HomeOwners Direct is a UAE based digital platform where sellers/landlords/developers and buyers/tenants meet directly to negotiate and reach private agreements on property sales and rentals - without unnecessary third party costs. At its core it is a savings site that eliminates the cost burden of commissions traditionally levied on buyers and renters of property.

HomeOwners Direct is a marketplace for over 100 approved service providers. If you're in need of professional advice or services but don't know where to start, visit our database of community-rated services and businesses.

No commission, significant savings: When you rent or Buy your property through HomeOwners Direct you do so directly from the owner. Therefore, there’s no commission payable to agents. With commissions typically starting at five per cent on Rent and 2% on Sales, this can be a considerable saving - purely on the transaction alone. Additional savings are available across a range of approved professional service providers, part of the HomeOwners Direct community, who can support every aspect of your transaction needs.

Flexibility: HomeOwners Direct is a 24/7 online community designed to suit your needs. You can use the service and engage with prospective landlords/Sellers on your terms. You can ask the landlord/Seller questions, schedule viewings and make offers directly.

Choice: HomeOwners Direct is all about personal choice. You choose how you use our service. Should you wish to complete the rental/Buying process by yourself, then we provide you with all the tools you need to do this successfully. Our online library of downloadable forms and guides will support you every step of the way. This even extends to services you might need once you have agreed your tenancy or Sales agreement, such as moving in or out. And, of course, should you need it, there’s advice available from our expert panel and supplier community.

Great insight: The property market can be a challenging place and navigating the potential pitfalls can be tricky. HomeOwners Direct makes this easier by giving you all the information you need to make the right decisions. We’ll provide you with everything from market statistics to community backgrounders; information on the closest schools in your neighbourhood to a route finder facility, shopping malls to hospitals and everything else in between.

Good advice: As soon as you select your property, we’ll give you access to experts who can help you as much as you require. From the completion of tenancy formalities and registrations, to the sourcing of removal services and local utility providers, there is someone in the HomeOwners Direct community who can help.
