The study examined the influence of buyer-seller relationship on sales effectiveness in Ayat Real Estate. Explanatory research design was applied to examine how strength of ties, information, and solidarity influence sales effectiveness in the real estate sector. Data were collected from a sample of 118 respondents, of which 112 are salespersons and six are sales supervisors. A standard questionnaire has been used to collect data. The collected data were analysed using descriptive, correlation, regression, and inferential statistical tools. The result shows that buyer-seller relationship has a significant positive effect on sales effectiveness. In terms of relative effect of predictors, information has stronger effect (with ß = 0.424), followed by solidarity (ß = 0.222), and personal ties (ß = 0.218).
