In the case of the real estate sector, the decision to digitize these processes was not only taken because it was at the forefront, it was also the result of inconsistencies with property titles.
“The only way to end corruption is to digitize the systems so that they do not manipulate the information, and it has been a commitment that in the last year we have been able to make in 180 notaries”, indicated Fernanda García, Superintendent of Notaries and Registry.
Sebastián Nogera, co-founder of Habi proptech in Colombia and promoter of the technology, was one of the actors who initially used the automation of this process.
“People need the notary to go to their house with digital deeds. It is an excellent process to transform the housing sector, which the Superintendence is betting on digitization”, explained Nogera.
The protech even has an online site on its platform. You can carry out the deed and all the parties sign right there.
“In the last year we have done around 100 digital deeds, mainly in Medellín. Our purpose with this is to make the processes simpler and safer“, said.
Currently the service has 190 digital notaries that remain in the Electronic Filing of Deeds (REL) repository to leave traceability and avoid intervention in the documents.
“These processes can reduce more than half the time to do any notarial paperwork,” said Garcia.
