Sell or Rent Your Property Without Paying Commission
Traditional real estate agents typically charge between 2% and 5% of a property's sale price — or one month's rent for rental transactions. On a 500,000 USD property, that is up to 25,000 USD in agent fees alone. SMSAR was built to eliminate this cost entirely for property owners who want to list directly.
How Listing on SMSAR Works
- Create your free account. Sign up at SMSAR with your email or phone number. Verification takes under two minutes.
- Add your property details. Enter the address, size, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any relevant features. The form is designed to be completed in under ten minutes.
- Upload photos. Listings with high-quality photos receive significantly more inquiries. SMSAR supports up to 30 images per listing. See photo tips below.
- Publish and go live. Your listing is reviewed and published within 24 hours. From that point, it is visible to buyers and renters across all 22 Arab countries SMSAR serves.
- Respond directly to inquiries. Interested parties contact you directly through the platform — no agent in between, no shared leads.
Photo Upload Tips
Great photos are the single biggest factor in how many inquiries your listing receives:
- Shoot during daylight. Natural light makes rooms look larger and more welcoming.
- Declutter before photographing. Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that distracts from the space.
- Cover all key areas. Living room, kitchen, each bedroom, bathrooms, and any outdoor space. Do not skip the bathroom.
- Include the exterior. A clear shot of the building entrance and facade helps buyers orient themselves.
- Horizontal orientation. Landscape photos (wider than tall) work best on property listings.
Reach Buyers Across 22 Arab Countries
SMSAR operates across the entire Arab world — from Morocco and Algeria in the west to Oman and Yemen in the east. A single listing on SMSAR is visible to users in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and all other covered markets simultaneously.
This geographic reach is particularly valuable for:
- Properties in Gulf countries, where buyers and investors often come from elsewhere in the region
- Diaspora buyers looking to invest in their home country
- Landlords seeking to attract expatriate tenants from a wide range of nationalities
No Commission. No Hidden Fees.
SMSAR's basic listing service is completely free. There are no commissions on sale or rental transactions, no subscription fees to list a single property, and no charges per inquiry received. Optional paid features — such as boosted visibility in search results — are available but never required.
