Off-plan means purchasing a property that is still under construction. The agency’s role: selecting developers with a proven track record, registered projects, and active escrow accounts. Process: project selection; 2) property reservation; 3) online transaction and electronic signing; 4) originals sent via international delivery; 5) initial payment of 5–20%; 6) subsequent payments according to the construction schedule. Where the funds go: All payments are deposited into an escrow account in a bank approved by the regulator. — In Dubai, control is exercised by RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency), part of the Dubai Land Department. — In Abu Dhabi, control is exercised by the Abu Dhabi Municipality through the TAMM government system. The developer receives funds only after the regulator confirms completion of a construction stage. Important: Not all projects have an escrow account from the start of sales — it may be opened during active sales. Agilova Real Estate verifies the escrow account status before initiating the transaction, reducing risks to zero. Agency commission: 0% when buying from the developer; 2% only in case of resale (secondary). After the transaction: your assigned broker monitors construction progress and provides photo/video reports, creating the effect of your presence.
