Real estate agents and portals endorse launch of new innovative property listing tool



More than 600 real estate agents have welcomed the launch of a new property technology company introduced last month which is changing the way they lease and sell properties in the UAE.


Airlist, developed in the UAE by the team behind Masterkey, provides all registered agents the ability to manage their properties in one space, drastically reducing the time it takes to post listings across dozens of property portals.  In less than three weeks since its launch, more than 5,000 properties have been listed by users of the site, with hundreds being added each day.


The online property portals have also thrown their significant support behind the innovative new tool, endorsing Airlist’s ability to rapidly distribute listings, increase website traffic and help manage agents’ expansive portfolio of properties available for sale and lease.


Haider Ali Khan, CEO of Bayut.com, said, “The introduction of Airlist here in the UAE is a significant step forward for the real estate industry to embrace new technology and adapt to new ways of selling and leasing properties. 


“I have been impressed with the responsiveness of the platform; the fact agents can use it easily, for free and on their phones will help them considerably.  The team at Bayut.com is looking forward to further collaborations with Airlist and seeing the development of this tool as it gains traction among the real estate sector here.”

Daniel Hart, CEO of Airlist, said his main driving force in creating the new tool was to empower the thousands of agents in the UAE who are not currently using any real estate software and need a free listings tool. 


“Our initial launch forecasts for registrations have been smashed with the sheer number of agents registering and engaging this service,” he said.  “There are no fees or charges to use the service and we are committed to being free for agents to use with no bias towards any property portal in the region. 


“Our one to one meetings with the many property portals in the UAE have gone incredibly well and we are welcoming their endorsements with open arms.”


With more than 50 property portals operating in Dubai, the team from Airlist has received positive feedback and endorsements from established sites including Bayut.com, YallaList.com and CasaYou.com. 


Fady Manna, CEO of YallaList.com added, “It is telling that Airlist has received such a response from the agents in Dubai within the first month of launch – it is obviously a much needed tool and we expect to see a large proportion of our listings generated directly from the Airlist platform.  I applaud Daniel and his team for developing the concept and look forward to seeing its growing adoption both in the UAE and throughout the region.”


While the initial intention of Airlist is to provide software to agents not currently using listings software, the team has seen a positive response across all sizes of real estate agencies. 


Ahmed Ayad, CEO and Managing Director of Perfecta Casa Real Estate, one of the best performing agencies on the platform so far, said: “My agents have been excited by the introduction of Airlist because it’s reducing the time it takes to list their properties, provides accurate location and coordinates for properties as well as XML feeds to free portals in an easy way.


 They also have the ability to share listings with other agents and contact clients by SMS and emails.


“The site is easy to use, looks great and works while we’re on the go, making it perfect for our needs in Dubai.  Most importantly, it is provided with great support by a professional team who cares about your success.”


Registering for an Airlist account is a simple, straightforward process, requiring only the agent’s name and email address.  Upon approval by the Airlist team, the agent has immediate access to uploading their current listings and building their databases of contacts. 


Features such as SMS capability to contact prospective buyers, status updates on properties, and searches on other agents’ property listings are also included.  Airlist is available to access on www.airlist.com.
