Independent Brokerage Status & Developer Distinction

stars

Important Distinction for Buyers & Investors

Sword Investment is an independent marketing broker and investment advisor. We are not the master property developer, general contractor, or landowning entity of the projects featured, unless expressly defined in an exclusive proprietary project mandate.

All sales reservations (Expressions of Interest - EOI / Booking Forms), preliminary and final contracts of sale (عقود البيع الابتدائية والنهائية), installment payment schedules, construction warranties, and delivery milestones are entered into directly between the Client (Purchaser) and the respective Master Developer or private Seller.

Sword Investment provides advisory guidance, contract explanation, and transaction facilitation; however, legal and contractual obligations concerning construction permits, architectural compliance, completion timelines, and escrow accounts remain the sole responsibility of the respective developer under Egyptian Civil Code and real estate regulations.

  • check_circle Contracts of sale are executed directly with the certified property developer.
  • check_circle Installment payments and maintenance deposits are disbursed directly to developer bank accounts.
  • check_circle Sword Investment does not collect property purchase installments on behalf of developers.
