Transforming Real Estate Management with Caribid’s Auction Platform
Belkasa Inmobiliaria, led by the visionary Belkis, has been a trusted name in Santo Domingo’s real estate market for over two decades. The company specializes in managing and renting classic, pre-2015 apartments known for their spacious layouts and family-friendly appeal. These sought-after properties, located in neighborhoods like Piantini, Evaristo Morales, and Bella Vista, have become synonymous with comfort and prime location.
However, as demand for these properties skyrocketed, Belkasa faced mounting operational challenges. From managing dozens of competing offers to lengthy rental closing times, the company needed a smarter, faster, and more transparent solution. That’s when Belkasa turned to Caribid’s auction platform.
With an ever-growing number of rental inquiries, Belkis and her team struggled to keep up. Their challenges included:
Traditional methods of managing multiple offers on a single property created bottlenecks, with decisions often relying on Belkis’ judgment or a tenant’s credit score. This process lacked scalability and transparency.
Rentals often took months to finalize due to manual processes and scheduling delays. This extended timeframe risked losing interested tenants and frustrated landlords eager for income.
The “meet-and-greet” approach required Belkasa to schedule in-person visits with every interested party. This labor-intensive process reduced the number of leads they could effectively manage.
Belkasa partnered with Caribid to revolutionize its rental process through real estate auctions. Caribid offered:
Instead of drawn-out negotiations, Belkasa transitioned to short, high-intensity auctions. Properties were listed for just 7 days, creating urgency among renters and significantly speeding up decision-making.
Caribid’s platform automatically evaluated offers based on objective criteria, eliminating bias and freeing up time for Belkis and her team.
Caribid introduced a virtual and in-person “Open House” feature. This allowed multiple leads to view properties simultaneously, increasing efficiency and exposure. The feature proved particularly successful in boosting rentals in high-demand areas like Piantini and Bella Vista.
By automating time-consuming tasks, Belkasa was able to handle more properties and clients without increasing operational strain.
Partnering with Caribid produced remarkable outcomes for Belkasa:
Average rental agreements were finalized within 7 days, compared to the months-long timeline they previously faced.
With Caribid’s tools, Belkasa secured more rental agreements in key areas like Piantini, Bella Vista, and Evaristo Morales.
The “Open House” feature brought in more qualified renters, increasing the likelihood of successful agreements.
Caribid’s automation tools streamlined processes, allowing Belkis to focus on growing her business instead of micromanaging logistics.
