Case Study – Belkasa Inmobiliaria: Transforming Real Estate Management with CariBid
About Belkasa Inmobiliaria
Belkasa Inmobiliaria, led by 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 apartments, built before 2015, recognized for their spacious designs and family appeal.
These properties, located in sectors like Piantini, Evaristo Morales, and Bella Vista, have become synonymous with comfort and prime location. However, as demand for these properties skyrocketed, Belkasa faced growing operational challenges.
The Challenge
With an increasing number of rental inquiries, Belkis and her team faced difficulties keeping up. Their challenges included:
Inefficient Offer Management
Traditional methods for handling multiple offers on a single property created bottlenecks, with decisions often depending on Belkis's judgment or a tenant's credit score. This process lacked scalability and transparency.
Extended Closing Times
Rentals often took months to finalize due to manual processes and scheduling delays. This extended time risked losing interested tenants and frustrated property owners eager for income.
Limited Prospect Interaction
The "meet and greet" approach required Belkasa to schedule in-person visits with each interested party. This laborious process reduced the number of prospects they could effectively handle.
The Solution
Belkasa partnered with CariBid to revolutionize their rental process through real estate auctions. CariBid offered:
Fast 7-Day Auctions
Instead of prolonged negotiations, Belkasa adopted short, intense auctions. Properties were listed for only 7 days, creating urgency among tenants and significantly accelerating decision-making.
Automated Offer Management
CariBid's platform automatically evaluated offers based on objective criteria, eliminating bias and freeing up time for Belkis and her team.
"Open House" Flexibility
CariBid introduced virtual and in-person "Open House" functionality. This allowed multiple prospects to view properties simultaneously, increasing efficiency and exposure. The feature was particularly successful in high-demand areas like Piantini and Bella Vista.
Scalability
By automating time-consuming tasks, Belkasa could manage more properties and clients without increasing operational burden.
The Results
The partnership with CariBid produced remarkable results for Belkasa:
67% Faster Rental Closings
Rental agreements were finalized in an average of 7 days, compared to the long months they previously faced.
Increased Rentals in Premium Areas
With CariBid's tools, Belkasa achieved more rental agreements in key areas like Piantini, Bella Vista, and Evaristo Morales.
Higher Prospect Conversion
The "Open House" feature attracted more qualified tenants, increasing the likelihood of successful agreements.
Operational Efficiency
CariBid's automation tools streamlined processes, allowing Belkis to focus on growing her business instead of manually managing logistics.
"CariBid is the best thing that has happened to me! Before, we used to take weeks, sometimes months, to close a contract. Now, everything is ready in 7 days. This not only speeds up the process but also attracts more clients and eliminates delays. If you're not on CariBid, you're falling behind!"
— Belkis, Founder of Belkasa Inmobiliaria
