“We always believed that social media is an effective tool of marketing” Said Hanan Khader, CEO and Co-founder of Aqar-Estate. “In the noisiness of fast online communication, focused and channeled communication through social media is what specialized sites like ours offer to keep the experience broader and more open.”

As the community of Aqar-Estate continues to grow day by day, so is the demand of this community to stay in touch through other social channels, something that became an increasing challenge for development teams worldwide. “Our users want to be able to relate that interaction to facebook, twitter, everything! The more interconnected it is, the better that results are. Especially in sites like ours. ” Malik Barghouthi, CTO and Co-Founder of Aqar-Estate said.

 Aqar-Estate was one of the first Real-Estate sites to integrate the social media concept into its website. The uses of social media range from the simple sharing of a property on facebook or twitter, to interaction between users. Aqar-Estate, also offers its corporate users the chance to use social media for advertising purposes.
