Real Estate & Investment Advisory

Strategy over sales commissions.

The UAE property market is one of the most liquid and tax-efficient in the world — and one of the most aggressively sold. Off-plan towers, Instagram-curated tours, "guaranteed yield" pitches, agents commissioned by both sides — the noise drowns out the analysis. We work strictly buy-side: developer due diligence, true-yield modelling, escrow and RERA-compliance review, mortgage and financing introductions, and Golden Visa structuring. Our incentives are aligned to your return.

Why TruWise

Built for this work — not bolted on as a side practice.

Buy-Side Only

We never receive developer commissions. Our analysis is built on open MLS data, escrow filings and our own community models — not a developer pitch deck.

True-Yield Discipline

Gross yields look great in a brochure. Net yield after service charges, vacancy, agency and tax is usually 200–400 bps lower — and is the only number that matters.

Golden Visa Structured

We structure the AED 2M route around your succession plan — not just a single property — so the visa survives a future portfolio rebalance.

Cross-Border Comfort

Multilingual practice with clients across GCC, Europe, CIS and Asia — remote conveyancing and AML clearance are everyday work.

Frequently Asked

Questions clients ask before the first conversation.

Yes — a single property worth AED 2M+ at purchase, fully paid (or with a recognised mortgage from a UAE bank) qualifies the principal for a 10-year Golden Visa, with dependant visas for spouse and children. We structure the purchase to ensure the visa survives a future remortgage or portfolio swap.
Dubai’s 2007 Escrow Law (no. 8/2007) and the RERA framework provide strong buyer protection — payments must go into a project-specific escrow controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with milestone-based releases tied to construction progress. Risk is real but quantifiable; we run a developer-track-record + escrow + financing review on every off-plan deal.
Yes — several UAE banks offer non-resident mortgages, typically up to 50% LTV at slightly higher rates than resident packages. We introduce you directly to the right bank for your nationality, salary structure and project; most clients have a decision in principle within 10 business days.
Headline yields range 5–9% gross depending on community, asset type and unit size. Service charges, agency fees, vacancy and Ejari/DLD costs typically take 1.5–3% off gross. We model the actual net yield for any property under consideration and benchmark it against alternatives in the same submarket.
Annual service charges, 5% DLD transfer fee at purchase (one-off), a small DLD trustee fee, optional Ejari registration, and (if let) management/agency fees of 5–8% of rent. We provide a full first-year cost schedule before exchange.
No — we are buy-side only. We never receive listing fees, marketing fees or developer kickbacks. Our entire compensation comes from the client, in cash, on a fixed-fee basis. That structural alignment is the product.
