Most buyers in Dubai don't realise the agent showing them the listing usually isn't working for them, they're working for (or splitting loyalty with) the seller. A buyer's agent flips that. But it's not a magic fix, there are real pros and real cons, and knowing both means you make the call deliberately instead of by accident.

Dubai's property market is flooded with agents but good ones are rare. Knowing the green flags — the signs of genuine competence, honesty and client-first behaviour — means you can filter fast, avoid wasting time on the wrong people and find someone worth trusting before the process breaks you.
