My Favourite Real Estate Agent in Cairo, Egypt

First of all make sure to read my analysis of the Cairo real estate investment market.

How to find real estate in Cairo, Egypt

The whole real estate market in Cairo is very fragmented. There are random independent agents, and a few professional agencies, and some online portals

Online, you will mostly find new buildings, but even coming across lists of all projects is challenging.

What this means is that finding the right property takes a lot of time IF you want to conduct proper research.

The risks of buying real estate in Cairo as a foreigner

There are a few risks:

• Overpaying because you are a foreigner or an Egyptian from overseas.
• Not getting fair representation during the purchase agreement, which is why having legal representation is key.
• Handling of the money; Egypt is a country with strict foreign exchange controls. You want to make sure you get your money in the proper way, and that you follow the proper procedures to get money out.
