To promote the growth of the nation’s proptech industry in line with the national strategic vision 2030, Property Finder organized the “first-ever PF Agent Ignite,” an open-industry summit that brought together over 650 real estate sector experts nationwide for collaboration and discussion.
Along with other officials and government representatives, the CEO of Fam Properties, Firas Al Msaddi; Khaled Al Saeh, Country Manager for Qatar & Bahrain at Property Finder; and Eng. Khalid bin Ahmad Al Obaidli, President of Qatar’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat), participated in the summit.
Speaking at the event, Eng. Al Obaidli stated that Qatar is dedicated to strengthening all companies in the technology and real estate sectors, making sure that all regulations are followed, and taking the required actions.
“By providing accurate and up-to-date data for the real estate sector, the platform empowers users with a list of reliable information to make informed decisions while helping brokers and agents with effective tools to perform their responsibilities,” he said. Aqarat President also highlighted that in the first quarter of 2025, the real estate sector contributed 7.4 percent to the national GDP with an annual average of $13.44bn while Qatar’s real estate market has expanded by nearly 20 percent since 2022. He further added that “This momentum has now been accelerated in 2025.”
Al Msaddi delivered the keynote address, offering an insightful perspective on the region’s growth potential. “There’s clearly strong engagement and a remarkable appetite for progress in Doha”, he said.
“The journey toward becoming a mature, high-performing real estate market is a universal one, and seeing where Doha is headed is genuinely exciting”.
“Why is it an amazing time to be a real estate agent?” was the title of a high-level panel discussion at the event, where leaders in the field addressed important topics like earning potential, issues with transparency and trust, the role of agents as market ambassadors, and the value of teamwork in fostering growth.
The panelists also discussed the prospects brought forth by Qatar’s economic diversification, changing consumer expectations, and upcoming regulatory developments.
Delegates had the chance to form alliances and exchange tactics to meet the demands of a more complex real estate market during the networking session that followed the forum.
