How it works

Four steps, and one broker through all of them

No call centre, no handing you to whoever is free. The same person from the first shortlist to the transfer.

  1. Tell us what you are looking for

    Budget, area, and whether it is to live in or to let. No account, and no call centre in between.

  2. We send what fits, and what it should cost

    A shortlist with the recorded sales behind each price, including the ones that argue against it.

  3. Viewings with the broker who works that community

    In person or by video. The same person throughout, who knows the building rather than the brochure.

  4. Offer, paperwork and transfer

    Negotiation, Form F, developer NOC and the DLD trustee appointment, handled end to end.

We price from what sold, not from what is asked

An asking price is an opinion. A registered transaction is a fact. Every property we take you to is checked against the sales the Dubai Land Department recorded in that building and that community, and we show you the ones we used — including the sales that argue against the price.

It is the same data behind our valuation tool and our market reports, published openly rather than kept for the negotiation. If the asking price is fair, you will see why. If it is not, you will see that too, before you have paid for a valuation or a lawyer.

A broker who works the community, not a phone list

Our 900+ brokers are RERA licensed and each works a patch rather than whatever enquiry arrives next. That is the difference between being told a building is popular and being told which stack gets the afternoon sun, which tower has an open service-charge dispute, and what the last three units on that floor actually went for.

If the community you are looking at is not one we cover well, we will say so and tell you who does. A buyer sent to the wrong area is a buyer who comes back to sell in two years.

The whole purchase, not just the viewing

Offer and negotiation, the Form F, the deposit and the NOC from the developer, mortgage pre-approval where you need one, and the transfer at the Dubai Land Department trustee office. Off-plan purchases add the escrow account and the payment plan, and we check both against the project before you sign.

Buying from overseas is routine here: viewings by video, signing by power of attorney, and the transfer handled without you flying in. Once you own it, the same company can furnish it, snag it, let it and manage it, or you can take the keys and never hear from us again.

What it costs you

Nothing directly, in most cases. On a resale purchase the standard 2% agency commission is paid by the buyer, and on a new project bought from the developer the developer pays it — the price is the same whether you come through us or walk into the sales centre on your own.

The costs that are not ours: the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% plus admin, trustee office fees, and mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan where you are financing. We put the full figure in writing before you commit to anything, so the number you budget is the number you pay.

Where we buy

Communities we know street by street

Questions buyers ask us first

Yes. Any nationality can buy freehold in the designated freehold areas, which is most of what is sold today — Downtown, Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, Business Bay and the rest. You do not need residency to buy, and buying does not require you to live here.

Budget around 6% to 7% of the price in fees: the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% plus admin, trustee office fees, agency commission of 2%, and mortgage registration of 0.25% of the loan where you are financing. We put the full figure in writing before you commit.

On a resale the buyer pays the 2% commission on completion. On a new project bought from the developer, the developer pays it and the price is the same as going to their sales centre yourself.

Yes, and many of our buyers do. Viewings by video, signing by power of attorney, and the transfer handled without you flying in. You will need a passport copy and, for a mortgage, income documents from your own country.

A property of AED 750,000 or more qualifies for a two-year investor visa, and AED 2 million or more for the ten-year Golden Visa. We handle that application alongside the transfer rather than sending you elsewhere.

More of them in our buying guides, or ask us directly.

Tell us what you are looking for

A broker who works that community will come back with what is available, what it should cost, and what recently sold to prove it.
