# How It Works

Roofstock onChain offers single-family houses for sale. These are [real life properties](/learn-about-roofstock-onchain/guides/how-it-works/our-homes.md) that have been tokenized on Blockchain, with each token representing the ownership of a house. These tokens are [Home onChain Tokens.](/learn-about-roofstock-onchain/guides/how-it-works/home-onchain-tokens.md)

Homes onChain can be bought in a few clicks, with the transaction recorded on the Blockchain. 

To make things easier, Roofstock onChain makes the prep work for you: We select the homes to be sold, inspect them (and sometimes rehab them), and [tokenize them.](/learn-about-roofstock-onchain/guides/how-it-works/home-onchain-tokens.md#the-tokenization-process)

* Real blockchain ownership: The token in your wallet gives you full ownership.
* This NOT fractional ownership: You own the entire house.
* You can pay with crypto or fiat.
* Financing available - also on blockchain.
* Open to domestic and foreign buyers.

### How is this better than traditional real estate?

A Roofstock onChain home has several advantages:

* Instant ownership transfer: You can buy a house in a few clicks.
* Your house is a Web3 asset, which enables new borrowing options using Decentralized finance (DeFi).
* You save some of the traditional costs of real estate transactions.
