In short

This course covers off-plan property sales in the UAE: market research, legal frameworks, negotiation and marketing. ThinkProp delivers it in 6 hours face to face.

Off-plan drives a huge share of every launch in the UAE, yet most agents sell it on instinct, pitching a floor plan they half understand and hoping the buyer says yes. The agent who understands the market, the contract and the buyer sells more units, faster, and keeps the client for the next launch. This course gives you that foundation, and the strategies to turn an off-plan project into a closed sale.

Research a market and read demand before you pitch
Navigate off-plan contracts, escrow and regulation
Generate leads and qualify off-plan buyers
Negotiate price, payment plans and terms with confidence
Market a project internationally, on and offline
Deliver a client experience that earns the next referral
