Numbers before narrative
Every recommendation comes with the fee stack, the service charge and the net return written down. If the maths does not work, I say so — even when it costs me the transaction.

I would rather lose a deal than let a buyer discover a fee late
I am Ryan Dixon, a Dubai residential specialist working with end-users and investors across the freehold market — from first apartments in the Marina to Palm Jumeirah rebuilds.
How I got here
I moved to Dubai over a decade ago and spent my first years watching capable, well-funded buyers get caught out by the same thing: nobody had told them the transaction cost. They budgeted the price, agreed the price, and then met a 6.4% surcharge in the final fortnight.
So I built my practice the other way around. Before a viewing, you get the fee schedule. Before an offer, you get the running costs and the realistic net yield. Before transfer day, you get a dated payment plan showing exactly what clears and when.
The result is a client base that mostly arrives by referral, and repeat investors who already know what the second and third purchase will cost them.

How I work
One client, one side
I represent your side of the table. You will always know who pays me, how much, and at what point in the process it becomes payable.
Community-level knowledge
Yield and resale liquidity are decided building by building, frond by frond. General market commentary is not advice.
Let's talk about your purchase
A 20-minute call is usually enough to tell you whether a property, a community or a funding plan stacks up.
