The Settlement Agent’s Guide to Perth's Top Real Estate Technologies

The real estate industry in Perth is evolving rapidly, and technology is leading the charge.

From streamlined settlement processes to smarter property searches, buyers, sellers, and agents alike are benefiting from tools that make transactions faster, safer, and more transparent. As settlement agents, we see first-hand how these innovations are reshaping the property journey.

Here’s a guide to the technologies making the biggest impact in Perth’s real estate market today.

PEXA (Property Exchange Australia)

PEXA has transformed the settlement process, taking it from a paperwork-heavy ordeal to a secure digital transaction. With electronic conveyancing now standard in WA, buyers and sellers enjoy faster settlements, reduced errors, and real-time visibility of funds transfer. For settlement agents, PEXA provides efficiency and peace of mind, ensuring a smoother process for all parties involved.

Digital ID Verification

Gone are the days of endless forms and in-person checks. Digital ID verification tools allow clients to verify their identity securely from their smartphone. This speeds up compliance, reduces fraud risk, and makes the settlement process more convenient for clients.

Virtual Inspections and 3D Tours

PropTech tools such as Matterport allow buyers to “walk through” properties online before visiting in person. For interstate and overseas buyers, this is a game-changer, making Perth property more accessible to a wider audience. Settlement agents benefit too, as buyers who feel more confident about their purchase tend to move through the process with fewer last-minute hiccups.

AI-Powered Market Insights

Agents and buyers now have access to powerful AI-driven tools that analyse market trends, property values, and buyer demand. Platforms like Domain, REIWA, and CoreLogic are making it easier to understand where the market is headed, helping clients make informed decisions. For settlement agents, these insights help frame conversations around timing, growth, and potential risks.

For buyers and sellers, these innovations mean more convenience, transparency, and confidence in what can often be a stressful process. For industry professionals, including settlement agents, technology helps eliminate bottlenecks, reduce errors, and improve client service.
