Propy, a decentralized and blockchain-based real-estate platform, has revealed that its system has successfully contributed to the buying of a new home in California, that is, without the involvement of a middleman, which in this case are banks.

The transaction was supposedly done through the use of bitcoin [BTC], which eliminates the need for banks altogether. Since the entire process can be done online, this also eliminates hindrances on a location basis.

CCN reported the news and shared how the deal went about. It appears that three individuals were involved, which include, California-based real-estate agent, Kate Fomina, Luke Carriere, the buyer, and Diana Dominguez, the seller. At the time of the agreement, Fomina was supposedly in Hong Kong, with Carriere and Dominguez situated in New York and Northern California respectively.
