Invest in government verified real estate without flinching an eye.

Comment

Inspiration

The recent boom in real estate market in Pakistan has made it a lucrative prospect for individuals to invest in this sector and have returns on their investments fast and big. But not all the players in the sector believe in fair playing. They trick their clients into marketing gimmicks to sell fake files and property for monetary gain. On top of that government of Pakistan has no way of knowing exactly who sold/buy a property which causes tax evasion and loss to the economy. The fraudulent practices in the sector also lowers the investment confidence resulting in degraded economic activity.

What it does

  1. Real estate agent/developer requests for project/unit approval.
  2. Government approves and issues a real time QR code, which the agent/developer can use in his/her printing materials or on premises.
  3. Investor scans the code using the mobile app.
  4. Backend verifies either the property is verified or not.
  5. Once the investor makes sure that this property is good, he/she will be able to do the investing.
  6. Real time record of buying/selling will go into the government dashboard/database.

How we built it

This project is at ideation stage. An API needs to be build to be consumed by dashboards and mobile apps. APIs/Backend will be built in Laravel (PHP), dashboards in React JS and mobile apps for Android/iOS in React Native. (see project media for data flow)

What we learned

Qarib Kazmi and Hania Zia talks helped to bring more clarity and refinement to solution model/UI that is being presented.

What's next for Digi State

To create an MVP of the solution and seek seed funding.
