Drive through any neighborhood in the United States and you’ll notice a common sight - "for sale" signs, quickly replaced by "sold" signs. The housing market has made an impressive comeback since the recession, with existing home sales totaling more than 5.34 million in 2018, with 32% being first-time homebuyers. However, the process of buying a home can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. That's where real estate kiosks come in, offering 24/7 selling assistance and simplifying the home buying and selling process.
Information Kiosks: A Valuable Research Tool
Before meeting with a real estate agent, homebuyers often prefer to do some research on their own. Information kiosks provide interactive information about available agents, properties, services, locations, and areas of expertise. They play a vital role in the research and information gathering process, helping homebuyers come prepared to their initial meeting.
Thru-Glass Kiosks: Interactive Displays Around the Clock
Real estate agents may not always be available in their office, but thru-glass kiosks ensure that potential homebuyers have access to interactive information-sharing and advertising capabilities at any time. These kiosks are installed behind an exterior window, with a digital display communicating with a CPU and touch foil on the interior side of the window. Homebuyers can interact with the content on-screen by simply touching the glass from the exterior. Thru-glass kiosks not only extend business hours but also attract passersby, enticing them to engage with the screen.

Digital Signage: Showcasing Properties and Local Services
Digital signage is a powerful tool for real estate agents to highlight specific properties and services. It also provides a platform for local businesses to promote their offerings. Prospective homebuyers can not only learn about the area but also gather information on service providers they may need when purchasing a new home. Real estate agents can monetize this solution by selling advertising space on their digital signage, creating a win-win situation.
Secure Check-In: Streamlining the Appointment Process
When a homebuyer is ready to meet with a real estate agent, a check-in kiosk allows them to skip the traditional check-in process. They can quickly and easily check-in for their appointment, select the agent they're meeting with, and even notify them of their arrival. Homebuyers can also use the kiosk to fill out necessary forms or paperwork while waiting. This transparency and efficiency enhance the overall homebuying experience.
Real estate kiosks have become essential in the thriving housing market. They provide convenience, accessibility, and efficiency for both real estate agents and homebuyers. With their ability to simplify the homebuying process, these kiosks are revolutionizing the industry.
