How to become a area specialist

Step 1

'Know your community'

Go to the real estate map website 'https://wikimapia.org/' this is one of the best websites for Dubai brokers, you will find all the building names on it.

Go to the Master developer's website to find out the facilities and amenities about the master community, Master developer mean the Main developer of the entire community, eg: Emaar is the master developer for Downtown, Marina, Arabian ranches. Nakheel is a Master  Developer of Palm Jumeirah, JVT, JVC, etc

Check if there are hospitals, schools, Hypermarket, golf clubs, sports activities, etc in the communities, if yes find out more details such as school curriculum and fees, mall timing, golf membership details, etc


Step 2

'Know the sub-communities

Find out the sub-communities within the master community, eg: in Palm Jumeirah, there are 'shoreline apartment' 'golden mile' Frond Villas, Canal cove villa, crescent, etc, some of the sub-communities has their own website, do the same search like what you did with the master community. 

Step 3

'Know your properties'

For most of the real estate communities in Dubai, their type of floor plans are well-known in the market, it is very important for you to memorize them, this is one of the key point to prove that you are the area specialist, for example, Marina residence on Palm Jumeirah, type A and B means 3BR, Type C and D means 2BR, each type has same layout and size, once the owner tells you the apartment type, as area specialist you shall know how many bedroom and the net sqft of the apartment or villa. 

Not all the buildings provide well-known types, these well-known types are normally in massive projects, for the project has no market well-known type then you should find the details by the title deed or owner reference. 


ATTENTION: PRICE 

Once you memorize the well-known types of buildings, then the most important part is finding out the market price for rent and sale, the best way is to go through all the major portals, find existing similar properties, and get the average price, for example, Dubizzle, property finder, Bayut. Also, you could log-in to the property finder admin portal (provided by company admin), there is a panel for you to check the latest traction price from the Dubai land department or you may create/login account in dxbinteract.com for the closing price (sale/rent). 

Note: Property finder admin site will only provide the sales actual price, for rentals you can check on the portals. there is a difference between the listing price and the closing price, normally listing price will be 5% higher than the actual closing price, as an agent always remember that try to get the best price from the owner without him feels offended by undervaluing his properties will help you to rent or sale the property faster.

Now you are the specialist of this community, you can negotiate with all the landlords and owners in the community with confidence, and you will master the tenant and buyer with your knowledge inshallah!
