How to Choose the Right Dubai Real Estate Broker for Your Investment

Hi, Are you thinking “How to Choose the Best Dubai Real Estate Broker” for you real estate property? Don’t worry in Season 5 of the Dubai Connect Podcast™ we launch our new episode on Dubai Real Estate Broker, we’re flipping the script. This time, Tariq Jarrar, Executive Director of DevMark, put me in the hot seat to answer an important question:

What sets me apart from the 25,000+ real estate brokers in Dubai?

If you’re a global investor, choosing the right real estate broker in Dubai is crucial to maximizing your investment and avoiding costly mistakes. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a broker.

01 | Ensure They Are a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS®)

A Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS®) is trained in handling global transactions, international regulations, and cross-border investments. This certification means your broker understands:

✅ Foreign investment laws and best practices
✅ Currency exchange and international financing
✅ Investment strategies tailored to global buyers

As a CIPS®-designated broker, I specialize in helping investors from the United States, Canada, the UK, and beyond navigate Dubai’s real estate market.

02 | Make Sure They Are a Licensed REALTOR®

If you’re investing from the United States, working with a licensed REALTOR® ensures your broker understands the mindset and expectations of American buyers.

I am a licensed California REALTOR® (DRE# 01487964), so I bridge the gap between U.S. investors and Dubai’s real estate opportunities. I also help investors understand how Dubai’s tax advantages compare to the U.S. real estate market.

03 | Work with a Broker Who Is RERA Certified or Has a RERA-Certified Partner

Dubai’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) ensures brokers operate with transparency and professionalism. Always choose a broker who is RERA certified or works with a highly experienced RERA-certified partner in Dubai.

At GG Benitez International, my partner is RERA-certified with over 20 years of experience. He has guided investors through Dubai’s market cycles, understanding which areas hold the most potential for capital appreciation.

04 | Choose a Broker Immersed in Dubai Real Estate & Culture

A broker who understands both your culture and Dubai’s investment landscape is key. As a first-generation Arab American, I provide a unique perspective for global investors. I understand the nuances of both Western investment mindsets and Dubai’s business environment.

05 | Check Their Track Record & Online Presence

Before choosing a broker, do your research:

🔎 Read their Google reviews – What do past clients say?
🔎 Search their LinkedIn profile – Are they well-connected?
🔎 Visit their website – Do they have valuable insights?
🔎 Check if they have a podcast – Are they an industry thought leader?

At GG Benitez International, we’ve built a reputation for guiding investors every step of the way—before, during, and after their purchase.

06 | Make Sure They Offer Full-Service Investor Support

Your broker should do more than just sell you a property. They should help you build and manage your real estate portfolio with services like:

✅ Post-sale support – Ensuring you receive your Oqood document and title deed.
✅ Golden Visa assistance – Helping you qualify for residency.
✅ Financial concierge services – Opening a bank account if needed.
✅ Property management – Connecting you with trusted property managers.
✅ Tax & legal advisory – Introducing you to international tax attorneys and accountants to minimize your tax burden.
✅ Exit strategy planning – Timing your sale for maximum ROI.

At GG Benitez International, we provide all of these services—not just selling properties, but ensuring your long-term investment success.
