Qatar's real estate sector is booming, driven by major projects like Lusail City and The Pearl-Qatar. To participate as a developer, broker, or marketer, you must be licensed by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (AQRA) and the Ministry of Justice, ensuring transparency and trust in the market.
Role of AQRA
AQRA is the central regulator for the real estate industry, overseeing property registration, brokerage, and development. It aims to organize the sector, protect consumer rights, and boost investment confidence.
Leases & Off-plan: AQRA operates key platforms for lease contract registration and off-plan sales regulation to ensure market stability.
