Hassan Kamel, the founder of "Sakny," has announced that his new digital platform, specializing in Egypt's residential rental market, is getting ready to launch! This exciting move aims to offer smart tech solutions for the challenges both tenants and property owners often face, especially when it comes to relying on traditional real estate brokers and unverified advertisements. Kamel explained that the idea for Sakny came from his own personal experience and direct observation of the difficulties faced by expatriate students, engineers, and families when searching for housing. These challenges include dealing with high commissions, encountering misleading or even fake ads, and unfortunately, sometimes even fraud that people looking for rental units might encounter. He mentioned in a post that "Sakny" falls under the PropTech SaaS sector. Its main focus is to provide a platform that directly connects property owners and tenants, thereby significantly reducing the need for traditional real estate brokers. He added that the platform will feature advertisements for residential units that have undergone thorough administrative and field verification by the Sakny team. It will also allow direct dealings between both parties without charging any commissions on rental transactions made through the platform – how cool is that? The founder of "Sakny" revealed that the company is preparing to launch the platform very soon and has already opened a waitlist for registrations via this link: [https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsakny-waitlist%2Eai%2Estudio&urlhash=Trh6&mt=7RhVNPiCBpEnL5HtakOl2rSwWJ46zPFLhOYIx7pqnpAHAC_1px0n6ycWJRI48rj4qhwo49jZoWjH2UVUfp-Hk-LoFP5Qd9eq2xbA6mLzYIoBpplvioGb54PlLpcI9efYOOxoichqhz8oRw4TEQR10khRi4vxvb0MZQ&isSdui=true].

What a great incentive!
