Every shortlist
comes with the numbers.

Most Dubai listings show you a price and a photo. We show you what you'll actually pay, what it costs to hold, and what it could earn, before you ever book a viewing.

i.

Chosen, not listed

A short edit of homes that fit your life and your capital, not every unit on the portals.

ii.

Negotiated hard

Big Four discipline on price, payment plans and terms. We work for you, not the developer.

iii.

Settled, not sold

Visa, banking and setup introductions so the move feels as easy as the purchase.

Questions

Before you ask.

Can I buy without being in Dubai?

Yes. Many of our buyers start abroad. We run live video viewings, and you can complete through a power of attorney, then fly in when you're ready.

Will buying property get me a UAE visa?

Owning property worth AED 2M or more can qualify you for the 10-year Golden Visa. We'll check your eligibility and connect you with the right people to apply.

What costs should I budget beyond the price?

Mainly the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, the agency fee, registration charges, and mortgage costs if you finance. Every shortlist shows these line by line.

Ready home or off-plan?

Ready homes let you move in or rent straight away. Off-plan can mean better prices and payment plans. We'll show you both side by side for your budget.

What's the minimum budget you work with?

We work with buyers from AED 1M, up to signature villas at AED 15M and above.
