The biggest names in real estate in Saudi Arabia came together under one roof for an assembly hosted by leading property platform Lamudi, a company of the Middle East Internet Holding (MEIH).

More than 15 key figures from the property sector attended the event in Jeddah recently, including some of the most high-profile property players in the Kingdom.

Representatives from Ahmad Al-Obeikan Company for Investment and Real Estate Development, Al-Faqeeh, Century 21 Jeddah and Tawasul Properties were among those present.

The event was a chance for the leaders to network and share ideas on the local real estate market. Khalid Alali, country manager of Lamudi Saudi Arabia, gave a presentation to guests on the company’s local operations.

Lamudi’s Global Co-Founder and MD Kian Moini said: “The event was a resounding success. The fact that we had such an overwhelming response just goes to show the strength of the local property industry, which is one of the main reasons we launched here this year.

Saudi Arabia has one of the strongest and fastest growing e-Commerce sectors in the Middle East. All guests agreed that the future of real estate in the Kingdom will be online.

Sood Mohamad Alamri of Platinum Real Estate Company, said: "Lamudi entered the Saudi market after achievements in several foreign markets and it has established itself as a leader in a very short period of time.”

Country Manager for Lamudi Saudi Arabia Khalid Alali said: “One of the key enablers to our early success is a focus on localizing our operations. As a Saudi national I prioritize hiring Saudi women and men.”

The biggest real estate brands in the Kingdom have already chosen Lamudi as their property partner, including Bussma, Edarah, Salman Ben Saedan, Al Obaikan, Al Argan and Century 21 Jeddah, the company stated.
