The short answer
I advise buyers on Dubai property before they commit: off-plan launches, resale homes, rentals, portfolios and Golden Visa purchases. Each recommendation runs the same checks on the developer, supply, real costs and exit. Transactions go through RERA-licensed brokerages. If a deal fails the checks, I say so and we walk away.
Dubai real estate transactions reached a record AED 917 billion in 2025, up 20% on 2024, according to the Government of Dubai Media Office. About 129,600 of the 193,100 investors that year were new to the market, which is exactly when brochure-led buying is most expensive.
“…a more mature and sustainable market underpinned by transparency, governance, and data-driven policies.”

A market that busy rewards people who check the numbers and punishes people who buy the brochure.
Every mandate runs through the same checks:
If a deal fails these checks, I say so and we walk away.
I advise and coordinate. Transactions are executed through RERA-licensed brokerages and conveyancers, mortgages through UAE-licensed lenders or brokers, and visa applications through licensed PRO partners and the UAE authorities. You’ll always know which licensed firm is handling each step.
The brokerage side is busy too: Dubai had 32,294 registered brokers across 9,785 offices at the end of 2025, according to the Dubai Media Office. Check any agent’s registration on the Dubai REST app before you share documents.
No. I’m an independent advisor. Transactions are executed through RERA-licensed brokerages in Dubai, and any commercial arrangement is disclosed to you in writing before you proceed.
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property in designated areas of Dubai, with or without UAE residency. Check your home country’s rules on sending money abroad and declaring foreign assets before you commit.
Budget roughly 6–8% for a cash purchase: the 4% DLD transfer fee, agency commission (usually 2% plus VAT), trustee and registration fees. A mortgage adds bank and registration fees. See the cost breakdown.
A property valued at AED 2 million or more can qualify you for the 10-year Golden Visa, subject to current criteria. A lower-value property may support a two-year investor visa. See relocation and Golden Visa.
The full process for buying Dubai property from home or abroad in 2026: budget, mortgage pre-approval, agent checks, the MOU, NOC and transfer at a DLD trustee office.
How Dubai off-plan payment plans work in 2026: deposit, construction-linked and post-handover instalments, the 4% DLD fee, escrow rules, resale and mortgage limits.
How to check a Dubai property agent before you share documents or money: RERA registration on Dubai REST, Trakheesi ad permits, Forms A, B and F, and typical commission.
