Mr. Do Anh Tuan, Chairman of Sunshine Group, said, every revolution brings changes and new approaches. Companies in all industries, not only real estate sector, must adapt themselves to the progressive side of scientific and technological revolutions to best meet high demands of modern life. The application of utilities generated in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to real estate business will generate many huge benefits for customers, e.g. helping them monitor the progress of projects, and update and exchange information with investors. In addition, technological application in real estate business also helps investors to manage, operate and develop their products in a smarter and more transparent way. At the same time, market information transparency is enhanced as everything is available on the internet for users to check and compare. This is necessary amidst uncontrolled and insufficient information in the past time.

Applying Industry 4.0 to property business to have quick, close access to customers allows property deals to be concluded much quicker. Now, all real estate products regardless of who created them are brought to internet with visual and audio effects like vivid 3D Interactive technology. According to experts, this is a new approach for investors who take the lead in applying virtual reality to their projects to help buyers know how their apartments look on the chosen floor, how interiors, windows, balconies and open views look.

Even, according to Mr. Nick Whitten, Deputy Research Director of Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), a multinational corporation, in the age of Industry 4.0, customers can check apartments online and settle payment online via mobile apps. All they need is an internet-connected smartphone or computer. They can purchase real estate in Vietnam quickly and smoothly from anyplace in the world.
