For agents

Working as an agent in Dubai

What a brokerage owes you, what the job pays once the costs come out, and what to do when an agency withholds a visa or a commission. Most of this is discussed anonymously in forums because no brokerage will put its name to it.

We are a brokerage, and we recruit. So read these pages the way they tell you to read any agency: check what is sourced, and ask us the same questions.

The questions in this section get asked anonymously on Reddit because there is nowhere else to ask them. They deserve a better answer than a thread, and answering them honestly costs us nothing we should want to keep.

Everyone publishes the ceiling. Almost nobody publishes the floor, the timing, or the costs that come out of the number before it reaches you. Those three are what decide whether a split is good.

This ground is well covered and we are not pretending otherwise. It is here so the section is complete, and because most of what is published about it omits the costs.
