Case Study: Global-Estate Link achieves secure $50M in cross-border online closings and major time savings with Propy

How to unify your cross-border transaction process and provide safe experience to HNWI

Global-Estate, led by CEO Atsuko Yube, is a Silicon Valley brokerage serving Japanese HNWI investing in U.S. real estate. Facing cross-border closing challenges—clients reluctant to share proof-of-funds via email, limited trust in e-signatures, COVID travel bans, and difficult team collaboration across time zones—Global-Estate adopted Propy’s blockchain-based online closing platform to provide a secure, private way to exchange and sign documents.

Propy delivered onboarding, training and buyer guides, enabling secure online closings, e-signing and centralized document verification. Using Propy, Global-Estate closed several commercial and residential deals in Florida and California totaling almost $50 million; buyers saved about 3 hours on paperwork (30 minutes on the platform + 15 minutes on guides), agents saved an average 4.5 hours per closing, and the transaction coordinator no longer needed to download and re-upload executed documents.
