Twenty minutes of questions save months of wrong viewings
Dubai has thousands of listings and no shortage of people eager to show them to you. What it lacks is someone who asks first. Whether you're buying a home, a holiday base or an investment, I start by writing a brief with you: budget, timeline, family, use, and the return or lifestyle you expect.
That brief becomes the filter for everything that follows: the areas, developers, layouts and payment plans worth your time. It also tells us early when an idea doesn't add up, which is far cheaper to hear in week one than after a reservation.
- Purpose first. Home, holiday base, rental yield or capital growth: each points to a different area and a different unit.
- Numbers on the table. Purchase costs, service charges, financing and realistic returns, before you fall for anything.
- A written brief. One page you can approve, adjust and hold me to.
- No obligation. A 20-minute call to start, with no commitment to buy.
From a loose idea to a written brief
Your goals, your timeline and who the property is really for.
Price, fees, service charges and financing, worked out in full.
Which one fits, and how it changes the search.
Two or three districts that match how you live, trade-offs included.
Ready or off-plan, track record and handover risk.
Cash, payment plan or mortgage, and what each one costs you.
Realistic yields and appreciation, not brochure numbers.
One page that drives the search and changes when you do.
How the needs analysis actually works
01Do I have to buy through you?
No. The briefing doesn't commit you to anything. Most clients carry on into the property search because the brief is already built, but it's yours to keep either way.
02What does it cost?
The briefing call is free. If you go on to buy, my fee is the standard agency commission, paid at closing: nothing upfront, nothing if you don't buy.
03How long does it take?
The first call takes about 20 minutes. The written brief usually follows within a day or two, and the search starts as soon as you approve it.
04Can it be done remotely?
Yes. A video call and a shared document are all it takes, wherever you are in the world.
