Selling Hassles

Selling a property can have many hassles and hurdles that a Seller has to get through. Whether it is an apartment, villa or office it can be a stressful procedure from the moment you decide to sell your property, so how do you combat the difficulties to ensure a greater peace of mind. We will go through what we believe to be the best and most successful strategy for sellers based on experience and expertise.

First you have to look and find a good agent that you can trust to sell your property for you. This can be difficult as there are many agents who are money hungry and don’t care about much more. A good agent will work with you as a seller to firstly understand what your requirements are and work to fulfill these by advising you according to your situation of all the possibilities and then assisting you to pick the right option. The benefit of picking many agents is that you expose your property to the market which increases the chances of a potential buyer seeing the property. However this is greatly outweighed by the fact the buyer’s will see that the property is listed more than once and feel that the seller is desperate to sell which is the last thing you want.

With this is in mind is being Exclusive with an agent a good idea?

The question is very much dependent on the understanding you have with the agent and how he/she interprets your requirements for the property to sell. How quickly you want to sell, what market you want to target, if you need a buyer to clear your finance? Once you have narrowed down an agent that you prefer to work with what are the benefits of choosing exclusive.

Many sellers feel lost and confused as to whom to call and follow up on with clients because of the many agent they speak to. An exclusive agent can take this off the seller’s hands by ensuring that all enquires, clients, agents and interested parties are dealt with and qualified by the agent before reaching the point of a viewing or negotiation. A good agent will communicate with the owner feedback and interest received on the property regularly which helps him/her make the right decisions of the sale based on the valuable information given said agent.

 So with these points in mind how do I ensure my property is substantially exposed in the market enough to find the right buyer for the property? With an exclusive agent the agent will feel obliged to put all their hard work on selling the property so will look at advertising as premium listings and featured listings. These listings are special and are placed at the top of all searches in the major portals in Dubai and they have highlighted descriptions which ensure the buyer spots it.

Agents also have a large network of other reputable agents that the agent will work with to ensure a greater exposure for the property which means more clients and a bigger potential to sell the property. The biggest threat to a potential sale can be over exposure as this can disinterest potential buyers as they feel the seller is desperate to sell and influence the buyer to offer a lower price.

Also good agencies will advertise in print which can be very good for high end property as high end buyers are more likely to come from print advertising. A reputable agent will look at having regular print of the property on full or half page adverts which showcases the features of the property.

Advert boards and opens houses are also very successful in different parts of the world as they can showcase the best of each property which the agent can arrange on behalf of the seller to a high standard. With this in mind we believe it is a straightforward choice. Which will you choose? Get Listed Get Sold.

Feel at home at the Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island is a mixed use development off the coast of Abu Dhabi, the project covers  a total area of 6.5 million square meters and is the first free zone of Abu Dhabi.

Al Reem is a vibrant mixed purpose community and once completed, it'll host 280,000 residents in its high rise towers catering to the needs of people looking for Abu Dhabi apartments for sale and rent. The Island will also have amenities like schools, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and medical facilities making it a complete community fulfilling the daily needs of residents. Al Reem is a free hold project and properties can be owned on an extendable lease for 99 years.

The project is divided into sub communities giving each community an identity of its own.

Marina Square:

This meticulously planned mixed use community is the face of the Island and is estimated to home 8,000 residents, the community includes 13 high rise towers with world class facilities and amenities including shopping mall and restaurants. The residential towers offer studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments with spectacular views of Marina and City Center.

Shams District:

The Shams district is gaining popularity for its amazing developments. Located on investment zone of the Island it has quick access from the city centre. This community is home to the iconic Gate Towers which has the world's highest penthouse bridge structure connecting three towers close to each other. The structure includes 21 penthouses with own swimming pools and gardens. Residents of Shams District can enjoy superior facilities offered by the master community.

City of lights:

City of lights is a vibrant mixed purpose community featuring residential and office buildings, hotels and a Marina, other amenities include parks, cafes and restaurants along shaded promenades creating an enticing experience. City of lights is al set to become the region’s most sought after destination for businesses and families and the most desirable address.

Developer Supply and Demand

Everything from sales of electronic gadgets, to cars and houses is ruled by the age old relationship of supply and demand. As supply increases it can tend to have a negative effect on demand because people will have more options and therefore a better chance of negotiating. According to Forbes, Dubai was recently voted in the top ten most influential cities in the world after cities like London, New York, Paris and Hong Kong. It is important therefore, that we in the real estate industry strive to meet and exceed the highest standards in the world in cooperation with Dubai Land Department

Previously Dubai was a city which was developing from zero and the rest of the world was not aware of what it was like to actually live here. With the strides Dubai has made, it is at the forefront of many people’s minds as the desirable destination to be. But this hasn’t come easy. It has taken years of structuring, building and maintaining different sectors of Dubai including property. As well as the countless sky rises, hotel resorts, shopping malls, Dubai has had to ensure it maintains its culture and identity whilst never failing to amaze the world with every new development.

With constant expectation of the property sector, to each time surpass the last achievement, it can be very easy to keep building bigger and better towers but forget to analyze whether it is the right time to bring new supply into the market. If you oversupply the market with units at a time when the demand is not as high, you run risk of putting units into a diluted market with less chance of getting sold.

At the beginning of the year developers were releasing developments at a very high rate. such as each week a new building would come into the market. One example of this was a major developer promising to bring 52 new buildings into the market in 2014. In the current market this would have been detrimental to demand for both new and existing developments. We would possibly have seen a major adjustment in prices and therefore units would have remained unsold.

Fortunately developers have been adapting to the market conditions and adjusted to ensure that price and inventory increase at a healthy rate. The market is always open to versatile qualitative developers with a more complete community view to their development plans.  An example of this is Meraas’s “The Beach” development in JBR and “City Walk” which holds promise of new caliber of developments.

 The government is finalizing plans for more environmentally friendly options such as solar panels on residential building, which could feed power back into the grid. Demand is shifting to a different type of property. Therefore developers who are one step ahead are moving ahead of the market by releasing sustainable projects such as Diamond Developer’s “Sustainable City.”

With Cityscape just around the corner it is looking very promising for the general outlook of Dubai’s Property market. New developments will be showcased and to some extent redefine Dubai’s identity and solidify its position as a world hub and gateway to everywhere. We are confident the demand in Dubai will grow at a steady rate while at the same time entertaining the world with its astonishing diversity and life enhancing city planning.

Our duty is to enlighten a misled market

Upon closer look, buyers realize there are only a few genuine sellers’ listings

Why are properties so expensive to buy? Why can’t I sell my property for more? These are the two most common questions agents are being asked at the moment. These, then,beg the question of what is a good representation of the market? To get an understanding of what is actually happening in the market agents need to first question themselves.

Looking at property listing in today’s various property portals, most people can safely assume that,firstly, there are plenty of properties available for buyers, and secondly,that sellers are asking for a lot more than in previous months, which is, of course, quite understandable with the current positive market sentiment.

However, looking more deeply than just covering the mere surface – simply by taking an extra step and finding out how many of these properties are actually available, you come to the stark realization that actually, there is a very limited number of genuine sellers with listings in the market.

The reason for this is that many of the real estate agents in Dubai don’t regularly check with their sellers if their properties are still available. At the same time, property listings are not regularly updated, and agents list properties that are clearly above the market rates.

Sellers that look to the market to get an understanding of how much their property should be marketed come across countless properties listed above current market averages.

Unbeknownst to them, these properties have been listed by inexperienced agents, or agents who are simply playing a numbers game to get more listings at any cost, even if this means creating a false market. The same properties would have also been listed for long periods of time, and are unlikely to sell until the market changes. Without this vital knowledge, seller’s expectations are increasingly moving upwards. On the other hand, you have average buyers who are actively searching to buy a property for their own use or maybe as an investment, but they are, on average, seeing the same property on various portals listed with vague and mostly incorrect descriptions with a wide price range. Aside from these two aspects of listings, there are also many properties that are no longer available and have been sold, in some occasions more than two or even three months before.

Combine these two aspects of day-to-day dealings of agents and you get a very bad formula for buyers’ and sellers’ expectations with an increasing divide between the two.Again, all agents should be looking to themselves for an explanation as they are one of the biggest reasons (as illustrated earlier) why this is happening.Agencies complain the market is moving too quickly, and that there are no genuine sellers at the moment. It is the responsibility of qualified agents to educate sellers (and buyers) on current market rates with evidence of comparable properties. Everybody wants the market to move upward, but at a steady pace with sound advice.

If we, as agents, take greater care in qualifying owners realistically while also educating them as to what is a realistic market rate, we will greatly improve the market and eradicate the challenges we are all facing as agents, sellers, landlords, buyers and tenants. By removing properties that are no longer available from listings, we also eliminate the doubts in buyers minds as there would be no opportunity for them to wonder about properties that are no longer available.

As real estate agents, we should do more to assist in the development of the Dubai property market because we all know that in the end, we will definitely profit from it.

The only way is up with a good marketing plan

With such an amazing end to the year 2013, culminating in Dubai hosting a number of highly impressive fireworks displays on New Year’s Eve, the emirate winning the Expo 2020 bid already put it firmly on the map, and with it will come a massive influx of both people and investments in the region which will then boost all verticals, not the least of which is the real estate market.

With property prices being based on supply and demand, the market will now realign with current economic growth as many more developers are moving into the area and, as a result, many more projects are being commenced. The new rent decree now in place capping all rent increases is meant to further realign the market; consumer confidence will be gradually restored, and spending  within Dubai will increase which, again, is favorable for the real estate market as a rise in investments within the sector is also expected. Tenants will now be able to budget in advance for their rents without the worry of rents rising to potentially dizzying heights, eliminating any unpleasant surprises, and, in turn, helping stabilize their cost of living.

Winning the Expo 2020 bid has brought with it much media attention now focused on the region, and a more elevated degree of hype, with some greedy sellers attempting to cash in on this, raising  their property prices to unrealistic levels, which naturally causes disruption in the marketplace making it look unstable.

These types of sellers reject good offers on their properties in favor of holding out until the market reaches their level of expectations, which could take months, slows the sales process down massively and falsely increases demand. It is a good thing that most sellers genuinely want to sell their properties as quickly and painlessly as possible. As a rule, sellers are advised to only list their property with a maximum of three different brokerage firms; however, many owners choose to list their property with multiple agents which then saturates the market. The property price will most probably differ between agents whom the buyers will see, causing them to become very cautious, creating understandable concern and putting real estate agents in a bad light.

As real estate brokers, we are often asked about the benefits of sellers entering into an exclusive agreement with a brokerage firm. Establishments like ours offer bespoke exclusive arrangements  which center around the individual client’s specific requirements and preferences.  The advantages of dealing with just one agent are numerous; however, the primary angle is forming a mutually beneficial business partnership, building rapport and, as a result, having complete understanding of a client’s needs. Clients will not be disturbed throughout the day with many agents cold calling them, and can arrange a convenient time to speak with their exclusive broker to get updates. Only one agent whom they trust will have access to their property as opposed to people  whom they don’t really know, which gives the client peace of mind, security and, most importantly, quality of service. There is no risk of duplicate viewings as each potential buyer will be properly qualified prior to the viewing which will avoid wasting time. The exclusive agent will know the property in detail and be able to advise potential buyers, which builds their confidence and aids buying criteria. With the right marketing campaign and photography, the property can be more aggressively featured and will be more visible to the required target market, so by the law of averages should sell in a shorter span of time.
