After handover

01Who we are

One team, from the first viewing to the fifth year

Most brokerages disappear at handover. We are the ones you still call when the tenant changes, when the service charge looks wrong, and when it is time to sell. Buying, renting out, selling and managing sit under one roof here, so your property is never handed to a stranger.

Build a career, not just a commission

We are looking for agents who want a career in Dubai property rather than a season of it. You get training, mentoring and a marketing team behind you: professional shoots, portal syndication, paid campaigns and a content plan that builds your name online, not only the listing. Admin and compliance are handled around you, so your time goes on clients.

03The portfolio

Completed homes, ready to walk through

Exclusive listings and high-end homes across Dubai: family villas in the established communities, premium apartments with a view worth paying for, and luxury houses at the top of the market. Grouped by how you want to live rather than left to a blank search box, and every one inspected in person.

Your property deserves a buyer, not a listing

Homes rarely sit unsold because of the asking price. They sit because nobody put them in front of the right person. We take yours to an international audience already looking at Dubai, run the viewings, carry the paperwork and keep you posted at every stage, so the next call you take is an offer.

Why Dubai

The questions we get asked every week

Long before anyone looks at a floor plan, these are the four things people want settled. The answers are the same whether you are buying one apartment or ten.

Do I need to live in the UAE to own?

No. Freehold ownership carries no residency requirement, and plenty of our owners are here twice a year. A Golden Visa is available at the AED 2M mark if you want one. It is an option, not a condition of buying.

Can I rent it out while I am abroad?

Yes, and we run it for you: finding and vetting the tenant, Ejari registration, renewals, maintenance and the rent into your account. You approve who moves in; we handle the rest of it.

What if I want to sell in three years?

You can, to anyone, whenever you choose. There is no minimum holding period and no exit permission to apply for. If there is a mortgage on the property it is settled as part of the transfer.

How much of this needs me in Dubai?

Less than most people expect. Viewings can be done on video, and much of the paperwork can run through a power of attorney, though we will tell you plainly when a trip is worth making.

Something we have not covered here? Ask, and you will get a straight answer rather than a brochure.

The process

What happens after you instruct us

Every instruction runs the same four stages, whether it is a first purchase, a sale or a property handed to us to run. The same senior consultant is accountable to you through all of them.

01

We establish what you are trying to achieve

Before anything is shown to you, we set out what your budget buys in each community you are considering and what it does not. Where the project you arrived asking for is the wrong one for you, we say so and set out what we would recommend instead.

02

The full cost goes in writing before you commit

Transfer fee, trustee, agency commission and the service charge on the specific property, totalled for your case rather than quoted as a market average. The calculators on every listing run on published Land Department rates, so the figure you see is the figure at completion.

03

One consultant negotiates and registers it

The senior consultant who advised you on price is the one who negotiates on your behalf and takes the transaction through to the registration appointment. You are not handed to a processing team once an offer is accepted.

04

The same person handles it afterwards

Placing a tenant, running the property, renewals and an eventual sale are handled in-house by the consultant who acted for you. The majority of our instructions come from clients we have already acted for, or from people they introduced.

New Dubai homes under development, the Downtown skyline behind them

Off-plan, secured at launch and paid across the build

We place clients into new developments before completion, at launch pricing, on a payment schedule that runs with the construction rather than landing in one lump at handover.

We look across developers instead of selling you one, and we will say so when a finished home down the road is the better buy.

Developers we deal withNamed because we transact with them, not because they endorse us.

The team

Consultants who specialise by community

Each consultant works a defined set of Dubai communities rather than the whole city, so the person showing you a property knows the buildings in it, what the service charges actually run to and what a fair price looks like there right now. That same person answers your questions and negotiates for you, start to finish.

Client experience

Judge us on what clients say afterwards

The measure of a brokerage is not the sale. It is whether the same client calls again, and whether they say so in public, where it cannot be edited.

I recently purchased two studios in Rukan and approached Hugo from House of Orange to handle the rental and full management, as we are not based in Dubai. House of Orange quickly secured a reliable, long-term tenant and has been managing both properties flawlessly ever since.

Fantastic collaboration with Hugo. Bought several properties through him in Dubai. Transparency, expertise, and speed are his top priorities!

Hugo guided me from start to finish in finding the perfect investment. He was genuinely helpful and always available for questions. I will definitely choose the same real estate agency again and recommend them to anyone looking for a good real estate investment in Dubai.

Hugo is a very honest person. I asked him many questions for weeks before I bought some properties. Everything felt good with him, and I also checked things myself.

Speak to a consultant

Tell us what you are looking for

Send us the budget and what it is for. We will come back with what fits and what does not, whether you are buying, selling, renting out or still deciding which of those it should be.

What you get back

A shortlist, not a dump
Properties that answer the brief, each with the reason it is on the list and the thing that is wrong with it.
The full cost, before you commit
The 4% Land Department transfer fee, the agency fee and the service charge from handover, set against the headline price.
Off-market where it helps
If nothing listed fits, we ask owners we already act for. That is not always possible, and we will tell you when it is not.
A straight no
When now is not the time, or the property is wrong, we say so. We would rather be the firm you call next year.
