How it works

How selling your Dubai property for cash works

Selling to Cash Offer Estates takes four steps: you submit your property details, we call you to confirm them, our investors price the property, and you receive a cash offer within 24 hours. There are no listings, no viewings, no agent commission, and no waiting on a buyer's mortgage approval. You are never obliged to accept the offer.

Step 1

Submission of property

Fill out our short form: location, property type, size, condition and your timeline to sell. It takes about 3 minutes and there's no cost or commitment to submit.

You'll be asked whether the property is ready or off-plan. For off-plan units we also ask for the developer, the expected completion month and year, and the original price you paid — those details replace the condition questions, since an unbuilt unit has no condition to assess.

What we ask for

Area and building, property type and size, condition, and how you'd like us to reach you. The more accurate the details, the more accurate your offer.

Why we call

A quick call lets us confirm the details, answer your questions, and make sure nothing gets missed before your property is priced.

Step 2

Initial call

A member of our team calls you shortly after your submission to walk through the details and answer any questions you have.

This is also where anything unusual about the sale gets raised early — an existing mortgage, a tenant in place, a co-owner who needs to agree, or an inherited property still being transferred. Knowing about these up front means the offer we send reflects your actual situation rather than being revised later.

Step 3

Review & pricing

Our team reviews your submission and our pool of investors prices your property based on recent market activity in your area.

Every offer is priced by a person, not generated by an automated valuation tool. We look at what comparable units in your building or community have actually sold for recently, not just what they're advertised at, then account for the specifics you've told us about — floor, view, layout, condition, and whether the unit is tenanted or vacant.

What we look at

Recent sales and asking prices for comparable units in your building or community, plus the condition and details you've provided.

Your options

Accept the offer, counter it if you'd like to negotiate, or walk away — there's never any pressure or obligation.

Step 4

Cash offer sent

We contact you by your preferred method — phone, WhatsApp or email — with a clear cash offer and an explanation of how we arrived at it, all within 24 hours.

The offer states the amount and how long it stays valid. If you accept, we move to the transfer process at a Dubai Land Department trustee office. If you'd rather think about it, nothing happens — we don't chase, and there's no cost either way.

How long does the whole process take?

You receive your offer within 24 hours of submitting your details. How quickly the sale itself completes after that depends on your situation — mainly whether there's an existing mortgage to settle and how fast the developer issues the No Objection Certificate (NOC) required before a Dubai property can transfer. A straightforward, mortgage-free, vacant property is the fastest case; a mortgaged or tenanted one takes longer. Your team contact will give you a realistic timeline for your specific property on the initial call rather than a generic promise.

What does it cost to sell this way?

Nothing is charged by us. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, no valuation fee and no charge for receiving an offer — including if you decline it. The standard Dubai Land Department transfer and registration fees that apply to any property sale in Dubai still apply here, and your team contact will confirm exactly which costs fall to you before you commit to anything.

Can I sell if my property still has a mortgage?

Yes. Selling a mortgaged property in Dubai is routine — the outstanding loan is settled out of the sale proceeds as part of the transfer, and the bank releases its claim on the title before it moves to the new owner. Tell us on the form that there's a mortgage on the property so it's accounted for from the start.

Do I need to repair or renovate before selling?

No. We buy properties in any condition, from move-in ready to units that need significant work. You do not need to repaint, repair, deep-clean or stage the property, and there are no viewings to prepare for. Condition is one of the inputs we price on, so a property needing work will be offered less than an equivalent one in good order — but it will still be offered on.

What's the catch with a cash offer?

The trade-off is price. A cash offer is normally below what the same property would eventually achieve on the open market, because you're exchanging some value for speed, certainty and the removal of any risk that a buyer's financing collapses. We'd rather state that plainly than have it come as a surprise. If achieving the highest possible number matters more to you than time, listing on the open market is the better route — and we'll say so if that's what your situation calls for.
