When it’s time to sell your property, being informed and well-prepared makes all the difference. Whether you're relocating, upgrading, or cashing in on your investment, understanding the process ahead helps ensure a smooth and successful sale.
Your Roadmap to a Hassle-Free Sale
From setting the right price to closing the deal, every step matters. With the right knowledge and expert support, selling your home in Dubai doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what you need to know:
Step 1: Know the Sales Process
If it’s your first time selling, you may wonder how long it will take. Timing depends on several factors like buyer financing, pricing strategy, and how quickly documents are exchanged.
-
Financed transactions usually take around 6–8 weeks.
-
Cash buyers and sellers can expect a shorter timeline, often between 1–4 weeks.
At Matika, we tailor our approach to help you sell efficiently and with confidence, keeping you informed at every stage.
Step 2: Pricing Your Property Right
Overpricing can discourage interest, while underpricing may undervalue your asset. The best strategy? Let market data guide you.
Our experienced team will assess your property based on real-time market trends and offer you a pricing strategy that attracts serious buyers while reflecting your property’s value.

Step 3: Partner with the Right Agent
Choosing a trusted real estate partner is key to a smooth transaction. A dedicated agent will not only guide you through paperwork and negotiations, but also serve as the link between you and potential buyers.

Step 4: Prepare Your Property
First impressions count. Ensure your property is clean, well-lit, and presentable for viewings. Small improvements can make a big impact on buyer perception — and on your final selling price.
Step 5: Understand the Paperwork
To complete a property sale in Dubai, you'll typically need:
-
A valid Title Deed
-
Emirates ID
-
Passport copy
-
No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer
-
Clearance of service charges
Our team will walk you through all the required documents and coordinate with all relevant parties.
