Property Advisor · Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Real estate in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — assessed as investments, not sold as products.
I work with international investors to build and optimise property portfolios in the UAE. The starting point is capital goal, time horizon and exit — not the project that happens to be on the market.

Approach
From capital goal to a specific property.
A decision starts with the objective, not the project — capital, time horizon, income or personal use. The property follows from that, and its assessment weighs location, developer, payment plan, lettability and exit alongside price and expected growth.
What comes out of the first phase is a plan — not a property suggestion.
-
Phase 01
Defining the objective
Capital range, investment goal, time horizon, cash-flow requirement and exit are defined first. It ends with an honest assessment — including that neither Dubai nor Abu Dhabi fits what you have in mind.
-
Phase 02
Strategy
Goal and risk profile translate into a market, location and asset-class strategy.
-
Phase 03
Selection & due diligence
Projects, prices, developers, supply, costs, yield and exit are reviewed on a comparable basis.
-
Phase 04
Purchase & execution
Transaction, administration, handover and the relevant specialists are coordinated.
What I take care of along the way.
Portfolio & strategy
Clarifying goals, structuring the budget and spreading across locations, property types and completion dates — for investment as well as own use. Existing holdings too: hold, sell, reallocate or expand, regardless of who they were bought through.
Selection & due diligence
Shortlisting against your criteria, assessing developer, location and payment plan, and checking against actual transaction data rather than brochure promises.
Transaction & handover
Reservation, contract review, payments, registration and handover — coordinated in one place, remotely if need be. Letting and management are handled by selected partners; I remain your point of contact.
Fees and selection. On an off-plan purchase I am paid by the developer; on a resale purchase buyer and seller customarily each pay 2 %. Before you reserve anything, you know your costs. Selection follows the investment, not the commission. How this works →
Typical mandates
Different starting points. The same standard for the decision.
Not every mandate starts with a specific property. Often the first task is to place the capital goal, the market and the right strategy properly.
-
Mandate 01
First investment in the UAE
You want to invest capital in Dubai or Abu Dhabi for the first time and need a sound strategy for location, asset class, ticket size and time horizon.
-
Mandate 02
Portfolio diversification
An existing property or securities portfolio is to gain UAE exposure — with a clear role within the overall allocation.
-
Mandate 03
Reviewing a specific project
You already have a project, a developer or an offer on the table and want price, location, supply, payment plan, yield and exit assessed independently.
-
Mandate 04
Income / ready property
The focus is on ongoing cash flow, lettability and a robust ready investment rather than pure off-plan appreciation.
-
Mandate 05
Optimising an existing UAE portfolio
Existing assets are to be reviewed: hold, sell, refinance, re-let or add selectively.
-
Mandate 06
Own use with an investor’s eye
You want to live in the property yourself without losing sight of resale value, running costs and lettability.
Evidence
My personal track record.
Verifiable facts rather than claims: I closed every transaction below myself as a broker — these are not team or company figures. Each one is listed individually.

The market in figures.
Three official figures, each with its date and source. The full analysis is on the market page.

The figures describe the market, not the individual property. Whether a unit holds up only becomes clear from reviewing price, location, developer and exit.
Areas
Where in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
For the value of a property, location weighs more heavily than the floor plan. Each area comes with what defines it, who lives there — and which objectives it does not suit.

Investment cases I currently recommend.
A short and deliberately limited selection. Each with context on why it is on the list — and which objectives it does not suit.
Profile
Christian Pass
Co-Founder, Scaled Realty (Life Line Real Estate L.L.C.)
My career did not begin in real estate. It began in the police force, and then in running my own business. Both shape how I work today: examine things methodically, weigh them commercially, and own the decision.
I have worked in Dubai real estate since 2022 — first in leasing, then in sales. Those two sides together produce the view I bring: which layouts actually let, which locations tenants ask for, and how much of that survives a resale.
What I have closed since 2023 is listed further down — every transaction on its own line, rather than a figure you have to take on trust. It is my personal track record, not a team or company number.

Network
Everything around the purchase.
The purchase itself is the easier part — freehold is open to foreign buyers, residence permit or not. The work lies alongside it: banking, visas, succession, handover. That is what my partners are for.
