We live in Dubai and choose property for ourselves too. So we review districts and developers honestly and show how the market works from the inside. Our clients share their own reviews here, and those matter to us most.

Mint analysis
Numbers first, advice second
Before we suggest a property, we study its market: prices paid, rents, new supply and the real cost of ownership, from DLD transactions and developer data. Here's how that works in three areas.
Jumeirah Garden City: homes sold and median price per sq ft
2024 to 2026, US dollars
Dubai Hills: strongest price gains by project in 2026
Change in median price per sq ft, first half of 2026
Dubai Islands vs Palm Jumeirah: average apartment price
US dollars, December 2025

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us first
What services does Mint Real Estate provide in Dubai?
Mint Elite Real Estate is a licensed real estate company in Dubai. We offer brokerage, property analysis, investment advice and transaction support for ready and off-plan property. After the purchase, we help with letting or reselling.
How does Mint select properties for clients?
We start with your goal, budget and timeline. About 20% of the matching options pass our checks. Those are compared on total cost, expected rent, developer record, new supply nearby and resale history.
Does Mint work with both ready and off-plan properties in Dubai?
Yes. A ready property earns rent or gives you a home from day one. Off-plan usually costs less to enter and spreads payments over construction, but you wait for handover. A shortlist often includes one of each.
How does Mint assess the risks of a property investment?
We check the developer's delivery record, new supply coming to the area and how comparable units have resold. We add up the full cost of holding the property. Each risk is weighed against the conditions under which the property still makes sense.
Does Mint work with international buyers?
Yes, many of our clients buy from abroad. Foreign nationals can own property outright in Dubai's freehold areas. Most of the process works remotely, with a power of attorney for the final transfer if needed.
Is it cheaper to buy directly from the developer?
Usually not. On off-plan projects, the price is normally the same whether you buy direct or through a real estate agency. Our help is free for you, and you see how the project compares with others before you commit.
