FAQ ## Common questions **Why isn't your resale stock on Property Finder or Bayut?** New resale stock is offered to our buyer list first. Priced-right resale homes in Dubai sell within days, and our stock is refreshed every week — units go to buyers from our own list before a portal listing would even clear moderation. Every deal is still fully registered with the Dubai Land Department; only the marketing is off-market. **How much does it cost to sell an apartment in Dubai?** The buyer normally covers the big items: the 4% DLD transfer fee, the trustee office fee of about AED 4,000 and the 2% + VAT agent commission. As a seller you typically pay the developer's NOC fee (AED 500–5,000), mortgage release costs if the unit is financed, and our commission as agreed in the Form A listing agreement. **How fast can you sell my property?** We start with a free valuation against registered DLD sales and give you an honest timeframe before you sign anything. A home priced to real transactions usually finds a buyer from our base within 2–6 weeks; a cash deal then closes in another 2–4 weeks. **Can I buy a resale home in Dubai remotely?** Yes. We run viewings by video call, and the deal can be signed under power of attorney — Form F and the DLD transfer go through without you flying in. A good share of our buyers complete the purchase without visiting Dubai. **Does resale property qualify for the Golden Visa?** Yes. A ready home worth AED 2 million or more qualifies for the 10-year Golden Visa — you don't have to buy off-plan. Resale is actually simpler here: the title deed already exists. **Is it normal to negotiate on resale prices?** Completely normal. Unlike developer price lists, a resale asking price is a starting point: 2–5% off is routine, more if the unit has been sitting. We negotiate with DLD transactions from the same building in hand, not gut feeling.
