Before the meeting: gather community context
Start with the community — not the unit. Pull median DLD price per sqft, 12-month transaction volume, and year-over-year change for the seller's area. This frames whether the market is rising, stable, or correcting.
PropStat area market reports provide this snapshot for top Dubai communities, with links to full property reports for the specific building.
During the meeting: fair price beats opinion
Sellers remember comparables. Show three to five recent DLD-registered sales for similar unit types in the same project or adjacent buildings. Anchor your recommended listing range to median evidence, not intuition.
PropStat fair price analysis automates comparable selection and presents a client-friendly summary you can share as a branded online report.
After the meeting: follow up with substance
Send a branded online report within the hour while you are top of mind. Include market trends, fair price context, and your agency branding. Avoid generic market commentary — sellers can get that from a Google search.
Agents using PropStat report that data-backed follow-ups shorten the decision cycle because sellers feel informed, not sold to.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not mix portal asking prices with DLD closed sales in the same chart — it undermines credibility. Do not use city-wide averages when the community diverges (Dubai is increasingly two markets: premium waterfront and mid-market volume hubs).
Always cite DLD as the source. It signals professionalism and aligns with RERA expectations for data-backed marketing.
