Who are you as a property buyer?

Start with the assessment. Your answers help us understand why you are buying property in Dubai and how you make decisions. This page explains the 6 Buyer Types, the 5 Buying Factors, and how both come together to shape your Buyer File.

Framework

Who you are as a buyer

Your Buyer File is a simple summary of why you are buying, how you choose, and which options may fit. We build it from your answers across 6 Buyer Types and 5 Buying Factors, because most buyers are a mix, not one fixed type.
