No Saudi properties advertised
website says... buy a piece of Saudi, however no Saudi properties are advertised, only from UAE. Moreover, there are no real time experience stories from any investors on whether they are seeing any capital growth or getting the rent etc. as assured is not clear. negative reviews are bit off setting

Hi Mohamed, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
To clarify, our Saudi investment opportunities are offered through Stake Funds, which is regulated by the CMA. That’s why you won’t see individual Saudi properties listed like in the UAE - the structure is different, but the opportunities are very much available.
On your point about investor experiences: our community of thousands of investors are already receiving rental income and returns. You can find their stories and detailed case studies on Stake Academy and our blog - we encourage you to explore them.
We’re proud to be rated Excellent (4.4/5) on Trustpilot. Naturally, not every review is positive, but we believe transparency means addressing concerns openly and we’re always here to answer questions directly.
If you’d like, we’d be happy to walk you through how Saudi funds work - just drop us an email at contact@getstake.com.

A Game-Changer in Real Estate Investing!
I recently made my first investment with Stake, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The entire process—from onboarding to completing the transaction—was seamless, professional, and fully transparent. What stood out most was the personal support from the Stake team, especially the warm follow-up from both Co-Founders. It truly felt like I was investing with a trusted partner, not just an app.
As someone based outside the UAE, I found the platform incredibly user-friendly and reassuringly secure. I’m excited to grow with Stake and explore more opportunities in the future.
Highly recommend it to anyone looking for smart, accessible real estate investment options.

I have started investing in GetStake since the beginning of 2025. So far I have invested in 7 properties. The platform looks legit but the return on investment is no way as I expected. My portfolio has gone up by 5AED in last 5 months. On top of that some properties which have been fuly funded still not showing as rented, so I expect I would not receive any rent until an unforseen period. My advice to any newbies looking for investing is 'Dont expect Get Rich Quick but invest for long run and one day after 3/5 years your dream may come true of earning a passive income from rental'.

I had a terrible experience with Stake
I had a terrible experience with Stake, a real estate investment platform. To sell my shares on May 6, 2025, I was forced to lower their price by 10-15% because, without this discount, I would not have been able to sell them at all. This, combined with miscellaneous charges and fees, led to a total loss of about 14% on my original investment in one year, wiping out all the rental income I received and a major capital loss. Even worse, Stake confirmed they received the buyer’s payment but are holding my money for "three months", refusing to release it until the end of July 2025! Their message during the sale process said "the payout would be after May 20, 2025", so this long delay feels like a scam. Who is investing or profiting from my money during these three months? On top of that, Stake charges huge fees for buying and selling, making it a terrible deal. I strongly warn others to avoid Stake due to their shady practices and high costs.
-----------------------------
Update 1
-------------------------------
Stake’s response confirms my claims and exposes their deceptive practices.
1) They admit that selling after one year results in a loss, as “initial appreciation will likely not outweigh the transaction costs.” This validates my 14% loss, including wiped-out rental income and capital depreciation, due to their high fees and forced 10-15% share price discount.
2) They confirm holding my money for three months post-sale, claiming it’s for “SPV share transfers and registration.” Yet, during this period, I’m uninvolved while they hold and potentially invest my funds, based on what authority or benefit to me? This lack of transparency feels like a scam.
3) Their response admits the payout delay until July 2025, contradicting their app message stating that it will be “after May 20, 2025” (Screenshot is available), proving their misleading communication.
4) Their “10-11% annualized return” claim is irrelevant to my experience and seems like a marketing tactic to deflect criticism.
5) The high fees for buying and selling, combined with their illiquid “exit windows” dependent on buyer demand, make Stake a predatory platform.
I stand by my 1-star rating (or less if available) and urge others to avoid Stake’s shady, costly practices.
-------------------------------
Update 2
-------------------------------
Stake’s responses reveal a platform designed to trap investors, admitting that selling within a year causes steep losses due to ridiculous fees. Simple calculations indicate that even holding for two years may lead to a significant loss. Ironically, their website features a profit calculation tool that misleadingly suggests profitable returns for each property, even within a year !!, highlighting their deceptive practices.
They confirm holding your funds for 2-3 months post-sale for vague “SPV transfers,” offering no transparency on how they use your money during this period, which demands legal scrutiny. Their claim of clear payout timelines through misleading communication.
Investors are strongly advised to review Stake’s responses, critically evaluate their questionable practices, and have legal consultation before considering any involvement with this platform.

Hello, we appreciate you coming back with further points and would like to provide some further clarification.
1) They admit that selling after one year results in a loss, as “initial appreciation will likely not outweigh the transaction costs.” This validates my 14% loss, including wiped-out rental income and capital depreciation, due to their high fees and forced 10-15% share price discount.
With investing in real estate, the fees are the same whether you're investing fractionally or investing in a full property by yourself. If you bought a house yourself and tried to sell it after a year, then you would experience the same loss, as you would have paid all the transaction costs associated with buying and selling. Stake simply offers to reduce the minimum threshold to invest in real estate, however the inherent principle of investing for the long term to realize true gains remains the same.
2) They confirm holding my money for three months post-sale, claiming it’s for “SPV share transfers and registration.” Yet, during this period, I’m uninvolved while they hold and potentially invest my funds, based on what authority or benefit to me? This lack of transparency feels like a scam.
To clarify, you're not "uninvolved" in this process. You will continue to receive monthly rent until the share transfer processes is completed. It's also not for 3 months, it's for 2 months, as we project the transfers to be completed by end of July. You would then receive the rent normally for May and June as well.
3) Their response admits the payout delay until July 2025, contradicting their app message stating that it will be “after May 20, 2025” (Screenshot is available), proving their misleading communication.
Could you kindly provide any screenshot you have stating this? Everywhere in the app is clearly stated that the payout will be end of July.
4) Their “10-11% annualized return” claim is irrelevant to my experience and seems like a marketing tactic to deflect criticism.
You can check any of our Exited properties and see this for yourself as well, we're very transparent with all of our metrics.
5) The high fees for buying and selling, combined with their illiquid “exit windows” dependent on buyer demand, make Stake a predatory platform.
Again, with investing in real estate, it's a long-term play. We do provide a liquidity option, however it's based on demand and we can't guarantee an early exit. Therefore when you invest for the long-term you're much more likely to realize proper returns.

Hello Omar,
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
We want to highlight that we don't necessarily recommend exiting through the window, especially after just 1 year of ownership as initial appreciation will likely not outweigh the transaction costs just yet. Our advice has always been to hold the investment for 4-5 years, ideally until the full property sale, to achieve optimal returns. We view real estate as a long-term investment due to its potential for appreciation over time, rental income generation, and the stability it offers as a tangible asset. We have averaged around a 10-11% annualized return for properties that have been held until the full exit.
We offer our exit windows as a method of liquidation should you really desire to exit early. Again, the window depends on demand, and if there's a willing buyer.
Exit window transactions do take some time to be completed and transferred, as this involves transferring the SPV shares and registration with DIFC and Dubai Land Department. This process begins after the window closes on May 20th. We project all transfers to be completed by end of July, as mentioned in the timeline when listing the shares.
Sellers will still continue to receive rent until the share transfers are completed.
Hope this helps to clarify.
Need clarification
I started investing in real estate in Dubai through the Stake platform. I was very excited about the prospect of benefiting from the returns advertised on their website, as Getstake makes great promises of returns and added value to its users. I know full well that this is an investment and that any investment is risky. However, for some time now, by analyzing the data provided by the site a little more closely, I realize that my investments may not be that interesting.
If we take for example the last property that was sold through the platform: 1 Bed in Bloom Tower in JVC; acquired for AED 965,000, by scrolling down the apartment description page, I realize, for example, that the transaction costs, which are not immediately indicated at the top of the page, are extremely high. Indeed, transaction costs amount to nearly 15% (14.89%) of the property price. I'd like to know what these costs are made up of. But if I understand correctly, this means that to make a capital gain, the value of the property would have to increase by at least 15% over the years? Which is not certain.
Having already invested in several apartments, I would have preferred that the prices of the properties displayed already included these transaction costs and that the visible price was the final and total amount to acquire the property. Why talk about a rental yield of 5.80% if in the end, when we include the acquisition costs, it is actually only 5.05%? Stake users, perhaps like me, are new to real estate investing, and Stake, which aims to be a platform that simplifies things, should therefore reframe things by displaying a total investment cost at the top of the page (large and in green). This cost should include the property price + the acquisition cost. And it is this total investment cost that should be used to calculate the annual net yield. Because by doing the right calculations, we still go from the displayed 5.80% to a projected 5.05% net yield, which is still a big difference. Perhaps we should also offer case studies that new users could consult, using as an example a property that was acquired through Getstake and then resold. Everyone could learn more about the real possibilities of such a system and see what investors have earned by investing AED 2,000, AED 4,000, etc.
Stake has existed since 2021, but it's difficult to gain perspective and see what its investment strategy can yield over the long term. To date, more than 400 homes have been acquired, and only 15 have been sold in over four years. Why haven't they sold more properties? In one of their videos, the co-founder says that if a property increases in value by more than 30%, a vote will be held among investors to possibly resell it. Why have there been so few sales since 2021? Is it because the properties haven't increased by 30% in three or even four years? In that case, are the advertised 10% annual appreciation real? Are the properties easily resold? Will it be easy to recoup your initial investment or even make a capital gain? I'm now asking myself these questions, which I think are legitimate. I think we should share more user feedback so we can better plan ahead, even if it's still an investment and we don't know the future. Moreover, being currently during the exit window period, we can see that there are shares of 165 homes for sale. 165 out of 400 is a lot. I see that the yields on these homes are no longer what was originally announced and are lower; I saw one at 2.72%.
In the meantime, I just saw that the platform has just added a new apartment (Studio in Laya Heights, Dubai Studio City) with transaction costs of 17%, which will therefore have to be added to the property price and therefore, the projected net yield is not 5.60% as indicated but 4.78%. So the property advertised at a price of AED 670,000 would have to exceed AED 783,538 to hope to make a capital gain? Is that correct? Is my reasoning correct? I would like someone from Stake to answer me in order to clarify all these points.
Thank you.

Hi Abdallah,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of transparency when it comes to making investment decisions.
We want to ensure that all our investors are fully informed about the expected rental income yield and the factors that might impact the final dividends received.
The mentioned net yield for rental income displayed on our property page is based on the property price, as this is the industry benchmark. However, the initial investment price includes additional transaction costs in line with standard real estate procedures.
To ensure complete transparency, we have made sure that this amount (net of all the transaction costs) is explicitly presented in your cart and the investment calculator before completing the purchase. The details and transaction costs are also outlined in the projections document for each property.
We believe that providing this information at the time of investment empowers you to make well-informed decisions and aligns with our commitment to keeping you informed at every step.
Regarding exits:
Real estate is inherently a long-term investment and our holding periods reflect that — typically 3 to 5 years. Many of the 400+ properties on the platform have not yet reached maturity, but the 15 that have exited have delivered strong results, with average total annualized returns of 10–11%. To clarify, our appreciation projects are 6% per year, and not 10%. The 10% projection is the annualized return (which includes both rent and appreciation). Our exit window is designed to offer liquidity for those who need it, but our guidance remains to hold properties for the full cycle to optimize returns.
Regarding exit window yields:
There are a few factors for lower yields advertised on the window. The value of the property has increased from the initial purchase price. The rent has also increased and is in line with the market value for the building, however the increase on the rent is smaller than the increase in value. Therefore, the yield has dropped. Additionally, the net yield mentioned in the primary market is based on the total investment cost, which is the property price plus the transaction costs needed to complete the deal, as opposed to the primary market. We're working on aligning these yields in the future as well.
We truly appreciate your suggestions regarding educational case studies and sharing user journeys — these are great ideas, and our team is actively working on new tools and content to help investors better understand the performance and timeline of their investments.
We’d be happy to connect with you directly to walk through your investments or answer any other questions you might have. Please feel free to reach out to us at contact@getstake.com anytime.
Thank you again for your continued trust and valuable insights.
