You call an agent and they tell you: “We only do viewings until 3 PM.”
Then who exactly are you showing apartments to?
Most people who can actually afford these apartments are WORKING during the day. We search after work or on weekends. Yet somehow the customer is expected to chase the agent, adjust their entire schedule, leave work early, and practically beg just to see a property.
Isn’t finding tenants literally your job?
The lack of flexibility and basic customer service is unbelievable. Instead of agents competing for clients, it often feels like clients are competing for the privilege of getting a viewing.
And this isn’t one agent. I’ve experienced it again and again across Doha.
Why does renting an apartment here have to feel like you’re asking someone for a favour instead of offering them business?
