The one year property search that ended overnight

A luxury villa in Dubai Hills Estate. AED 36 million. 48 hours. One delighted client and a deal only an experienced real estate agent could pull off.

So, what turns a Sunday listing into a done deal by Tuesday and how did Kais achieve such a fast property sale? It takes an agent who’s been watching, waiting and knows what the ideal home looks like the moment it’s released to the market.

Kais Khan, Dubai Hills real estate specialist at haus & haus, had been working closely with this family for over a year while they rented and waited patiently for the right opportunity to come along. He knew exactly what they were holding out for; it was just a matter of the right villa hitting the market. So, when this Dubai Hills Estate home was listed on a Sunday, he wasted no time getting them in for a viewing.

It speaks to how much has changed in Dubai. A few years ago, most people arrived thinking they’d stay a year or two. Now, discerning families are prepared to wait 12 months for the perfect home because they see a future here. Dubai is the place where people are looking to put down roots and build a life.

The complexities behind complexities behind this fast property sale  

This sale didn’t come without its complexities. The villa was owned by the sellers’ children, which meant coordinating with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) to transfer ownership back to the parents before the deal could move forward.

From spotting the perfect listing to managing the pace, the paperwork and everything in between, Kais made sure nothing stood in the way of his clients securing their dream home.

As Kais explains: “That kind of timing only works when you're truly dialed in to what your clients want, especially when they’re end users. They weren’t just investing; they were going to live in it. So, ticking every box was the goal and the brief.”

Why work with a Dubai Hills Estate area expert?

When a family had been searching for over a year without success, the breakthrough didn’t come from seeing “just another listing,” it came from an agent who knew the area inside out. They understood which street offered the right view, how a small change in layout would make a big difference and exactly what would meet the family’s brief.

Across Dubai, the most successful deals often happen this way. Working with an area expert means having someone who can spot the right property the moment it becomes available and navigate the process quickly, before opportunity slips away.

Our real estate agents in Dubai understand what drives value, where demand is shifting and which homes offer the most potential. If you’re buying or selling, connect with an area specialist to get the best results.
