The way we buy, sell, and own real estate is about to be completely transformed.

In this episode of Real Talk Hilton Head, David Cross sits down with:

• Tom Truong – Global Icon with eXp Realty & Co-Founder of Trusted Smart Chain
• Billy Beach – U.S. Air Force Veteran, Investor & Co-Founder of Trusted Smart Chain

Together, they break down how crypto, blockchain, and tokenization will disrupt everything we know about real estate transactions, ownership, and investing.

✅ What tokenization really means for homeowners & investors
✅ How smart contracts will eliminate delays & intermediaries
✅ Why blockchain = speed, security, and transparency in real estate
✅ How T7X and Trusted Smart Chain are building the rails for the future

⚠️ If your Realtor isn’t talking about blockchain, they’re already behind. This is the future — and only those who understand it will thrive.
