Today, I would like to write about Pakistan's top property portals. Pakistan has a vibrant real estate market. Some people think that there are too many scammers in the real estate market. However, they need to keep in mind that scammers are going to be in just about any profitable industry of the world, and this is not just limited to real estate sector of Pakistan. You'll even find scammers in places like China and the UAE, which are otherwise world's top business destinations.

Actually, it is to keep you safe from scammers in the market that we keep highlighting the top portals and projects from time to time. This guide also seeks to achieve that purpose.

Here are the top property portals of Pakistan. However, keep in mind that you still need to use your better sense and judgment to filter through the ads and inspect different options thoroughly.

Never rush into any major decision in life, and real estate is no different! You'll always be safe.

Without any further delay, let's start exploring different options:

Olx

Olx is Pakistan's top classifieds website. It connects buyers and sellers directly, though agents too often advertise their listings on Olx.

Olx also released featured sections to its site, and anyone looking to urgently dispose of their assets can consider availing that feature.

Olx has a very light ap and makes finding your next property a breeze.

Zameen

Where Olx is an online marketplace for all kinds of products and services that you can think of, Zameen is an exclusive, real-estate only listings service. It is Pakistan's top property portal and the growth has been phenomenal.

We have personally interacted with some of Zameen.com's staff, especially from their marketing team, and we have found them to be very polished.

Mr. Haseeb was overseeing Bahria Phase 7-8 chapter, and as per my understanding, has now been tasked more serious responsibilities in the company. 

We wish professional companies like Zameen success. They are contributing positively to economy, making jobs, and doing exceptional work through the use of cutting-edge technology. Keep up the great work.

Other Portals

There are many other portals like Homes Pakistan, RightProperty and Prop (Lamudi changed to Prop). But these are not the go-to destinations of people looking to buy and sell property. Again, when dealing with anyone, always be careful. Try to get referrals about consultants from the people you know. Always check different options and never rush into any deal in your life!

Bahria Town is known to house iconic miniatures of popular monuments and landmarks from across the world. I mean, we have the Eiffel Tower, and then some Egyptian sculptures. And now, a new concept is coming to Bahria Town.

No, before you even start getting excited, this is not a project of Bahria Town. In fact, a real estate consultant was thinking of constructing a replica of the Shard London.

The project still in its planning phase, is still a secret and hasn't been finalized yet, so I will post updates if you have any questions for this.

But the general locality is going to be in the vicinity of the Dominium Mall.

The Shard is the tallest building in the UK. This is a developing story and I will be posting relevant updates on it from time to time.

Today, I have the distinct pleasure of covering the iconic Gulberg Greens. A project of Gulberg, the town boasts vast stretch of roads, iconic buildings, and a modern lifestyle.

The wide roads promise quick, unhindered access to your doorstep. Vigilant security squad conducts round the clock surveillance of the premises.

Gulberg offers quick unhindered access to both Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The Islamabad Expressway has only recently been expanded from Karal to Gulberg and the Gulberg roundabout was also completed in the same time frame.

What's more, the roundabout is also lined with leading food outlets and some old buildings like Honda Avenue and filling station.

The Telenor HQ is a prominent landscape of the area.

Investment Opportunities in Gulberg

There are a number of investment opportunities in Gulberg:

A completed project alongside a sister project under construction.

An ongoing project in a line of many.

That's all for now. I'm leaving residential projects of Gulberg for another day.

The use of drones for marketing real estate is a fantastic idea. I've always advocated its use, and I'm so glad that my good friend and realtor Umair Khan has implemented it in this video.

The editing effects are an added plus that don't take too much time.

Thumbs up for the great effort and hope to see even more innovative ideas from young real estate professionals of Pakistan.
