Musa Al-Rashidi in partnership with Eng. Yousif Al-Rashidi. The idea was launched to solve the hassle of exhausting field searches for real estate, offering an electronic platform that connects house hunters with brokers and property owners in one place through an interactive map displaying available listings linked directly with the Real Estate General Authority (REGA). The company is licensed under Commercial Registration No.: 1010439681, with its headquarters located in Qurtubah District, Riyadh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\n<\/div>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">Aqar App in Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Since its launch in 2014, the app achieved widespread reach to become the leading and most used digital real estate platform in Saudi Arabia. App downloads have exceeded 12 million, with hundreds of millions of search operations conducted monthly. At Aqar, we are delighted to serve over 3 million active users representing diverse society segments including property seekers, brokers, and real estate developers.

We believe true innovation stems from the field and the team&#8217;s base rather than being exclusive to top management, enabling all members across various specialties to share their ideas freely, eliminating bureaucracy and accelerating execution to meet market needs. To ensure delivering the highest standards of quality, we adopt an agile product lifecycle driven by innovation and rapid experimentation; we do not launch any new feature until it is thoroughly tested and verified to offer genuine value aligned with our platform&#8217;s philosophy and user expectations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_fa17942caf5568a8\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"0\">The &#8220;District Broker&#8221; Service as a Practical Model for Product Lifecycle in Aqar<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">The &#8220;District Broker&#8221; service embodies our philosophy of transforming challenges into innovative solutions. The idea started with the goal of empowering real estate brokers to market their professional services without linking them to a specific property, presenting a challenge to our interactive map-based model. Instead of rushing the launch, we gave the concept a full year of testing and development across several beta versions until reaching the ideal model serving users seamlessly. Once settled on the suitable technical and design combination, we transitioned immediately to execution, taking only one month for software development and official service launch.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"4\">How Do We Handle Violations in Aqar App?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_dfb09e8d7ba9fb92\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">We place transaction security and listing credibility at the top of our priorities, having developed an integrated protection and response ecosystem combining approved regulations and advanced tech solutions to ensure a secure environment for all users:<\/div>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"2\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Safe Environment with Strict Regulations:<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Recent governmental regulations, such as the Real Estate Brokerage Law\u2014which we strictly enforce within the app\u2014have closed loopholes previously exploited by scammers, significantly reducing violations and making the platform safer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Strict Handling of Misleading Ads:<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Our challenge today lies less in direct financial fraud and more in confronting non-compliant or misleading listings (such as keeping a sold property listed to lure searchers to other properties).

The most prominent methods we observed include:<\/div>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"2\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Luring with Unrealistically Low Prices: Offering units at illogical bargain prices compared to prevailing market rates to trap potential victims.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Creating a False Sense of Urgency: Claiming high demand for the property and demanding quick financial &#8220;deposits&#8221; to hold the unit before in-person viewing.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Exploiting Smart Locks on New Units: Utilizing smart locks and virtual codes of new units to deceive victims into believing the scammer can grant entry for viewing and prove false ownership.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Manipulating and Forging Contracts: Deceiving clients with fake contract drafts on the &#8220;Ejar&#8221; platform or issuing contracts with false information to grant fake official credibility for money transfers.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Our Tips to Avoid Falling into Scams<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">To protect yourself and your money, never transfer any funds to anyone you haven&#8217;t spoken to via phone call or met in person to inspect the property. Be extremely cautious of individuals insisting on communicating exclusively via text messages or WhatsApp while refusing phone calls, as this is a major warning red flag indicating harmful intentions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">To fully guarantee your legal and financial rights, we strongly emphasize completing all financial transactions and documenting contracts through official governmental channels, primarily the &#8220;Ejar&#8221; platform, while ensuring your dealings are limited strictly to licensed and verified real estate brokers holding necessary permits from the Real Estate General Authority.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_439615f26887a666\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"0\">Target Audience in Aqar App<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Aqar App was designed to be the comprehensive platform and primary destination for all real estate market players in Saudi Arabia.

Musa Al-Rashidi, and Mr. Yousif Al-Rashidi (founder of Haraj website) is a partner. Eng. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/aqar_ceo?lang=ar\">Ibrahim Al-Shaheil<\/a> serves as CEO, leading growth, operations, and technical development strategies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Is Aqar App the best real estate app in Saudi Arabia?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Aqar&#8221; App is considered the premier and most widely used digital platform for real estate supply and demand in Saudi Arabia. It leads the market due to comprehensive coverage of all Saudi cities and governorates, tight integration with approved government platforms, verified advertiser identities via Nafath, and licensed listings by REGA.<\/div>\n<h3>Is Aqar App guaranteed and reliable?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Yes, Aqar App is a reliable and guaranteed platform operating under official Saudi requirements. The app obligates all advertisers to verify their identity via National Single Sign-On (Nafath) and requires linking listings with a valid REGA permit to ensure offer credibility and user protection.<\/div>\n<h3>Is Aqar App governmental?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">No, Aqar App is an electronic platform owned by a private Saudi company, operating in full integration and harmony with government entities such as REGA, the Ministry of Housing, and the Ejar platform to enforce real estate regulations.<\/div>\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_559044ab17a3f0e9\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"0\">Does Aqar App take a percentage?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">No, Aqar App does not take any percentage from completed real estate deals (whether sales or rentals). The platform functions as a tech intermediary connecting searchers with brokers or owners, generating revenue solely from marketing packages, advertising, and add-on services.<\/div>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"2\">Does Aqar App take a commission?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">No, the app charges no commission on sales, purchases, or leases. Due property commissions are paid directly to the licensed real estate broker owning the listing according to agreement and REGA regulations.<\/div>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"4\">Does Aqar App take finder&#8217;s fee ?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">No, Aqar App takes no finder&#8217;s fee (Sa&#8217;ee) whatsoever. Sa&#8217;ee is an exclusive right for the licensed broker who listed the property and closed the deal (typically 2.5% by law). The app does not collect or receive finder&#8217;s fees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Is Aqar App free?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Yes, downloading and using Aqar App to search for properties, browse maps, and check price indicators is completely free for all users. The app offers optional paid packages such as marketing packages for brokers or &#8220;Aqar Plus&#8221; for searchers wanting advanced analytical features.<\/div>\n<h3>How much are Aqar App&#8217;s profits and how does it generate income?<\/h3>\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_cf4b9ecc3727aa0e\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">We rely on two main revenue streams. Direct ad fees make up about 80% of total income, where owners, brokers, and developers pay set fees to list and market properties. The remaining 20% to 25% comes from additional promotional features and new add-on technical services developed periodically to diversify income streams.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_cf4b9ecc3727aa0e\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"6\">Why Don&#8217;t We Take Commission ?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">One of the most important concepts we clarify is that Aqar App takes no percentage, commission, or finder&#8217;s fee (Sa&#8217;ee) from deals. Our role is strictly providing the tech platform to display properties. We recognize confusion arises when comparing us to platforms taking commissions or from fixed admin fees we previously charged upon ad closure, but we re-emphasize that we never deduct deal percentages.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"2\">Our Journey to Self-Funded Profitability<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">At Aqar, we reached profitability completely self-funded, without needing massive investment rounds. While some startups adopt &#8220;cash burn&#8221; strategies for rapid growth, we chose a healthy, deliberate approach to grow the real estate market organically, staying independent and funding expansion through operational profits.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"24\">Overview of Aqar App&#8217;s Key Services<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">The app offers an integrated service ecosystem fulfilling all real estate needs:<\/div>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"26\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Interactive Map &amp; Smart Filtering: Allows browsing thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/sa.aqar.fm\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B7%D8%A9\/%D8%B9%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA?v=24.7136,46.6753,14\">properties for sale or rent<\/a> on a live map covering Saudi cities, with precise filters for district, price, area, and property type.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Real Estate Statistics &amp; Price Index Tool: Provides live analysis of average square meter prices and deal volumes per district based on Real Estate Exchange data.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Request Property Service: Enables searchers to post exact specifications, sending instant alerts when matching listings become available.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Ejar Platform Integration: Electronically documents residential and commercial lease contracts directly with the official platform.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Daily and Monthly Bookings (Hospitality Units): Enables booking chalets, rest houses, farms, and furnished units directly via the app, licensed by the Ministry of Tourism.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Aqar Plus Service: Subscription service offering advanced features like text search within ad details, performance tracking, and direct owner contact.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">Rent Now, Pay Later Service: Flexible financing option in partnership with licensed partners allowing annual rent split into easy monthly payments.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_5fba7d2e19c7002d\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color stronger\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"0\">Our Future Strategic Plans<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">We work according to clear strategic directions aiming for sustainable growth by enhancing real value and tech solutions rather than unsustainable fast-growth tactics.<\/div>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"2\">Expanding B2B Services for Developers<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\">We prioritize deep expansion in B2B services, focusing on major real estate developers.
