Once you accept a buyer’s offer, the deal moves into the contract flow. This page walks a seller through the five phases from signing to handover, and explains exactly when and how the commission is due.

​
The five contract phases

1

Contract prepared

The sale contract is drawn up with the agreed terms (price, scope, conditions).
2

Owner signs first

The project owner always signs first, then the buyer signs. This order is fixed.
3

Payment through the platform

The buyer pays by direct bank transfer, uploads proof of transfer, and the payment is confirmed on-platform.
4

Handover

Ownership and assets are handed over per the contract, and the deal documents are stored securely.
5

Close

The deal is marked closed and archived with its documents.
The owner signing first is deliberate — it commits the seller’s terms before the buyer countersigns, so both sides sign the same, final document.

​
Payment

All payment runs through the platform — a direct bank transfer, then proof of transfer, then confirmation. Paying on-platform protects both parties and keeps the deal record complete.
Do not settle payment or share bank details through external channels. On-platform payment is what protects the transaction and the commission.

​
Commission

Mumtalakat’s brokerage commission is set out in the brokerage agreement you sign, plus VAT, and is due on close of the deal.
  • It is calculated on the final sale value.
  • It is due when the deal closes — not at listing, and not for browsing or receiving interest.
  • Circumventing the commission by taking the deal off-platform is prohibited. See Commission protection.
