The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) has partnered with real estate portals, Bayut and Property Finder, to enhance transparency, efficiency, and decision-making in Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector.

The centre signed two Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) with its partners to ensure that the end user is presented with accurate, non-conflicting purchase-related information through the combination of these websites. In addition, it will help streamline the efforts of the channel partners within the customer purchase journey. The MoU signing is also useful for enhancing sector services and elevating real estate transparency levels.
