What the headline rate hides is dispersion. Growth is not evenly distributed across communities, asset types or payment structures, and the average is rarely the right guide to a single purchase. That is the work.

Eight steps. One unbroken line.

The person on your first call is the person beside you when the keys change hands.

  1. What you want the property to do for you, and by when. No listings yet.

  2. Budget, location, timing and financing, written down, with the costs around the price: the 4% DLD transfer fee and the 2% agency fee.

  3. Prices from recorded sales in the communities on your list, with the transaction history for you to check.

  4. Properties that fit the brief and the numbers, with what each one trades away stated plainly.

  5. Your advisor arranges and attends every viewing, in person or by video call if you are abroad, and tells you what the photographs leave out.

  6. We negotiate on figures we can source, then read the sales agreement through with you before you sign.

  7. The developer issues the No Objection Certificate and ownership transfers at the Dubai Land Department. The title deed is issued in your name.

  8. Keys, utilities and handover checked. Afterwards, the same people for letting, resale or a simple question.

Property, visa, company and bank

Agency 8 Corporate Services sits beside the brokerage: business setup, visas, tax exit and corporate banking, handled by one firm.

A property of AED 2,000,000 or more opens the 10-year Golden Visa route (GDRFA Dubai, checked 25 September 2026). The property and the paperwork can be one conversation.

Not financial or immigration advice. Rules change; we check the official source before we advise.

Selling or letting?

We look at recent sales in your building before we quote, list at a price the numbers support, and report to you every week.

List your property

What would we list it at?

We look at recent sales in your building before we call, so the number is grounded, not flattering.

Not there? Choose "Other" and name it in the next field.

Not sure is fine; choose Undecided.

A phone number or an email is enough.
