About Robert

Founder & CEO · RERA-registered broker, BRN 100640

Robert is a real estate professional at Shaw Luxury Real Estate, specialising in helping international clients explore property opportunities in Dubai. Before entering the Dubai real estate market, he gained hands-on experience in the UK serviced accommodation sector, where he was involved in preparing properties for guests and overseeing day-to-day operations.

This practical background gives Robert a clear understanding of property ownership beyond the initial purchase, including rental potential, operating costs, tenant expectations, and the factors that contribute to long-term property performance.

Robert is committed to providing international buyers with clear, honest, and practical guidance, helping them make informed property decisions with confidence. His approach focuses on transparency, realistic expectations, and understanding how a property may perform after the purchase, not simply how it appears at launch.

Project guidance

Prices, payment plans, service charges and handover dates set out side by side, confirmed with the developer before you see them.

Viewings in person or by video, negotiation, mortgage introductions, DLD registration and handover, handled by one team.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask us most.

Yes. Non-UAE nationals can buy freehold property, with full ownership, in Dubai's designated freehold areas. These include communities such as Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Hills Estate.

Off-plan property is bought from the developer before or during construction, usually on a staged payment plan, and you receive it at handover. Ready property is complete and can be occupied or rented immediately after transfer. Off-plan can offer lower entry prices and flexible plans; ready property offers certainty and immediate use.

You pay a booking amount, then instalments linked to construction progress or dates, and the balance at or after handover. A '30/70' plan means 30% is paid before handover and 70% on completion. The exact schedule is set out in the developer's Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Plan for the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, title deed and admin fees, trustee office fees for resales, mortgage registration (0.25% of the loan) if financing, and any agency fee. We give you a written cost estimate before you reserve.

Book a free consultation by phone, WhatsApp or the forms on this site. We talk through your budget, goals and timeline, then send you a shortlist with prices, payment plans and availability confirmed with the developers.

Yes. Many of our clients buy remotely, with video viewings, digital signing and, where needed, a power of attorney. Non-residents can also obtain mortgages from some UAE banks, usually with a larger down payment.
