Rent on Reem Island has gone from 50k to 100k for the same basic one-bed, and somehow the agents expect everyone to just accept the narrative of 5% agent fees like it makes sense. So let’s cut the polite nonsense for a second, what value are they actually bringing right now, particularly a double the price since 2023? Not the usual defensive “don’t complain” replies, just a straight answer.

Because from what I’ve seen, the service hasn’t improved at all. The last onboarding was messy, unorganized, and borderline useless, and it looks like we’re heading into the exact same situation again. No added support, no smoother process, nothing that justifies paying them more. It feels less like a professional service and more like someone standing in the middle collecting money for doing the bare minimum.

So if they’re doing the same job they were doing in 2023, why are they effectively getting paid double now? What exactly changed other than the rent going up? And if nothing changed, why isn’t this just a fixed, transparent fee instead of a percentage that scales up for no reason?
