A realistic rent based on current listings and recent contracts in your building.
Marketing and viewings
Photos, portal listings and accompanied viewings, so you do not need to be in Dubai.
Tenant checks
We check tenant documents and payment terms before you agree.

Every tenancy contract is registered on Ejari, the official system that makes the lease legally recognised.
