Dubai Property Advisor

Buy or sell in Dubai. Advised properly.

Whether you're buying or selling, I make sure both sides are properly advised. That's how deals stop falling apart, and how a sale or purchase turns into a successful transfer.

Why work with an advisor

Most deals don't fall apart over price. They fall apart over bad advice.

Buying or selling in Dubai, both sides need someone who explains the timelines, the fees and the process, and keeps the deal moving. That's the whole job: getting you to a successful transfer.

Both sides, advised

I represent buyers and sellers, and give each side the same straight advice, so you always know exactly what's happening and what comes next.

Sharp negotiation

I know what properties are worth and how to push. You never get talked into the wrong number, and the terms end up working in your favour.

One point of contact

Rather than juggling ten or twenty agents, you deal with one person. I tap a trusted network across 20+ Dubai areas and manage all of it for you.

Referral-ledMostly repeat & word of mouth

I'm a property advisor based in Dubai, representing clients whether you're buying, selling, or both. Four years working both sides means I understand exactly how sellers think and what buyers need, and I use that to get the right outcome for you.

I've transacted across more than twenty Dubai areas, from first studios to family villas, and built a trusted network of the go-to agents in each one. Rather than dealing with ten or twenty agents, you deal with one person: me. I'm a Dubai property owner myself, and I've renovated, so I know the journey personally, not just professionally.

Most of my business comes through referrals and repeat clients. That says everything about how I work.

The process
First conversation
From first conversation to keys. You speak to one person throughout, I manage everything else.
01  /  08
Step 01

First conversation

A straightforward call. Budget, preferred areas, timeframe. No interrogation, no pressure, just a clear brief.

Step 02

Building your brief

We go deeper: views, layout, community, lifestyle. I build a clear picture before I start searching.

Step 03

I go to work

I tap my network of trusted agents across Dubai. Rather than dealing with ten or twenty agents, you deal with one person: me.

Step 04

Your shortlist

A curated selection that genuinely fits your brief. You give feedback, we refine, until the right options are in front of you.

Step 05

Viewings

I arrange all access and come with you to every viewing, knowing what to look for and what to ask.

Step 06

Offer & negotiation

Once your financing is in place, I negotiate on your behalf. I know what properties are worth and how to push.

Step 07

Paperwork & close

I manage the MOU, the deposit and everything with the other agent before transfer. You stay informed without being buried in it.

Step 08

Transfer day

We complete at the Trustee office and the title deed is yours. The only thing left is to plan the move.

"My job is simple: a successful transfer. When both sides are properly advised, deals stop stalling and stop falling apart. Four years in the Dubai market has shown me exactly what goes wrong, and how to keep it from happening to you."

Good questions

Questions I get asked first.

What does working with you cost?
The standard agency commission in Dubai is 2% of the property value plus 5% VAT, the same whether I represent you as a buyer or a seller. That fee gets paid on the deal either way. The difference is the level of service behind it.
Do you represent buyers or sellers?
Both. My goal is a successful transfer, so I advise whichever side you're on, and sometimes both, making sure everyone understands the process and the deal actually completes.
Can you help if I've already found a property or a buyer?
Yes. Plenty of people come to me mid-deal and just want proper advice, appraisal, and someone managing it through to completion. I can step in at any stage.
Which areas of Dubai do you cover?
All of them. I've transacted across more than twenty Dubai areas and have trusted agents in each one, so wherever you're buying or selling, ready or off-plan, I can help.
How quickly can we get started?
Usually within a few days. Grab the free guide below or book a call, and we'll get moving shortly after.
