Most GCC real estate teams run on a patchwork — a CRM built for another market, a listings portal, spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and a separate compliance tracker. Here's how Property Aster compares with each way of working.
Choose the way your team works today to see what changes — capability by capability.
Leads live in chats, listings in folders and deals in someone's head. It's free — until a lead goes cold or a permit lapses.
Every lead, listing and deal in one shared record, with reminders and audit trails instead of memory.
Typical coverage of each setup. Your exact tools may differ — we're happy to compare against yours on a demo.

Tick everything your team uses right now. We'll show what it collapses into.
4 tools, 4 logins and 4 copies of your client data — replaced by one platform covering 7 verticals across 6 GCC markets.
We map your current tools, markets and team structure — 30 minutes, no slides.
Contacts, listings, leases and deal history are imported for you from spreadsheets, CRMs and portals.
Role-based training through Aster LMS, in Arabic or English, while your old tools keep running.
Switch market by market or all at once. A dedicated success manager stays with you after launch.
No. Property Aster syndicates your listings to the portals you already use and brings their enquiries back into one inbox. You keep the exposure and gain everything that happens after the lead.
Yes. Most teams start with listings and CRM, then switch on leasing, management or holiday homes when they're ready. Your data is already in place, so each new vertical is a toggle rather than a migration.
A global CRM handles contacts well but needs custom work for GCC permits, Ejari / Ejar, REGA rules and Arabic workflows. Property Aster ships with those built in, and replaces the other tools that sit around your CRM.
It depends on how much data you have and how many markets you operate in. Our team handles the import for you and you can keep your existing tools running in parallel until you're confident to switch.
Yes. All GCC user data is stored on infrastructure inside the region — primarily in the UAE, with secondary replication in Saudi Arabia.
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. Book a demo if you'd like us to walk you through it first.
