Commission Protection
Why the brokerage commission exists, when it is due, what counts as circumventing it, and the current brokerage agreement every project owner must accept.
- The commission pays for the brokerage service, and falls on the project owner alone.
- It becomes due when the final contract is signed and the owner receives the payment or part of it.
- Closing a deal off the platform with a buyer Mumtalakat introduced does not cancel the commission.
- Accept the current brokerage agreement before 13 November 2026 so your listing keeps running.
The commission on Mumtalakat is not a fee for being listed; it is payment for the brokerage service: we introduce the project owner to buyers, provide the tools to negotiate, sign and pay, and keep a record of every step. It is only due when a deal happens.
The basics
Section titled “The basics”| Details | |
|---|---|
| Who pays? | The project owner alone |
| How much? | A percentage of the total deal value set by the brokerage agreement, plus VAT |
| When is it due? | When the final deal contract is signed and the owner has received the deal amount or part of it. With instalments, in proportion to what is actually collected |
| How is it paid? | In a ضامن deal it is deducted from the owner’s share at release. With a direct transfer, from the commissions page against a tax invoice |
Why does contact stay on the platform?
Section titled “Why does contact stay on the platform?”Conversations, offers and meetings all happen inside Mumtalakat, and phone numbers, emails and social handles are blocked automatically, even numbers written out in words. This isn’t red tape: what happens on the platform stays on record for any dispute, and protects both sides.
What counts as circumvention?
Section titled “What counts as circumvention?”This includes:
- Closing the deal off the platform with a buyer you met on it.
- Closing it with someone linked to that buyer or acting for them, such as relatives or an entity they own or control.
- Deliberately delaying the deal until the period runs out.
If you close a deal with a buyer we introduced, tell us about it from the commissions page («Report a deal you closed»): pick the buyer and enter the value and what you received, and the commission is shown before you send.
The current brokerage agreement
Section titled “The current brokerage agreement”The project owner accepts the brokerage agreement in the app: they read the full text, then agree, and a PDF is produced from that same text.
If you signed an earlier version
A window asks you to accept the current version. Your earlier agreement stays in force until you do.

Accept it before 13 November 2026
Accepting is mandatory to keep your listing live. After that date, a live listing pauses until its owner accepts; a deal already under way is not affected.

What this means for you
Section titled “What this means for you”| Project owner | Everything that happens on the platform protects your rights. Taking the deal off the platform doesn’t cancel the commission; it only loses your record. |
| Buyer | The commission isn’t yours to pay. Contact on the platform protects you too, and in ضامن deals keeps your money held until you receive what you bought. |
