Blockchain,  Smart Contracts,
and Commercial  Real Estate
By Luke Feldman  & Christian Harden



For most people, 2017 was the year they heard about bitcoin and learned enough about the cryptocurrency to forget within 24 hours. We've all had that friend claiming to be a brilliant investor because they bought $50 worth of litecoin and ethereum before prices exploded in late October. We've all heard how cryptocurrency is the future of finance. While there might actually be some truth in that statement, we in commercial real estate are more intrigued by the endless possibilities of blockchain.  Blockchain is the actual basis of bitcoin technology, and it will certainly impact the way real estate professional conduct business in the future.
