Owner's guide
How selling through Damj works — from contract to payment
Five written steps with no surprises: zero cost to you, your number hidden, and every riyal of the price reaching you directly through the government channel. This guide explains each step and what to confirm before signing.
1. A documented brokerage agreement
Sign the exclusive brokerage agreement after identity and deed verification. Price, term, and every obligation are written — nothing verbal.
2. A licensed ad in your name
Damj issues the advertising licence on your behalf and lists your property with the licence number and an official verify button, professional photography, and a watermark — your number never appears.
3. Screened, scheduled viewings
Interested buyers pass a seriousness gate before any viewing, and all contact runs through Damj. You receive documented offers, not random calls.
4. The offer and the documented deposit
On agreement the buyer pays the deposit to you directly under a documented tripartite agreement that states the deposit's fate in every case — before a single riyal moves.
5. Title transfer and the full price
The sale price reaches you directly through government escrow. Brokerage is invoiced to the seller after transfer under the agreement.
The costs, in full honesty
- On you (the seller): standard 2.5% brokerage after closing under the agreement, or 2% for an eligible Premium deal, plus VAT where required.
- Before the sale: no upfront listing fee. The sale price and any deposit move between buyer and seller directly; statutory taxes and fees follow the rules in force at closing.
- On Damj to prove to you: a valid brokerage licence with an official verification link — trust ledger →
Sellers' frequent questions
What do I pay Damj to sell my property?
No listing or upfront fee. For new listings, the seller pays standard 2.5% brokerage after title transfer under the agreement, plus VAT where required.
When and how do I receive the price?
At title transfer the full price reaches you directly through the government escrow — Damj never receives any part of it. Anyone requesting a transfer in Damj's name is a fraudster.
Who receives the deposit?
The buyer pays the deposit to the seller directly under a documented tripartite agreement that fixes its amount, conditions, and fate in every case before any payment. Damj coordinates and documents — it never holds the deposit.
What if the buyer uses bank financing?
The bank disburses the financed amount to the seller through the same title-transfer process. The timeline runs longer (bank valuation and committees) and Damj coordinates between both parties and the bank. Make sure the deposit agreement states in writing what happens if financing falls through.
Why exclusivity — what do I gain?
One property, one broker, one price: a licensed ad with an official verification number, your phone never shown, buyer-seriousness screening before any viewing, and all contact through Damj. Exclusivity has a fixed term set in the brokerage agreement.
Does my number or exact location appear in the ad?
No. Your number stays hidden and all contact goes through Damj; the location shows approximately until a serious viewing stage. Your photos carry a protective watermark.
