REAL ESTATE AGENT REVIEWS AND RATINGS IN UGANDA.
Looking for a real estate agent can be a daunting task, especially when you're about to invest in one of the biggest purchases of your life. But what if I told you that now you can make an informed decision by checking out real estate agent reviews on the Real Estate Database (RED)? Yes, that's right!
RED has recently introduced a feature that allows property hunters to review their agents. You can click on the stars on each agent's profile and leave remarks about your experience in a free-form review box. But here's the catch: the reviews have to be based on your own genuine experiences with the agent.

Now, let's talk about the advantages of leaving a review. First, it helps other potential clients make an informed decision when choosing an agent. Second, it helps RED to identify the most valuable players (MVPs) and impro

AGENTS ABANDONING THE PRACTICE OF TOPPING PROPERTY PRICES WITH COMMISSION. Several years ago, when I first ventured into the Ugandan real estate market, a common practice among real estate agents was to top-up property prices with their commission. This practice resulted in each agent having their own price for the same property. Back then, it seemed like a normal part of doing business, as landlords were often unwilling to pay commissions on their quoted prices.
Agents resorted to topping-up property prices in order to secure their commissions, and the more they added, the more they earned. However, this practice had its downsides, including the hardening of landlords' hearts, locally known as "Okuzimba Omutima." As a proponent of capitalism and a believer in free market economics, I initially saw no issue with agents topping up prices. Buyers willingly paid the quoted price, and yet they had plenty of options to choose from. Moreover, topping-up property prices was not illegal.

HOW TO WRITE PROPERTY LISTING DESCRIPTIONS THAT SALE.
The Real Estate Database (RED) has been facing a challenge with poorly written property descriptions by agents. Most descriptions lacked depth and would only list the property specifications without any context. To address this issue, a new feature that automatically generates descriptions has been introduced on the RED platform. This feature enables agents to create comprehensive and enticing descriptions effortlessly.
To use this new feature, agents need to enter a basic description of the property along with all the specifications and amenities in the description box.
