Services
Six desks, one client file.
Most clients arrive to buy and stay for everything after it. The desks talk to each other, so you are not re-explaining your situation every time.
How each desk works →
Buying
A shortlist you can actually decide from.
Residents, GCC nationals and overseas buyers.
Selling
A price backed by evidence, and a buyer who completes.
Owners of apartments, villas and whole buildings.
Off-plan and new launches
Early access, and a straight answer on whether to take it.
Investors and buyers comfortable with a build period.
Leasing and management
Occupied, compliant and paid on time.
Landlords, including non-resident owners.
Portfolio advisory
A view of the whole holding, not one deal at a time.
Owners of three or more UAE properties.
Golden Visa and relocation
The paperwork, in the right order.
Buyers relocating to the UAE.
What we handle
Four asset classes.
The desks above describe how we work. This is what we work on.
Residential
Apartments, townhouses and villas across the freehold communities — to live in or to let.
Commercial
Offices, retail units and warehousing, for occupiers and for investors buying the income.
Whole buildings
Full residential and mixed-use blocks, sold as a single asset with the rent roll attached.
Land and plots
Freehold plots for development, with the zoning and buildability checked before you offer.
Why us
Four things you can hold us to.
Every brokerage in Dubai says it is trustworthy. These are the specific commitments behind that word, written so you can tell when we have broken one.
We have seen a downturn
Anyone can sell into a rising market. Our advisors traded through 2008 and 2014, so they know what the top of a cycle looks like from the inside — and they will tell you when they think they are looking at one.
Evidence, not asking prices
Every valuation and every offer we put to you is backed by what comparable units actually transacted for. Asking prices tell you what a seller hopes. They are not a number you should price against.
One advisor, one file
You are not handed between a sales agent, a leasing agent and an admin team. The person who takes your brief stays with it through transfer, handover and whatever comes after.
We will talk you out of it
Our advisors are not paid to close whatever is in front of them. If the building is wrong for what you are trying to do, the honest answer costs us a commission and keeps the client. We think that trade is obvious.
How it runs
Six steps, in this order.
No viewings until we agree what we are looking for. It sounds slow. It is considerably faster than the alternative.
- 01
Brief
A conversation about budget, timeline and what the property has to do. No viewings yet.
- 02
Shortlist
Five to eight options with sale evidence attached, and the case against each one.
- 03
Viewings
Arranged in blocks so you see everything in one or two visits, in person or on video.
- 04
Offer
We negotiate on transacted evidence. You see the seller's position before you commit.
- 05
Transfer
Deposit, NOC, DLD registration and title transfer, coordinated end to end.
- 06
After
Handover snagging, leasing set-up if you're letting it, and a review each year.
“We have sold through a crash, a slowdown and a boom. The advice does not change with the market — only the answer does.”
Questions
The things people ask before they call.
Buying here is more straightforward than most people expect. These are the four that come up on every first call.
Can I buy property in Dubai if I don't live in the UAE?
Yes. In designated freehold areas any nationality can own property outright, with no residency requirement and no local partner. You do not need to be in Dubai to complete — purchases can be done by power of attorney or remotely.
What does a purchase cost on top of the price?
Budget roughly 6 to 7 percent above the purchase price. That is the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4 percent, registration and trustee fees, an agency fee of 2 percent, and a conveyancing fee. Mortgage buyers should add bank arrangement and valuation costs.
Does buying property get me residency?
A property purchase at or above 2 million AED can qualify you for the 10-year Golden Visa, and there is a 2-year investor visa at a lower threshold. Off-plan purchases can qualify depending on how much you have paid in. We check eligibility against your specific purchase before you commit.
How does an off-plan payment plan actually work?
You pay a deposit on booking, then instalments tied either to construction milestones or to fixed dates, with a final payment on handover. A 60/40 plan means 60 percent across the build and 40 percent at handover. Post-handover plans let you keep paying after you have the keys. Every plan on this site is shown in full on the project page.
