The right property at the right price = you can exit whenever you need to, without losing money.
What You’re Actually Worried About
- Pain Point 1: Will I Be Able to Sell Quickly?
Liquidity matters more than asking price.
Some areas = 60 days on market. Others = 12 days.
- Pain Point 2: Am I Overpaying?
Listings show “market average”—but what about THIS unit? Floor, view, condition all matter. - Pain Point 3: Service Charges Eat Profits
8 AED/sqft vs 28 AED/sqft = 20k/year difference
We show real costs upfront.
