Meanwhile, the Pakistani market grew and in 2009, they noticed that the website’s traffic had increased dramatically. Today, they have a team of close to 500 people, offices and field presence in 30 major cities, and over 8,000 estate agencies on board. The portal also publishes a dedicated real estate magazine, hosts large-scale property expos around the country, and offers mobile apps on all major platforms.
