I just hope the ministry will take action on this agent commission thing... as it is indeed a burden.. I hope they put up like one central real estate website (as in official) where landlord and property management company can upload their properties.. that way both the landlord and the tenant will have the protection and security they need that they are really dealing with some legitimate people. The problem is that the owners are also relying on this agents to get their property rented. And this has become the trend... as only 1 in 10 or maybe 20 property posting does not ask for the commission.
I feel the commission should only be collected from the owner's rather than tenant's. As most of the expatriates comes here newly get shocked to see the half month commission. Those who are old here are used to it any people pays it even i have paid. Actually in real estate the demand is more and the provision is less. It does really matters to middle income people to give the half month commission.
what i cant understand is when a Real Estate guy shows you a house according to your requirements & you get to see lots of houses without any headache or pain of finding the Landlords or other issues in finding the house..U are obliged to pay their service charge; Ofcourse they can only show the house BY OPENING THE DOOR;;I DONT KNOW DO u EXPECT THEM TO KEEP THAT HOUSE ON YOUR HEAD & SHOW IT IN A MIRROR- SO U COULD REALIZE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKS!! is that you are expecting?? I dont know will they be able to do such magic!! you still can ask him..
i am searching family accommodation,i did not find even a signal without commission you believe that people are living same villa and they are asking for commission.
i agree it needs to be sorted out, i looked at a villa the other day for 26000 QR very nice just what i was looking for, until the guy said he wanted 13000 QR just for showing me the villa, NOT A CHANCE.
there is no way i am paying someone that sort of money for opening a door,

I strongly agree that this half month commission should be given by the landlord and not the tenant.
