Seller FAQs

So, you are ready to sell your property? Have you paid off your mortgage? Is the price you have set realistic? Will prospective buyers be able to make it to the viewing timings you have allotted? There is a lot to think about when you are selling your property. Use our FAQ to ensure you are prepared for your upcoming sale.

1. Can I sell my island property from Dubai?

Yes, at RE/MAX Island, we will assist you with conducting a property appraisal by a local market expert thanks to the global RE/MAX Collection network of offices. We will ensure it's a face-to-face meeting at your home so they can see any unique features, assess current market conditions and look at recent and comparable sales in the same area.

2. Should the listing be exclusive?

Listing your property with one RE/MAX agent comes with a number of benefits. It gives the broker some security over the listing, making them more likely to invest extra time and marketing know-how to attract buyers. It’s also easier to deal with one, as opposed to multiple brokers. And you will also benefit from world class exposure through the RE/MAX network as opposed to building over-exposure when dealing with multiple agents that will profile your listing as a desperate sales measure thus attracting lower offers.

3. Why select RE/MAX Island as a brokerage?

When you choose a brokerage with a strong local and international presence and wider market appeal such as RE/MAX Collection, you are sure that your property is marketed to all potential buyers.

4. What makes a listing attractive at RE/MAX Island?

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Your REMAX broker will advice you on steps to be taken to make your property look its best for the photoshoot and for viewings. Decluttering and a fresh lick of paint are very effective ways to make a property more appealing to buyers and don’t forget the garden and front of the property to maximise the curb appeal.

5. Do I need to get an NOC?

While most fees fall on the buyer, sellers can expect to pay a small fee for a No Objection Certificate (NOC), which is needed in order to sell the property and up to 2% to their broker.

6. How do I “Unblock” the property?

Sellers who have a mortgage on their property will need to go through 'blocking' and obtain a liability letter from their bank (costs and fees apply-buyer or seller settles in full).

7. Should I hire a conveyancer?

Once you finalized the deal engaging the services of a professional conveyancing company is recommended to ensure the sales process goes smoothly especially if your property is based abroad so that you are perfectly represented.
