apps. A quarter of the people surveyed already use or hold cryptocurrency, while 31 percent are interested in using some kind of digital currency. On the other hand, 74 percent are of the opinion that blockchain is a technological innovation that would make financial systems more secure. Equally, 75 to 77 percent agreed that the global financial system is built to favour the rich.

Also a report by U.K. newspaper, Telegraph, claims that 37 per cent of those under the age of 35 have a plan to invest in digital assets at some point in the future. The report also stated that a third have already invested and have plans to take up bigger positions at some point. Experts have put forward various opinions stating that the younger demographic seems more open to the ideals of financial freedom. Therefore, the nature of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency seems appealing to millennials. The testimony the report cited was of Lucy Barnes a 23 year old young investor who invested in Ether and Litecoin in July 2017. However the report stated that Barnes heeded to warnings and made a modest investment of just £200. The investment however increase more than double the original value.

As the crypto sector continues to grow, prominent firms, institutional traders and more investors continue to invest more into the industry. Also, millennials will likely continue the trend of accepting and using cryptocurrency.
