2. The Selling Process
Valuation & Strategy
We analyze recent transaction data in your specific community (e.g., Business Bay, Downtown) to recommend a realistic asking price that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.
Signing the Mandate (Form A)
The official listing agreement between Seller and Agency. It outlines the marketing price, contract duration, and agreed commission. Once signed, we apply for the Marketing Permit (Trakheesi) to legally advertise your unit.
RERA Compliant — Required by LawMarketing & Viewings
The Offer (Form F / MOU)
Once a buyer makes a serious offer, we negotiate on your behalf to reach your target price. Upon agreement, both parties sign the MOU (Form F) and the buyer puts down a 10% security deposit.
NOC & Transfer
We apply for the No Objection Certificate from the developer, then meet at the DLD Trustee Office to finalize the deal. You receive your payment via Manager's Cheque and ownership is transferred on the same day.

First Impressions Count
A fresh coat of paint and decluttering can increase a property's perceived value instantly.

Pricing it Right
Overpricing leads to a stale listing. Market-priced homes sell 50% faster — trust the data.
