How EAZAE Works For YOU
Not here just to make empty promises, but actually working really hard for you by:
1. Being your personal source of knowledge about the buying process, individual homes (apartments, townhouses, villas), secondary market vs. new development properties, neighborhood amenities, and market dynamics – think of us as private detectives!
2. Helping you clarify your Real Estate goals in relation to the local market and set your expectations on price, home size, and more – like a life coach would, but this one is working on commission.
3. Providing you with access to a network of agents, developers, sellers, mortgage brokers and keep you updated on off-market properties that have not been listed – we just know a guy who knows a guy…
4. Scheduling showings that align with your schedule and keep you informed about available properties – so we are like your private assistant, only better looking!
5. Attending showings with you in order to facilitate a smooth showing process and give you a different perspective than that of the selling agent – we are your chauffeur and bodyguard too!
6. Submitting offers on your behalf and negotiate with the seller/ seller’s agent to get you the best possible deal – so in essence we’re dealers, and we get you the right stuff…
7. Managing the contractual process and the back-and-forth negotiation between you, the seller, and everyone involved in the transaction – let us do the party planning…so you can enjoy the fun part!
8. Giving support and guidance in filling out applications for financing and insurance – if we act like your personal lawyers – so be it!
9. Coordinating your closing and final walk-through / snagging, as well offer assistance with setting up utilities accounts and making arrangements for moving in and furnishing if necessary – so you’re not left in the dark, with no water to shower, and having to sleep on the floor…
10. Being a future resource to you should you ever want information about the market or ever consider selling your home – just to be clear, we don’t want to marry you…but whatever it is you need, we will always be there for YOU!
Real Estate agents have a fiduciary duty to act in their client's best interest
Representing the Seller
Read our Seller’s Guide
Brand new high-rise apartments and modern villas with stunning living spaces are coming to the market all the time in Dubai, meaning sellers need to work a little harder to yield a lucrative return on their investments. Working with us gives you the competitive edge when it comes to correct evaluation, creative marketing strategy, sales strategy and negotiation. Stay informed on the process and increase your chances to sell faster for a higher price by following this 10-step guide for the seller, packed with valuable advice put together by our property experts.
Work only with a licensed Real Estate agent with inside-out knowledge of the local market and a solid reputation for providing excellent customer service. Select a licensed and qualified brokerage that can market your home effectively to a strong network of buyers and represent your best interests at negotiations. Contact our office and book a consultation with one of our Associate agents for professional advice and guidance on selling your home.
Arrange a face-to-face meeting with your agent for an accurate valuation of your home and detailed market analysis of similar properties in the area. This will help you set a fair price to attract the right buyers. Remember, the advertised price is often not the final sale price.
Consider listing your home exclusively with a Real Estate company that will deploy and dedicate an entire team – with full agency support and resources behind – to deliver a best-in-class marketing campaign and sales strategy to attract the right buyers at your desired price. No stress, no fuss, no wasting time – only measurable results.
When selling properties in Dubai, a sale can be completed within 7 to 10 days between a cash seller and a cash buyer. Where the property is financed through a mortgage, the full process can take up to two months.
Deep clean and declutter your home and tidy up the landscaping to create a welcoming vibe and maximize its sale value. Your resourceful agent will arrange a professional photographer to create high quality marketing assets to reach potential buyers. Consider working with a brokerage with in-house professional staging expertise.
Avoid any delays in the sale process by having all the required paperwork ready. These include your valid passport and visa( if you’re an expat), the Title Deed (apply as soon as possible if you don’t have one), the Affection Plan, maintenance fees receipts, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) bills, and the tenancy agreement (if applicable).
Once you have accepted an offer, you will enter into a legally binding agreement with the buyer called Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which outlines all the details and terms of the sale.
If you have a mortgage with a bank, you will need to apply for a Liability Letter stating the total outstanding amount to be paid. This can take up to two weeks. Then, the buyer will need to settle the mortgage in order to obtain a Clearance Certificate, the original Title Deed, and all other security documents.
Your broker will apply for the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer to ensure the property has been fully paid for and is free from any outstanding charges or maintenance fees. This can take up to seven working days.
Visit the Dubai Land Department to complete the transfer of property ownership to the new owner and receive your payment in the form of a manager’s cheque. A new Title Deed will then be issued to the new owner.

Set a budget for your new home and consider all the associated charges, such as a 2% agency commission fee and a 4% transfer fee payable to the Dubai Land Department.
A minimum deposit of 25% is also required for properties financed with a mortgage. The interest rate is usually at around 3-8%, depending on the type of mortgage you choose. It is also worth noting that local rates will change according to any changes made by the US Federal Reserve as the UAE Dirham is pegged to the US dollar.
Check your eligibility with a mortgage advisor if you want to finance your property through a bank. The advisor can also recommend suitable mortgage products and provide pre-approval so you can secure your offer more quickly.
Homebuyers are spoiled for choices in Dubai, and it’s no secret that a great location is essential for protecting the value of your home. Our comprehensive area guides are an excellent place to start your research, or contact our office for a personalized discussion to help you determine the best location for your lifestyle needs.
Decide what type of features or facilities matter to you the most (e.g., number of bedrooms, concierge service), so you can streamline your online search and property viewings.
A licensed and qualified broker can represent you in negotiating contracts and handling transactions effectively. Contact one of our RERA licensed Associate agents to secure your dream home.

If your offer is accepted, you will enter into a legally binding agreement with the seller called Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which outlines all the details and terms of the purchase. You will need to provide a copy of your passport to the broker, a 10% deposit to the property agency (never directly to the seller), and a PDC in the name of the broker’s company for the commission.
Thoroughly review the Sales Agreement and make sure you understand and agree with all the terms and conditions of this legally binding document.

Have you got a rental property and need help finding a great tenant that will not cause you any headaches? We’ve been there before, so we totally understand. We can definitely help, whether you want to list short-term or long-term properties of any type, from apartment towers to villas.
Get in touch with us so we can take of your business in the most efficient and effective manner. In the meantime, just have a look at our step-by-step guide, packed with valuable advice for landlords like yourself.
Contact a reputable Real Estate company that cooperates with other agencies, and ask for a marketing valuation or comparative market analysis (CMA) for your property’s current rental value.
Consider hiring a property manager through your agent to prepare and present your property in its best condition to stand out and attract the right tenants.
This is particularly beneficial if you own multiple properties or manage your investment remotely. A property manager can also help you deal with any maintenance issues, handle payment collections, and renew your property on your behalf so you can have complete peace of mind.
Find a broker with a good reputation and one that you can count on to look after your best interests and give your property the best exposure in the market.
As the registered owner, you will need to sign a RERA listing form to give your broker permission to list and market your property. You will also need to provide a copy of the title deeds and your ID so that your broker can complete their due diligence.
Once your property is listed, stay in touch with your agent for timely updates and try to attend the viewings so you can engage directly with any potential tenants.
Consider every offer that comes your way and be prepared to negotiate. On the other hand, don’t discard any offers until you know how popular your property is on the market.
Consider seeking legal advice and support when going through the tenancy agreement with your tenants and drawing up the final contracts.
You will be required by law to register your lease agreements with Ejari, a system designed to regulate and facilitate the rental market of Dubai. Your contract will be kept on file for the duration of the tenancy, where it cannot be altered.
Consider the essential features and amenities you want or need (e.g., location, convenience, neighbourhood), and use research to inform your budget.
Remember the advertised price that you see only includes the total annual rent and does not include the following:
Security deposit (5-10% of annual rent)
Brokerage fees (usually 5% of annual rent, but some brokers charge a minimum of 5,000 AED per tenancy contract)
Moving/relocation expenses
Deposits for gas, DEWA, Internet and Phone line connections
Housing fees for Dubai Municipality (5% of annual rent)
You will need your passport, residence visa and Emirates ID to enter into a tenancy agreement. Having these ready, along with the required funds, will help you secure your dream home more quickly.
Hiring a licensed Real Estate agent can help you find the right property in a highly competitive and dynamic market. He/She can also assist in negotiating the terms of the lease with your potential landlord and keep you up to date with upcoming listings that match your requirements. We strongly recommend that you ask to see their RERA card to confirm that they are operating legally.
Your agent should accompany you on all viewings. Ask as many questions as you want, and be sure to take note of any maintenance issues and ask to arrange for repairs before you move in.
Once you’ve put in an offer through your agent, they will start negotiating with the landlord. At the point of offer, you will need to provide your passport, Emirates ID, and residence visa, as well as making three payments by cheques – for the deposit, first rental payment and your broker’s commission.
You can negotiate the price and number of payments, to either pay in one payment up front for the whole year or pay in up to 12 instalments (provided as post-dated cheques).
Note that it is illegal to bounce a cheque in the UAE and you could face arrest and detention if a cheque is submitted without adequate funds to cover the cost.
Review the terms and conditions of your tenancy agreement thoroughly. Make sure everything that has been agreed with the landlord is added to the agreement. Once both parties sign the tenancy contract, the Landlord must register the tenancy with Ejari, a system designed to regulate and facilitate the rental market of Dubai.
To set up your water and electricity connection, submit an online application for Dubai Water & Electricity Authority (DEWA). Fill out a form and provide the Ejari number, Emirates ID number and your passport number. Then, pay the security deposit through DEWA’s online payment gateway, and the service will be activated within 24 hours.
