WHAT DOES THE HOLY QURAN SAY ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, AGENTS, REALTORS, AND BROKERS?
Real estate is a critical aspect of human society, providing shelter, security, and a place to conduct business. As such, it is natural to wonder what guidance religious texts offer on this essential part of life.

While the Quran does not specifically address real estate in the modern sense, it does offer valuable principles that can be applied to real estate transactions and ownership.

IT'S TIME TO EMBRACE EXCLUSIVE LISTINGS OVER OPÈN LISTINGS.
During an online interaction with Shirley Kongai, the President of AREA Uganda, on LinkedIn, she responded to one of my newsletter articles by posting a comment with the exact same title as this blog. Her post therefore inspired me to write on the topic. I "liked" and "commented" on her post, even though her stance contrasts with my "open market capitalistic ideology." Here's why.
Given the current chaos in our local real estate market added to the fact that too many agents are selling the same properties, it's clear that exclusive listings could help solve many of the duplication issues on the Real Estate Database (RED) and other platfoms, which often lead to inconsistencies.
While the traditional model of open listings may offer flexibility, exclusive listings have several advantages that can lead to better outcomes. However, it's also essential to acknowledge the potential downsides. Let's explore why property owners in Uganda should consider embracing exclusi

EXPLORING THE TRUE COSTS OF A BAD TENANT
Renting out a property can be a lucrative investment, providing a steady stream of income and helping to cover mortgage payments and other expenses. However, not all tenants are created equal, and the unfortunate reality is that bad tenants can end up costing landlords more than they bargained for. From missed rent payments to property damage and legal hassles, the costs of a bad tenant can be significant. In this blog, we'll delve into the various ways in which a bad tenant can impact a landlord's bottom line.
Missed Rent Payments
One of the most direct and immediate ways a bad tenant can affect a landlord's finances is through missed rent payments.
