What did the client ask for?
Lukas wanted to set up a company buying and selling real estate in Dubai.
He arrived holding a cheaper quote from another agency and asked us to bring our price down to meet it.
Why was the cheaper quote not comparable?
The problem with the cheaper quote
A single lower number says nothing about which government fees it covers or when they fall due. Compared like for like, the two quotes were not describing the same work.
So the answer was not a discount. It was making the cost visible: what each fee is, when it is paid, and proof that it reached the government rather than us.
How did DMCS help him get licensed and RERA approved?
Went through the pricing at consultation
At consultationWe took him through the fees line by line so he could see what his cheaper quote did and did not include.
Arranged payment in stages
Across the fileRather than one sum up front, he paid step by step as the file progressed.
Reserved the trade name at DET
The first filing step of the mainland setup.
Signed the MOA at DET
Lukas and his shareholder attended DET with our staff to sign the memorandum of association.
Submitted the lease and took the licence
The lease agreement was submitted and the trade licence issued.
Obtained RERA approval
Real estate activity needs approval from RERA after the licence is issued. Our operations team handled it, and that external approval is why this file ran to twelve days rather than ten.
What did the client get?
Licence issued and RERA approval obtained
- Ten to twelve working days end to end
- Paid in stages rather than up front
- Every government receipt handed over as it was issued
- Client satisfied with the transparency of the process
