Aqarat forum focuses on brokerage standards amid market growth
Qatar’s real estate market recorded an upward trend in demand and trust indicators between 2024 and 2025, with transactions among Qatari buyers doubling year-on-year, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority’s (Aqarat) top official announced Monday.
Speaking at the ‘2nd Qatar Real Estate Brokers Forum’, Aqarat chairman Khaled bin Ahmed al-Obaidli said the performance reflected the effectiveness of existing legislation and regulatory incentives in attracting real estate investment.
The forum brought together brokers and representatives of relevant entities to address the profession’s development amid shifting market conditions. It also explored ways to address these challenges by advancing legislation and strengthening professional awareness. It also reviewed the regulations governing real estate financing and their role in organising the market and supporting its stability to ensure balance among all stakeholders.
“The real estate brokerage profession is one of the core pillars of market organisation, as it plays a key role in promoting transparency, building trust among stakeholders, and ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory frameworks, thereby safeguarding rights and supporting a stable investment environment,” he stated.
Al-Obaidli said, “In line with the authority’s responsibilities, we continue to develop the regulatory framework of the brokerage profession by updating legislation, enhancing workforce capabilities, and reinforcing compliance with professional standards, in a manner that keeps pace with changes and contributes to the sustainability of the real estate sector.”
He noted that the authority would introduce a competition to recognise the top three real estate brokers based on professional criteria, including regulatory compliance, professional practice, and contribution to transparency and investment attraction.
The initiative, al-Obaidli also explained, aims to motivate outstanding brokers and foster a culture of positive competition, ultimately improving performance quality and elevating the brokerage profession as a key pillar of sector sustainability.
The forum also featured a panel discussion between the authority and brokers, during which participants exchanged proposals to strengthening cooperation and improving service quality in the real estate sector.
Al-Obaidli pointed out that the forum serves as an institutional platform for exchanging views and discussing challenges, and producing practical outcomes that raise the quality of brokerage services and the competitiveness of the sector at both local and regional levels.
He added that forum reflects the authority’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with various stakeholders and supporting the development of the real estate sector in line with its aspirations for sustainable growth, while enhancing its competitiveness and investment appeal at both the local and regional levels.
