Quick Answer

What is Real Estate Tokenization?

Real estate tokenization is the process of turning a property into blockchain-based digital tokens that represent real ownership. Each token is a fractional share of the asset, which means investors can buy into a building, home, or land from as little as $100. A real estate tokenization platform uses security token standards like ERC 3643 or ERC 1400 to manage ownership, enforce compliance rules, and keep records transparent and tamper-proof. This makes tokenizing real estate easier to buy, sell, and manage, while supporting automated rent distributions and compliant secondary trading where allowed.

The Challenge

A mid-sized real estate fund aimed to offer fractional ownership in a Class A office building but faced $50,000 minimums and 60-day closing cycles, paper-based cap table management, and no liquidity options for investors. The traditional syndication model, which they used to operate their business, limited their ability to recruit more than 35 accredited investors.

Our Solution

Our team developed an ERC-3643 compliant tokenization platform which enables automated accreditation verification, a $5,000 minimum investment, instant settlement, real-time property performance dashboards, and automated quarterly rent distributions. The platform uses its Yardi property management system for precisely tracking income.

Industry Challenges

Traditional Real Estate Investment Is Fundamentally Broken

Legacy real estate investing still relies on slow, manual processes that shut out most investors and lock up capital for years. That’s why tokenization of real estate is gaining traction, with real estate tokenization platforms making ownership, compliance, and payouts simpler and easier to manage.

High Minimum Investments

Most premium deals require $25,000–$100,000+ upfront, which blocks the majority of potential investors. Even REITs don’t provide direct ownership in a specific property.

Long Lock-In Periods

Private real estate often ties up capital for 5–10 years with limited exit options. If investors need liquidity or find a better opportunity, they usually can’t move quickly.

Slow Closing Timelines

Property transactions can take 30–90 days due to title checks, escrow processes, multiple intermediaries, and paperwork-heavy workflows.

Fees That Add Up Fast

Brokers, agents, title firms, attorneys, and fund managers can take 6–10% in transaction-related fees, reducing investor returns before value is even realized.

Unclear Ownership Records

Paper deeds, manual cap tables, and fragmented registries make ownership harder to prove and easier to dispute across entities and jurisdictions.

Manual Rent Distribution Work

Distributing rental income to dozens or hundreds of investors often requires spreadsheets, wire transfers, and weeks of admin and reconciliation.

The Cost of Inaction

While you’re still evaluating options, other sponsors are already tokenizing real estate and securing the first wave of investor attention and distribution partners. With the right real estate tokenization platform, you can launch faster by digitizing ownership, tightening compliance, and automating the operational work that usually slows deals down. Some market research projects predict that the tokenization of real estate could reach $1.4T by 2026, which makes early execution a real advantage.

FAQ

Real Estate Tokenization FAQ

Everything you need to know about tokenizing real estate properties.

First, you vet the property (title, numbers, valuation). Then you put it into an SPV like an LLC, set up investor checks (KYC/AML) and the right legal route, build the token contracts, connect the investor portal and payout flow, and finally issue tokens to approved investors.

There isn’t one fixed price. The spend usually comes from legal/SPV work, compliance and onboarding, smart contracts and security audits, and platform setup. If you’re doing more than one property, costs per asset typically come down because you reuse the same core setup.

It’s simply shared ownership. Instead of one person buying the whole property, many investors buy smaller portions and receive their share of income and upside.

With REITs, you’re buying into a fund. With tokenized ownership, your holding can be tied to a specific property or SPV, with clearer ownership records, more direct reporting, and sometimes voting rights depending on the structure.

They’re regulated digital securities linked to real estate, usually through an SPV. They’re designed to follow securities rulWhat regulations apply to tokenized real estate?
In most markets, it’s treated like a security, so local securities rules apply. In the US, it’s often structured under Reg D or Reg S, with investor verification, required disclosures, and transfer restrictions.es, including who can hold them and how transfers are allowed.

In most markets, it’s treated like a security, so local securities rules apply. In the US, it’s often structured under Reg D or Reg S, with investor verification, required disclosures, and transfer restrictions.

Yes. Commercial properties are common candidates because tokenization can bring in a wider investor base and make distributions and reporting easier to run at scale.

The home or portfolio sits inside an SPV, tokens represent ownership interests, rent is collected through property management, and payouts are sent out pro rata based on holdings.

An SPV is a separate legal entity (often an LLC) that holds the property and isolates risk. Investors hold interests in that entity through tokens, which keeps ownership and reporting much cleaner.

Rent is collected the usual way through the property manager, then it flows into the SPV. On payout day, the system looks at who holds what, factors in expenses and reserves, and sends each investor their share in fiat or stablecoins. No messy spreadsheets or manual chasing.

Yes, if the offering is built to allow it. Every transfer is screened, so tokens only move to eligible investors, and real trading activity depends on the property’s demand and how engaged your investor base is.

Both are standards made for regulated assets. ERC 3643 is compliance-first, with identity checks and transfer rules designed in from the start. ERC 1400 is more flexible and is often used when you need features like multiple share classes and deeper document workflows.

 

Most launches take about 10–14 weeks. That time usually covers property review, SPV setup, smart contracts and audit, platform configuration, and then onboarding and issuance. If your legal structure and documents are already in place, you can move faster.

It comes down to how the offering is structured. Some routes are limited to accredited investors, while others can include retail investors after extra approvals. In both cases, eligibility is verified during onboarding and enforced when tokens are transferred.

Yes, when it’s structured under SEC rules. Tokenized real estate is generally treated as a security, so offerings typically use Reg D or Reg S, and sometimes Reg A+ or Reg CF, depending on the raise and investor audience.

Valuations usually blend market data with sponsor reporting, and larger deals often add third-party appraisals. Updates appear in the investor portal so holders can see how the asset is performing and how value is trending.

It can lower investment minimums, speed up settlement, automate rent payouts, and keep ownership records clean and auditable. And if your structure allows it, secondary transfers can add liquidity to an asset class that’s usually locked up for years.

Investors can hold tokens through institutional custody, a managed wallet, or self-custody, depending on what’s allowed. No matter the option, transfer rules still apply, and the property itself remains owned by the SPV under the sponsor’s governance.
