Saudi Arabia's real estate sector is booming, driven by Giga-projects like NEOM and ROSHN. To participate as a developer, broker, or marketer, you must be licensed by the Real Estate General Authority (REGA), ensuring transparency and trust in the market.
Role of REGA
REGA 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.
Ejar, Wafi, & Mullak: REGA operates key platforms: 'Ejar' for rental contracts, 'Wafi' for off-plan sales, and 'Mullak' for homeowners' associations.
