Real Estate Investor Magazine South Africa April 2018 - 100th Issue! | Page 11

100 TH ISSUE
We would struggle to find a name more
recognisable in the finance world than
Robert Kiyosaki. We sat down with him
for an exclusive interview, discussing his
views on the global economy and how to
prepare for it.
Of course, we wouldn't be South African
if we didn't feature at least one rugby
star in our highlights. We sat down with
John Smit to talk about his journey from
Bok-captain to investor.
THE FUTURE IS DIGITAL
The property world is constantly changing. To keep
up with the times, we are launching our brand new
website on 1 May. Whether you’re looking for the
latest property news, hot off the presses; advice
from our expert mentors and industry insiders; or
access to our brand new podcasts and webinars -
reimag.co.za is the place to be.
One of the most exciting advancements in prop-
erty is VR and AR. Imagine a world where you can
walk down the street and instantly gain access
to information on properties for sale. You could
see the price, take a virtual tour, get the agent’s
contact details, and schedule a viewing - all from
your VR goggles.
Smart homes and cities are taking the world by
storm. Whether we’re talking about smart lights
that can be controlled through an app, or a landing
pad for your drone, our homes are continually
being designed around our changing needs. The
trend for smart homes has already taken flight in
the international market, and a shifted focus on
technology in South Africa means it won’t take
long for this to be our new normal.
There are many exciting things happening in the
proptech world. We’re making big changes here at
REIM, so stay tuned and enjoy the ride with us.
