Frequently asked · Advisory scope

The direct answer, in writing.

What the practice is trying to do, what it does not promise and what still needs to be verified for a specific engagement.

The full set

Questions to settle before the property shortlist.

These answers describe the public operating approach. A signed engagement, regulator record and specialist advice govern the specific transaction.

Are you a broker?

The practice is presented as advisory: the buyer or investor brief and the property read come before any transaction. This page does not ask you to rely on a licence claim. Confirm Raj's current registration, the contracting party and any regulated transaction role directly before engaging.

What's your background before Dubai?

This site asks readers to judge the work by its evidence and method: define the objective, compare the relevant market, test masterplan and delivery questions, and write the case against. Dates, employers, education and membership records are deliberately not asserted in this FAQ; request the current supporting record from Raj's office when it matters.

What does an Investor Note actually look like?

The intended format is a written memo on one opportunity: thesis, masterplan stage, surrounding supply, comparable context, scenarios and a clear case against. Length should follow the decision rather than a page target. Treat a quantitative statement as verified only when the published note links the underlying source; otherwise it should remain qualitative or be omitted.

Which parts of the market do you cover?

The current public coverage centres on waterfront, island and master-community property across the UAE, with primary, ready and resale options compared where relevant. Coverage on the site is not a claim that every project, area or seller is represented. The appropriate market surface is confirmed against the brief.

Do you work with investors based outside the UAE?

The site is designed to be useful to buyers both inside and outside the UAE. Whether Raj can accept a particular cross-border instruction is determined during intake. Company structures, visas, remittance, tax and legal questions must be handled by appropriately qualified professionals and are not answered as advice by this site.

Why a consultant rather than a regular agent?

The distinction on this site is about sequence. The advisory model starts with the reader's objective, compares the available paths and makes room for the case against a property before discussing execution. That positioning does not itself establish independence or remove conflicts, so fees, agency relationships and incentives should be confirmed for the specific engagement.

Will you ever tell me not to buy?

The process is intended to leave room for "no", "not this one" or "not yet" when the evidence points there. That is an editorial principle, not a promise about the outcome of a future brief. The useful test is whether the case against is visible alongside the positive argument.

What should I verify before engaging?

Confirm Raj's current role, registration where relevant, the contracting party, scope, fees and any professional records you intend to rely on. The office will provide the current record directly; this FAQ does not turn an unverified biography into a trust claim.

What's the response time on WhatsApp?

No fixed response time is promised on this page. Messages are handled from Dubai as availability permits. For a time-sensitive request, put the deadline and the reason in the first line. The public WhatsApp number is +971 58 996 6085.

How selective is the practice?

Fit and capacity are assessed at intake; this page does not claim a numerical mandate cap. The intended work is a considered property read rather than a promise to accept every transaction. If the request needs a different specialist or a faster execution route, that should be made clear during the first conversation.
