Invest Islands App to revolutionise Indonesian real estate for overseas investors
Whether it’s hailing a taxi, booking a vacation, renting an apartment, or even finding a new lover, technology is undoubtedly making life easier. With just a smartphone in hand, you can now complete tasks that would have been time consuming and potentially patient before.
A quick click or a swipe and suddenly you have a room or a book or a date. Of course, there are some things that cannot or should not be decided on the basis of a few filtered photos alone. When it comes to foreign investors looking to buy land or property overseas, not many people are willing to part with substantial savings without seeing their purchase from all angles. Especially if this purchase is related to an emerging market.
Enter Invest Islands. The Indonesian real estate developer has long relied on technology to improve its clients’ experience. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the award-winning company was offering everything from drone recordings of available land to video conferencing to keep customers informed about investment progress. After extensive research and developments in the area of user-friendliness, the company is now preparing to launch its own innovative smartphone app that promises a 360-degree approach to real estate.
“We planned the Invest Islands app before the pandemic,” said Jack Brown, co-founder of Invest Islands, which is headquartered in Lombok and has physical offices in Hong Kong and Perth. “With COVID making it very quickly impossible for many of our international customers to visit their properties or properties, we have taken various steps to recalibrate the nature of the products and services we offer and ultimately decided to speed up app development to improve communication and transparency and the overall customer experience. ”
The Invest Islands app is aimed at both existing and potential customers. For potential customers, there are plot lists, promotions, a financial simulator to estimate and adjust potential revenue generation, and a localized news feed. However, it is the Invite Only Client Hub that focuses on Invest Islands innovation.
When customers log in, they access a range of features that allow them to monitor their portfolio 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Regardless of whether it is their account details and legal documents, a transparent schedule in which their business is carried out through the Indonesian legal system, a direct line to their broker or the increasing resale value of their properties at any given time, customers will find everything simple and accessible one place.
If the client intends to develop a property instead of a land bank, they can also choose designs and see live updates of construction progress from the time the cornerstone was laid to the official opening of the doors. Regular photos, videos and drone content of the completed work as well as optional notifications of milestones are also provided. Even interior design has been taken into consideration when users are able to browse and select their furniture and the like with the push of a button.
Should the customer intend to enter the short-term rental market, over time the app will even offer access to various property management tools such as rental calendar, pricing options, occupancy rates and online aggregation of guest reviews.
“Our goal with the app was to create a platform that removes the physical distance between the investor and their real estate investment,” added Brown from Invest Islands’ offices in southern Lombok. “Now our customers have instant access to anything and everything related to their investment and what they would find if they visited their property here in Indonesia. As a user of the app, you are also entitled to a number of exclusive benefits, from meals for two and hotel stays to sailing trips and helicopter flights. “
The Invest Islands app will be available worldwide for iOS and Android from May.
