Purchasing/Selling/Leasing in Qatar:

You intend to purchase, sell, or lease a property in Qatar, what should you do?
You can chose from one of the following methods:

Asking friends or acquaintances:

Generally not effective and its efficiency is limited to small deals. This type of process could jeopardize the interest of either the buyer/seller with respect to each other as it lacks consultation with either professional mediator/broker and/or advice in respect to the property market value and its appraised value. Optimum market value will not be accomplished due to the limitation in the listing and market exposure. The advantage of this method is realized only if you are an experienced buyer.

Using local newspapers and other similar advertising media:

Exposure and coverage is acceptable, however, it lacks the professional advice and the marketing and selling technique. It lacks the selling force and drive. Typical newspaper advertisements do not give detailed information about advertised properties such as exact geographic location, breakdown areas, general description, property conditions, price range, pictures, zoning and planning information, and other critical information that a potential buyer needs.

Call a professionally licensed Real Estate Office:

The most efficient method, however, real estate companies in Doha have a long way to go before they reach an acceptable and international level of practice. Most of the companies and brokers operate in the same manner and style as they have been doing for the last 20 years ago. Real estate companies have not made any major improvements in their professionalism; and local government has not taken any noticeable action, nor introduced any new regulations.
