Real Estate is changing dramatically as new technologies transform the way real estate transactions are completed.  One of these technologies is cryptocurrency.  The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies has enabled some individuals to sell or buy a house as the sole medium of exchange, and it’s becoming more common.

What is Cryptocurrency?  Cryptocurrency is a form of money that’s digital.  These currencies are virtual and do not exist as a physical bill or coin. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized meaning they are not issued from a central bank so individuals can exchange cryptocurrencies without involving financial institutions.

Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies are being used to purchase real estate all over the world. Sellers have the option to accept the digital currencies directly or have them converted into United States dollars.

No matter which form of currency you use, you should approach every real estate transaction with the knowledge and understanding you need to complete the sale accurately and efficiently. Check with your Title Company to see if they are able to assist in closing cryptocurrency real estate transactions. Good luck out there!
