Seller's Guide

In order to successfully list your property for sale with us we need a signed Seller Agency Agreement known as Form A, a copy of your passport and the ownership documents as followed:

• The 1st page of your Property Sales Agreement
• The payment schedule
• The receipts for the amounts that you have paid to the Developer
• The floor plan for the property
• The keys for the property

• The 1st page of your Property Sales Agreement or Title Deed
• The Completion Certificate for Payments
• The receipts for the amounts that you have paid to the Developer
• The keys for the property

Please Note: All completed properties are required to be registered with the Lands Department before a successful transfer can be completed to a new owner. This is at the cost of the Seller.

• Refer to "Sell my property"
• Register your details as requested
• Upload the documents required as per the status of your property i.e. Under Construction or Completed.
• Once we have received your request, we will contact you to discuss our requirements for selling your property.

Or if that sounds a bit to complicated just call one of our residential consultants and they will assist you with listing your property with us.

Once you've signed our Agency Agreement, we will arrange an appointment to conduct an appraisal of your property and to allow us to complete our HIP. We will issue you with a comparable market analysis of similar properties that are correctly listed in your area, and also properties that have recently been sold to give you an indication of the price you can expect.

Smith and Ken have various methods of promoting your property. We understand every property needs exposure, hence our creation of the HIP, which gives buyers all the visuals they need to make a decision. We have our branded For Sale boards, coverage on major internet property portals, and we hold our popular and successful Open Houses in addition to a variety of other creative methods that ensure that your property acquires maximum exposure to achieve the sale you're looking for. We provide extra benefits to those that use Smith & Ken Xclusive which we strongly recommend for those who want to sell their property.

Once your property is listed for sale with Smith & Ken, we will send you a Seller Welcome Pack which includes the HIP brochure of your property. All updates and feedback will be provided to you at no additional charge on a weekly basis. Our standard terms are 60 days.

Once you've accepted an offer from a prospective buyer, an agreement known as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) needs to be signed between both you and the buyer. This agreement highlights the terms and conditions agreed, and the buyer shall pay a deposit of up to 10% of the value of the agreed price held by Smith & Ken in trust until the transfer date.

Once the MOU has been signed for the sale of your property, the complex and at times stressful process known in Dubai as a "Transfer" needs to be conducted in order to transfer the property from your name into the new owners name. At Smith & Ken, we understand what's involved, hence the creation of Smith & Ken Conveyance, the first of its kind to be brought to the UAE, which provides a fully professional and transparent service never seen before. Our Conveyance team deals with developers, lenders and government bodies every day, and understands all of the necessary requirements, procedures, policies and processes, freeing you from the need to become a property transfer expert. We will deal with everything on your behalf and should you be unable to attend the transfer, we can arrange to complete the transfer on your behalf under a power of attorney.

Dependent on our agreement, Smith & Ken charges between 2% - 3% for the sale of the property
