Reviews
“This book, inspired by the creation of the Foundation for International Blockchain and Real Estate Expertise (FIBREE), offers a phenomenal overview of the state of affairs of publicly available information examining the potential of blockchain recording the real estate transactions. Although real estate information is becoming increasingly digitized, it is fragmented and available on disparate systems, lacking transparency and creating a greater potential for fraud. Dr. Veuger recognizes blockchain as the technology with significant potential to drive transparency, efficiency, and cost savings in real estate markets. The blockchain-based smart contracts are the key enablers with potential to revolutionize real estate transactions related to sale, renting, and management. The book identifies the complexity of the real estate transactional ecosystem and the need to provide business incentives for each stakeholder in such a system as dominant obstacles to overcome before the wider use of blockchain in real estate applications.” – Dragan Boscovic, Research Professor, School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (CIDSE); Co – Director Center for Assured and Scalable Data Engineering (CASCADE); Director, Blockchain Research Lab (BRL)
