Search over 30,000 verified properties across Iraq and Kurdistan with AI-powered search, generate rental contracts and manage payments, all from an app built in Erbil. About Homele: Homele is an Iraqi real estate marketplace founded in 2020 in Erbil by Soran Hamawandi, built specifically to fix the fragmented, social-media-based property search that dominated the Iraqi market beforehand. It has grown into what it calls a real-estate "super app," connecting buyers and renters with over 1,000 developers and real-estate companies and more than 3,000 agents and brokers, with operations expanding into Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Kirkuk and Karbala. In 2025 it won the Kotler Award for its work in the Iraqi property sector. Key Features: AI-Powered Search: Find matching properties faster using an AI search engine and get investment insights on the best areas, projects and agents. Multilingual Listings: Browse more than 30,000 listings for sale or rent in Kurdish, Arabic, English and Turkish. Instant Contracts & Payments: Generate digital rental contracts and track rent or utility payments through the app instead of paperwork, using local payment rails such as Qi-Card and AsiaHawala. Landlord Tools: Screen tenants automatically, manage visitor access permissions and keep an eye on utility bills for properties you own or manage. How to Get Started: Download the Homele app (Android or iOS) or visit homele.com. Create an account and set your city and property preferences (Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Mosul, Kirkuk, Karbala and others). Use the AI search or filters to browse verified listings from agents and developers. Contact an agent directly through the app, or use the in-app contract tools if you decide to rent or buy. Important Notice: Homele is a listings and transaction-tooling marketplace rather than the seller itself — actual sale or rental agreements are made with the listing agent or developer, and final paperwork for property transfer in Iraq typically still requires in-person steps at the relevant real-estate registry.
