The International MLS Forum in Milan, Italy, brought together pioneers from the MLS industry to share their innovative journeys and visions for the future. Among the distinguished panelists was Ahmed Elbatrawy, whose story of founding ArabMLS in Egypt captivated the audience.
Ahmed Elbatrawy transitioned from a successful brokerage career in Florida to lead the MLS movement in Egypt. His journey was marked by years of relationship-building and securing funding, culminating in the establishment of a government-approved domain in Egypt. Ahmed's deep understanding of Middle Eastern markets and focus on publicity beyond the realtor community were crucial in gaining momentum. "I believe there was too much potential, and I was looking to help as many people as I can back in my countries," he explained, emphasizing his motivation.
Ahmed's strategic decision to align ArabMLS with the government provided the organization with credibility and support, essential for widespread adoption. This partnership, though slower, was in line with Ahmed's vision for ArabMLS, allowing for a strategic approach in gaining brokers' buy-in. Looking forward, Ahmed aims to expand ArabMLS's reach within Egypt and beyond.
For those looking to launch MLS, Ahmed highlighted the importance of patience, hard work, and belief in one's mission. "If you believe you’re going to be the change and you want to make a change in other people’s lives, you have to be patient, you have to work hard, and you have to believe in what you’re doing to make the change," he advised. Ahmed's experience underscores the significance of strategic government partnerships and a steadfast commitment to one's mission in pioneering MLS.
