Codeeo handles property marketplace website development in Jeddah for platforms that bring owners, brokers and property service providers into one paid market. Sellers pay to list apartments, villas, coastal chalets and shops; brokers buy enquiry credit; photographers and accredited valuers sell their services through the same checkout and receive payouts after each job. We build the onboarding, listings, payments, commission ledger and dispute handling, Arabic first with full English pages for the city's large expatriate audience.
Jeddah buyers range from families moving north along the coast to investors watching the large new projects in the city. The marketplace has to serve both, and every riyal it collects has to be traceable to a listing, a lead or a completed service, with an invoice your accountant and ZATCA will both accept.

Inside the marketplace
A Jeddah property marketplace usually has more than one paying customer. An owner in Al Rawdah pays to advertise a flat, a brokerage in Al Hamra buys leads by the month, and an investor buying near the Corniche pays a valuer before making an offer. Each of those payments follows a different rule for refunds, commission and invoicing. The modules below are the ones we combine for Jeddah platforms. We usually start with owner and broker listings plus one service category, then add more providers once the listing side has enough traffic to make their work worth selling. The order matters: buyers arrive for good listings, and service providers only stay if the buyers are there. We also plan for the busy seasons, when demand for furnished homes and coastal property rises, so promoted placements can be priced higher when they are worth more and the servers cope with the extra traffic.
Private owners in Jeddah list their own property after signing in with Nafath and entering the deed number and their REGA advertising licence. The form walks them through photos, price and description in Arabic or English, then takes a single listing fee before the advert goes to moderation.
Owner supply arrives already verified and already paid.
A short checkout for listing fees and renewals in mada, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard and STC Bank where your gateway supports it. Receipts and e-invoices go to the payer by email and SMS, and a failed payment leaves the draft listing saved so the owner can try again.
Fewer abandoned listings at the payment step.
Owners and buyers order professional photography, floor plans, inspections or a valuation from a provider accredited by Taqeem, the Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers. Larger orders can be split with Tabby or Tamara where the provider supports the category, and each order books a provider slot.
A second revenue line beside listing fees.
Photographers, valuers and inspectors apply with their commercial registration, professional accreditation and bank details. Once a job is marked complete and the customer confirms, the platform deducts its commission and schedules the provider's payout, with a statement for each period.
Providers trust the platform because they are paid on a clear schedule.
Brokerages buy prepaid credit and each genuine buyer call, WhatsApp message or viewing request draws it down. Duplicate or spam enquiries are filtered before they are charged, and brokers can dispute a lead within a set window from their dashboard.
Brokers pay for results they can see.
Filters that matter in Jeddah: sea view, distance to the Corniche, Obhur waterfront, north or south of the city, compound or standalone villa, and family or bachelor building rules. Results load on a map so buyers moving from another city can understand the geography.
Buyers new to Jeddah find the right area quickly.
Shops, showrooms and offices along main commercial roads such as Tahlia and King Abdulaziz Road get their own templates with frontage, floor area, parking and permitted activity, and their own fee table, because commercial sellers expect a different price from a family selling a flat.
Commercial stock is priced and presented on its own terms.
Every page, form, email and invoice exists in both languages, with right to left layouts for Arabic and properly translated district and building names in English. Expatriate residents searching in English and Saudi families searching in Arabic land on pages written for them.
Neither audience feels like an afterthought.
When a valuation arrives late or a photographer misses a shoot, the customer opens a case with evidence. Your team can refund in full or part, hold the provider's payout and log the outcome, so every refund matches a ledger entry and an adjusted e-invoice.
Problems get resolved without breaking the books.
One view of listing fees, credit sales, service orders, commission earned and payouts owed, with VAT calculated per line and Fatoora e-invoices issued automatically. Monthly exports go straight to your accountant or ERP.
The marketplace's money is visible at any moment.
Who this suits
Jeddah has a different mix of sellers from the capital: more private owners, more coastal and holiday property, more expatriate tenants and buyers, and a commercial market spread along long main roads. A marketplace that charges well here looks for revenue on both sides and in the services around a sale. These are the starting points we see most often, and each needs a different first release, a different price table and a different person on your side signing off the rules.
Many Jeddah owners want to sell or let without signing an exclusive deal with a broker. A platform that verifies them through Nafath, checks their advertising licence and charges a fair listing fee can build a large supply quickly. We design the owner flow so that a first time seller finishes in one sitting, with help text in both languages and a moderation queue that catches mistakes before buyers see them. Renewal reminders and a simple price edit keep listings current, so buyers stop finding properties that sold weeks ago.
Private supply, verified at the door.
A Jeddah brokerage with strong search traffic can open its platform to smaller agencies who pay for enquiries. We add partner accounts, enquiry credit, lead disputes and partner statements, while your own listings keep their place and your brand stays on every page. The platform tracks which partner converted each lead, so you can price credit packs on evidence and drop partners whose response times hurt your reputation.
Some founders do not sell property at all. They sell the work around it: photography, valuations, inspections, snagging and moving. We build provider onboarding with accreditation checks, booking slots, checkout with instalment options, commission and payouts, so the platform earns from every job while the providers keep their own customers happy. Reviews after each job tell new customers which valuers and photographers deliver on time.
Developers building villas and apartments in north Jeddah want a sales platform that brokers can join and sell from. We give them project pages, unit availability, broker registration, reservation requests that pass to the developer's Wafi escrow process for off plan stock, and broker commission tracking per unit sold, so the sales director sees which brokers move stock and which only collect brochures.
Your inventory, many sellers, one set of rules.
Working together from Jeddah
Property listing marketplace platform development in Jeddah usually involves owners, brokers, providers and a finance team, and all of them need a say before the rules are fixed. We run discovery, design reviews and sprint demos with Jeddah clients by video call, with shared prototypes and recordings so nobody misses a decision. If your founders want to meet in person, our Riyadh office is the place to do it. Most Jeddah platforms start with a fixed scope first release and move to a monthly retainer once the marketplace is trading, so new paid products, provider categories and rule changes keep shipping. Every change that touches fees, commission or payouts needs written approval from your side.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Next.js for fast, indexable listing and district pages, a Laravel or Node service for accounts, orders, commission and payouts, a managed database and image storage in a Saudi cloud region, a SAMA licensed gateway with mada and split payouts, and an e-invoicing service linked to ZATCA. Map search uses a dedicated index, so coastal and district filters stay fast as stock grows.

It depends on how many kinds of paying customer you start with.
A platform where only owners and brokers pay is quicker to launch than one that also sells services and pays out to providers, because payouts, disputes and provider onboarding add work and testing. Gateway approval and REGA technical linking can also set the pace. We agree the first release in discovery, then put the delivery dates in writing and show working software by video at the end of each cycle.
