Nine stages. The last one is years after the signature.

Discovery

Before any project is named we establish your actual objective: capital growth, yield, Golden Visa eligibility, lifestyle use, exit horizon. Your true all-in budget including DLD fees, Oqood registration and service charges, and your tolerance for developer tier and delivery risk. Because our advisors are salaried, the shortlist can include projects that pay us less than a competing one.

What the market does insteadA commission-only agent has a direct financial reason not to shortlist the project that pays them least. That reason does not exist here.

When

Before anything is signed

Due diligence

Every project we put in front of you has already been through escrow verification, DLD registration checks, construction-status tracking and a review of the developer's delivery track record. You are shown the due diligence itself, not just the shortlist it produced, so you can see why a project made the cut.

What the market does insteadMost buyers are shown a brochure and a payment plan. The delay history of the developer who built it is rarely part of the conversation.

SPA support

We walk you through the payment plan, the SPA's delay and cancellation clauses, and any resale or assignment restrictions, in plain language, before signature. Where you want it, we connect you with independent UAE-qualified counsel to review the SPA, rather than relying on the developer's own legal team to explain a contract the developer wrote.

What the market does insteadThis is where a commission-only agent gets paid. It is also, for most of the market, where the relationship quietly ends.

When

Day one, then typically 2 to 4 weeks later

Paperwork

Reservation form · booking deposit 5–10% · SPA · Oqood certificate (Dubai) or initial registration certificate (Abu Dhabi)

Construction

We track actual progress against the DLD project tracker and our own developer relationships, and flag emerging delay risk to you proactively. Roughly 40–50% of Dubai off-plan projects slip, averaging around 8.5 months; tier-3 developer delays regularly run 10–18 months.

What the market does insteadAn overseas buyer with nobody monitoring construction typically learns a project has slipped when the developer decides to tell them.

When

Two to four years, usually

Snagging

We coordinate an independent, third-party snagging inspection ahead of final sign-off, using specialist inspection firms, not the developer's own handover team, and support you through defect rectification before final payment or mortgage drawdown is released.

What the market does insteadThe developer that built the unit is not a credible party to inspect its own work. Independent snagging is a whole industry in Dubai for exactly that reason.

When

Weeks before handover, then completion

Fit-out

Whether the unit is for your own use or going straight to rental, we introduce vetted interior design and turnkey furnishing specialists who can deliver a move-in or rental-ready unit without you managing contractors from another country.

What the market does insteadNot offered at all by transaction-focused brokers, and outside the developer's remit entirely.

When

The years after

Letting

For buy-to-let owners we find and place a qualified tenant, and where you want it, hand over to a trusted property management partner for rent collection, maintenance coordination and lease renewal. The point a competing broker would call the finish line is, for us, the midpoint.

What the market does insteadRequires finding a new agent from scratch, usually a cold approach from abroad, with no way to judge who is any good.

When

The years after

Mortgage

We connect you with independent mortgage advisors experienced in non-resident lending, typically 35–40% down payment and around 50% LTV for off-plan, for both initial financing and later refinancing. For repeat investors we help sequence further acquisitions against the existing portfolio.

What the market does insteadUsually a one-off broker introduction after the sale, with no interest in whether the rate still makes sense three years later.

Resale

When you are ready to sell, an off-plan assignment before handover, or a secondary sale after, we manage the Form F, developer NOC and Oqood transfer process, and find your next buyer. The whole lifecycle stays inside one relationship instead of being scattered across strangers at every stage.

What the market does insteadThe developer has no interest in your exit; it would rather keep selling new inventory. Your original agent left the industry two years ago.
