Dmitrii OrlovProperty consultant, FOR YOU Real Estate
Hello, I am Dmitrii
I have worked in real estate for over six years. In St Petersburg I went from agent to running a sales team of 35 to 60 people, then headed sales at a developer-side company. Since 2026 I work in Dubai at FOR YOU Real Estate, where I run off-plan, resale and international partners.
What I bring to a client is simple: I check every price against registered deals, I say so when a unit is not worth it, and I stay on the deal until the keys and the first tenant.

Questions clients ask
Can a foreigner buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Foreigners can buy freehold property in designated areas such as Dubai Marina, Downtown, Business Bay, JVC, Palm Jumeirah and many more. You do not need residency or a local company, and the title deed is issued in your name.
Do I have to come to Dubai to buy?
No. Off-plan can be bought fully remotely: booking and KYC online, the SPA signed electronically, payments by bank transfer to the project escrow account. For resale you can sign through a power of attorney.
How much does buying cost on top of the price?
For resale, about 6 to 7% with a 2% agency fee: 4% DLD fee, trustee and admin fees, plus mortgage fees if you borrow. For off-plan, mostly the 4% DLD fee, because the developer pays the agency.
Who pays your fee?
On off-plan the developer pays the agency, so you pay nothing extra. On resale the market standard is 2% plus VAT from the buyer. When you sell, the fee is agreed in Form A before we start.
Is my money safe with off-plan?
Off-plan payments go to a project escrow account controlled under Law No. 8 of 2007 and are released to the developer only as construction progresses. Every sale is registered with the Dubai Land Department.
How do I know you are licensed?
Deals are done through FOR YOU Real Estate L.L.C, trade licence 1230242, RERA ORN 37533. You can check the company in the Dubai REST app.
