Towards a More Agile and Modern Real Estate Sector
On August 12, 2026, at 14:05, the Ministry of Deregulation and Transformation of the State announced via its official X account that Minister Federico Sturzenegger participated in the Expo Real Estate Argentina 2026. During his speech, Sturzenegger highlighted the crucial need to reduce bureaucratic costs and eliminate paper-based procedures by implementing digital systems.
This initiative seeks to modernize the Argentine real estate market, a key sector for economic development and job creation. By eliminating paper dependency and digitizing processes, operations are expected to become faster, more transparent, and significantly cheaper for citizens.
The Demand for Cutting-Edge Technology
The announcement sparked intense debate on social media, racking up over 192,500 views. While many celebrated the move toward digitalization, several users took the opportunity to demand even deeper, more disruptive measures.
In responses to the official post, there is a strong call for technologies like blockchain and smart contracts for all types of transactions. A user identified as @ngs_2410 asked: 'When will we get blockchain for all kinds of smart contracts? When are they going to scrap the laws that require signatures from accountants and lawyers for every little thing? Enough with the signature scam.'
Another user, @guillebot, questioned the need for traditional legal figures, arguing that 'this is like upgrading a carriage, we want Teslas. Enough with notaries.' In Argentina, an escribano (notary public) is legally required to formalize real estate transactions, acting as a state guarantor and escrow agent, but their fees represent a significant cost that citizens are eager to eliminate through pure technology.
A Debate Beyond Digitalization
The discussion also reflected other citizen concerns. Among the replies, a user identified as @_Un_Misil_@no_retornable mentioned an unofficial, unverified claim stating that an HR manager and UPCN union delegate at Enargas (the National Gas Regulatory Entity) would earn 33 million Argentine pesos per month, an amount that, according to the internet user, far exceeds the salary of a national senator.
Although this data is part of specific user complaints and not an official report, it reflects the public mood and the expectation that deregulation should also target the structural costs of the State. The vision of the Deregulation Ministry points precisely to this horizon: a more efficient, less expensive State with services adapted to the digital age.
