At Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasushi Tsurumori; hereinafter "At Home"), a real estate information service, has renewed its "Smart Contract" service, which allows real estate leasing and sales contracts to be conducted online, into a service more specialized for real estate transactions. In the new "Smart Contract," consent for electronic delivery can be obtained within the system, and a draft confirmation function allows internal and external stakeholders to check the contents in advance. In addition, a patent has been applied for regarding the contract conclusion flow specialized for real estate transactions.
## Background and Overview of Service Renewal
Compared to traditional paper contracts, "Smart Contract" has led to improved operational efficiency for real estate companies and increased satisfaction for end-users by reducing labor and mailing costs and shortening lead times. On the other hand, various laws and regulations, such as the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act, stipulate that prior consent is required for electronic delivery, but previous smart contracts could not complete the consent acquisition within the system. We have now renewed the system so that consent acquisition can be done one-stop within the system. We have also added a draft confirmation function, which has been requested by participating member stores for some time. This allows internal and external stakeholders to check the contents in advance, preventing rework.
