Frequently asked questions

What is the biggest mistake buyers make in Palm Jumeirah?

Paying a prime per-sqft price for a compromised view or a tower with an above-average service charge.

Should I use an agent?

Use a RERA-registered brokerage — the 2% fee usually pays for itself in negotiation and diligence.
