    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.
