What do brokers in Egypt usually charge?

​

Whether of not you use our services, we believe everyone deserves to know the standard broker fee.

​

• If you're renting for less than one year, brokers typically charge half a month's rent as their fee

• If you're renting for a year or more, the standard fee is one month's rent

​

If you're thinking "doesn't this mean that the broker will always be incentivized to keep the rent high" - you're absolutely right! We avoid this conflict of interest by giving our price ahead of time.

​

As an example, a 3 bedroom in a decent area usually starts at $1000 per month, so the broker would take $500 or $1000 depending on how long your contract is; whereas with us you'd pay less.

​

But Be Prepared...

Egypt has a strong culture of bargaining, especially when prices aren't fixed. It's common for brokers to quote higher fees expecting you to negotiate - just like at markets, with taxis, and in many everyday transactions.

​

You should also be aware that:

• Brokers are not responsible for cleaning the property or checking that utilities are working. If you want anything done before moving in, you'll have to request it explicitly

• Rental contracts are issued in Arabic. It is wise to have a trusted friend or translator review it to avoid any confusing or unfair clauses.

​

By choosing us, you'll skip the common pitfalls, and get honest support from someone who understands both your expectations and the local reality.
