Step-by-step selling guides to help you close deals faster and smarter.
Presentation & Staging
Fix minor defects (cracks, dull paint, broken fixtures) and ensure a thorough deep-clean for maximum appeal. Residual clutter, stains, and scuff marks can drastically reduce buyer offer size or motivation.
Fresh coat, declutter, garden tidy (for villas), neutral décor, and well-lit interiors help buyers emotionally connect and imagine their future home.
Valuation & Pricing Strategy
Get a market appraisal by your agent—they’ll analyse recent transactions in your area to recommend a competitive asking price.
Use tools like DXB Interact for real-time comparisons of what neighbouring units sold for over the last 30–60 days.
Official Listing Setup
Prepare documents: Form A (Contract A), photocopies of title deed, passport & Emirates ID. These are mandatory for listing or marketing a property in Dubai.
Upon submission, your agent obtains the official marketing permit to enable portal feeds (Bayut, Property Finder etc.)
Smart Marketing Channels
Launch premium‑listing status on top portals with professionally shot photos, video walkthroughs, floor plans, crisp descriptions, plus social media and email campaign boosts.
In Dubai, approximately 70% of properties sell in the first month—broad and targeted exposure shortens time on market and often raises price.
Coordinated Viewings & Feedback Loop
The consultant coordinates all viewings, answers buyer questions (on community, repair history, and selling strategy), gathers feedback, and flags serious leads.
Keep keys functional and ensure parking or security clearance is communicated—smooth access avoids lost opportunities.
Offer Negotiation & Form F Signing
Once offers arrive, your agent negotiates based on real-time comparables. A 10% Banker’s cheque, passport copy(s), and a signed Memorandum of Understanding (Form F / contract) help secure the deal.
Some agencies now use secure electronic MOU via SMS‑OTP—to reduce delays. Deposit is typically held by the broker till transfer.
Mortgage Involvement & Developer NOC
If the buyer is financing, banks require a divaluation and final mortgage offer. If there is an existing loan on the property, the seller must issue a liability letter (may take 10–14 business days).
Submit the No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the developer once all service charges are cleared. Fees typically range from AED 500–5,000; inspections may be conducted before issuance.
Ownership Transfer & Final Checks
On handover day, both sides meet at the Dubai Land Department trustee office. Buyer provides manager’s cheques:
Remaining purchase price → to seller
4% transfer fee → to DLD
DLD trustee fee (~AED 2K–5K depending on value)
Seller refunds the buyer on all prepaid service charges, calculated prorata. The DLD issues the new title deed in the buyer’s name.
Final Step: Validate with DXB Interact
Before finalising, re-verify your price on DXB Interact. It aggregates actual DLD transaction data, providing insights into price per sq.ft, dates, buyer profile (cash vs mortgage).
Real‑user feedback rates its reliability at over 90%; small anomalies exist, but overall it helps confirm your asking price is fair and current.
