Real Estate And Investment in Egypt

A lot of Egyptians disdain Real Estate Agents and they consider their role in Egypt Real Estate market is not worth what they are paying for, we must tell them sorry, but you are very wrong why?, Lets describe to you how important Real Estate agents for our Egyptian Real Estate Market.

Lets talk first about if you want to buy a property in Egypt or rent a property in Egypt the first thing you think about is where I want to live ,what area would be good for me and my family, should I got it in Heliopolis, New Cairo, Maadi or Downtown, it should be near my work and my kids school/collage, then you start thinking about how much you afford to pay to get this property, then you start wondering, how I find this property, all of these thoughts come to your mind.

The first thing come to your mind is the newspaper and its advertisements section, then you keep searching and calling people, this may take days, weeks even months until you find a property that suit you, some people will tell you that its better for you to go to the area you think it suit you and search for anyone that know the area ask him about any available properties there, this second rate Broker ( a doorman or a security personal) will offer you only whatever he heard of in the area around him and he tells you the price like he heard it from the property%u2019s owner, but let us ask ourselves this question, can this guy really tell you if there is another area in Egypt that may suit you better than this one?, can he tell you if what the owner is asking for is the right price for this area or not?,

Unfortunately he can%u2019t, because he is not experienced enough in this kind of thing or in Egypt Real Estate Market and still he ask for his commission as if you are dealing with an international first rate Real Estate Agency.

The third valid option for you to find a property in Egypt would be through the Internet but that would take you forever also and you wouldn%u2019t know if these prices you are seeing is the right ones or not.

Let us say that you were successful with your searching and you was able to buy a property in whatever are you thought it would be the perfect property for you and your family, did you ever thought that there might be somewhere in Egypt that will suit you far more than the one you got?!, or if there is another property might suit you also with far lower price than the on you already bought in equal or better location than the one you moved too?!,

How do you think you can get hold of such information?, this type of information will only be known to someone with a very good experience in the Real Estate in Egypt, who do you think got this kind of knowledge and experience you are seeking?!, wouldn%u2019t be someone that make living through gathering, studying, researching and organizing this information in a good way that make accessing it much easier?

This someone is no other than the Real Estate Agent ot the Real Estate Agencies in Egypt,So let us compare hiring a Real Estate Agent in Egypt with the other three options we mentioned before,

Let us say you already decided where you want your new property to be, also you decided on the budget, then you called one of Egypt Real Estate Agencies, you start telling them your request and your needs, then the agent who you are talking with starts to tell you that he got some properties that exactly match your request and he tell you that he is ready whenever you are to take you in a tour to examine these properties, he even ask you if you have a car or not because in case you don%u2019t he offers that he will pick you up from wherever you are to start the tour, then you start examining the ,match what you have in mind, you start asking a lot a lot of questions about the property and yet again you are amazed at how much know about this properties, he know everything from how old the building to what kind of neighbors you will have if you moved to this property, but the most amazing thing after you talk with the Real Estate Agent for awhile you start learning much about Egypt Real Estate market and he might even tell you if there is a better properties in Egypt in a certain area that can be better for you and for your family and he also has every little information about these areas he is telling you about, he also inform you that he can show you these areas and the properties he have there anytime you like, you realize that by meeting this agent you have opened a lot more of opportunities for yourself that you actually never thought about, you also realize how easier buying or renting a property in Egypt became thanks to this agent and his agency, also because a lot more services that the Real Estate agent and his Real Estate Agency make available to you and we will mention it later on,

Now let us talk if you are the other kind of client the one who wants to sell or rent his property in Egypt,

Of course it I a lot easier for the owner to find tenants or buyers for his property than searching for a property to live in,

But let us say you put out an advertise for your property in the newspaper or the internet and you start getting calls from people who wants your property and want to examine it, do you even know who you are these random people you inviting to your home, how can you trust them with anything especially if you are only renting your property, you don%u2019t even know what kind of people they are, what will they do with your property or what they will do in it, do you even know if they will even pay your rental fee in time or pay it at all?!, why take the risk?!!,

By calling a Real Estate Agency in Egypt you will be minimizing this risk to where its almost doesn%u2019t exist, Why?, because for a Real Estate Agent his clients are so valuable that he won%u2019t do anything that can even upset you, his job is to know about the tenants or the buyers enough that will guarantee your property%u2019s safety, and he consider this as one of his responsibilities, so you do not need to worry about any of the risks we mentioned above,

The best thing about Real Estate Agents or Real Estate Agency in your Egypt or anywhere else is how much easier he make finishing the deal and signing the contract, he know all about the juristic details that are required to write a valid contract, then he show both the owner and the buyer/tenant and if any of them need to change anything in the contract, he has the ability to do so, even when the buyer/tenant wants to change anything in the property before he sign the contract he can get everything done and in a good way, because he got a lot of good business relationships that help him and as a result help you to get things done, also he got good connections in the registration department %u201CAl Shar Al Aqari%u201D that get things done faster and a lot more as we said before,

Everything became easier because this is his job and responsibility to make your life easier when it comes to rent, sell or buy a property in Egypt,

Bottom line is when you are hiring a Real Estate Agent you are not paying him for he have done until you got your deal done, but your are paying for his knowledge and experience in Egypt Real Estate Market, its exactly the same thing when you hire an attorney you are paying for his experience and what he has accomplished before and not for what he have done for you,
