Who says buying property is a maze? We turned it into a map with data and heart. Founded in 2010, Alzaeem grew from a single Dubai Marina office to a 30‑person team across three emirates. We keep the founder’s original spark—personal touch—while scaling with the.
We live by three pillars: transparency, agility, and empathy. Transparency means no hidden fees—every percentage is shown upfront. Agility lets us pivot when market data shifts, like the sudden rise in 3‑bedroom demand in Business Bay. Empathy keeps us listening; we asked investors why they hesitate and built a bilingual desk speaking Tagalog, Hindi, and Arabic.
Our dashboard runs 24/7, pulling live MLS feeds, price trends, and neighborhood sentiment from social media. In 2023 we closed 210+ deals, a 15% jump over 2022, and hit 98% satisfaction in our annual survey. These numbers aren’t bragging; they are proof that data + people win.
We have 12 native speakers across five languages, ensuring every client feels heard. Our stack? A cloud‑based CRM, AI‑powered property matching, and a custom valuation engine that updates in real time. The result? A 30% faster closing time compared to the industry average.
Last month we helped a first‑time buyer from India secure a 2‑bedroom condo in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Using our AI match, we narrowed options to three listings in 12 hours. The buyer signed in 48 hours, and the sale closed in 10 days—half the typical 20‑day cycle.
For a Sharjah retailer, we identified a 5,000‑sq‑ft retail space in Al Noor with a 12% lower rent than competitors. Negotiating a 3‑year lease, we secured a 10% rent‑review clause, saving the client over AED 200,000 annually. That’s the kind of win we aim for.

Fee Structures & Service Offerings: What You Pay and What You Get
Choosing the right broker feels like picking a compass in a desert.
We’ve mapped the top UAE property brokers, but the real navigation starts with understanding what you pay and what you get.
Ever wonder why some firms charge more for the same sale? The answer lies in the layers of service and the value they bring.
Let’s unpack the numbers and the stories behind them.
Fees are not a one‑size‑fits‑all formula.
Sales commission, leasing commission, and consulting fees shift with property type, transaction size, and negotiated rates.
Think of it as a recipe: the base ingredients are the broker’s expertise and network, but the spices—market insights, tech tools, multilingual support—add depth and flavor.
Beyond the headline numbers, brokers bundle extra layers:
property management keeps tenants happy and maintenance smooth;
valuation services provide data‑driven price tags;
tech integration offers virtual tours, AI analytics, and digital contract workflows.
These layers can shave off days from a deal or add a premium that justifies the higher fee.

Alzaeem Real Estate: Choosing the Right Broker
Picking the right broker is a bit like finding a compass in a desert. We’ve watched buyers wander off course when their guide isn’t reliable. A solid broker keeps the road clear and shows every turn. That’s why we’ve put together this step‑by‑step checklist. Ready to steer your investment in the right direction?
Step one: Verify licensing
In the UAE, every broker must hold a valid Real Estate Regulatory Agency license. Ask for the license number and double‑check it on the RERA portal. A missing or expired license is a red flag that could cost you money and headaches.
Step two: Fee transparency
A trustworthy broker discloses every cost up front. Look for a clear breakdown: sales commission, leasing commission, marketing fees, and any admin charges. Compare these percentages to the industry average—usually 2.0‑2.8% for sales in Dubai. If the broker hides a fee, they’re hiding something else.
Step three: Language support and market coverage
If you speak English, Arabic, or Tagalog, check that the broker’s team matches your language. Also, ask where they specialize—Downtown, JBR, or maybe the up‑and‑coming Al Noor. A broker who knows the neighborhoods you want saves you time and money.
Step four: Client references and case studies
Request at least three client reviews or case studies that match your investment profile. Ask how the broker handled negotiations, paperwork, and post‑sale support. A broker that can share a 15% commission win or a quick closing story proves they deliver results.
Step five: Ask the right questions
Turn each FAQ into an action prompt:
– “What is your average commission for properties like mine?”
– “Can you provide a written fee schedule?”
– “Do you have a bilingual team?”
– “How many similar deals have you closed in the last year?”
These questions cut through fluff.
Now compare at least three brokers side‑by‑side. Use a simple table: broker, license, fees, languages, coverage, client wins. Rank each column on a scale of 1‑5 based on your priorities. The broker that scores highest in your key areas is your best bet.
Grab a spreadsheet or a simple app and tick each item. Mark red for missing, yellow for pending, green for satisfied. Seeing the colors pop is like watching a sunrise—clarity emerges fast. This visual cue helps you spot weak spots before you sign.
Finally, align the broker’s strengths with your investment profile. If you’re a long‑term homeowner, look for a broker with deep residential expertise. If you chase high‑yield commercial deals, prioritize a broker that has a proven track record in that sector. Your broker should feel like a trusted partner, not a sales pitch. Start the comparison today and see the difference clearly.
