Smith & Ken's Dubai Real Estate Recovery Scheme

Just think about this for a second. There you are ever so confident that you have made the right decision to invest in a property. So you have made an initial series of payments. But then it all happens in a flash. Your property's developer goes down and it takes with it your investment. Now everything seems to be lost for you and you start to worry about the investment that you have made.

And that is part of the nature of investment because you invest in a property knowing, or hoping, that it will eventually gain profit for you or at least provide you with good value. But that's not what always happens in real life.

The hardest part to take about it is that you have already given a good deal of payment for that property. While it may not be the total price of the  property, it is still a large sum of money. And losing that will truly hurt your feelings and your wallet too. That's when you begin to think that everything is going wrong against you. The good thing is that you have an option.

There is a company that offers assistance for such an occurrence, helping investors recoup what they have already lost through their busted investment. This is called the Smith & Ken's Real Estate Recovery Scheme. And it is a great option considering that you have already made a big initial cash out for your property. Don't you want to get something in return for you loss?

You might ask: Can I still recoup my losses and get a great deal from another company because of it? The answer is yes. To give you a basic understanding of this works, let me explain it as simple as I can. Smith & Ken will aim to provide a property of equal value to the one you have already lost. They will give you a like for like credit note for the amount that you have already paid for your previous developer. Now clearly you will see this system's benefits for you. You will be getting something in return for your original investment that did not actually materialized.

Then Smith & Ken Dubai Real Estate Recovery Scheme (RERS) is going to present you with their portfolio of properties that you can choose from. They will make sure that these properties are of high quality and are under developers with good reputation or nowhere near bankruptcy. Because for such a thing to happen to you twice can already be considered a bad luck. Good thing there is Smith & Ken's Real Estate Recovery Scheme to help you.

The majority of the applications submitted to the company are processed individually. This is to ensure that they properly screen every applicant and that they can provide the right type of service. It is only normal to receive their feedback in 5 working days.

This is the best property recovery service that you can rely on and it has already been tried and tested by countless number of investors who went through similar situations.

Smith & Ken's Dubai Real Estate Recovery Scheme

Sometimes the global economy is in a bad situation or your real estate developer gets into trouble, or something else might have happened, but the end result is that your investment is in the brink of turning sour. It can be a harrowing situation and blaming yourself for making that what seems to be a poor investment decision in the first place when buying a U.A.E. off plan property. But seriously, how could you blame yourself when it was not your fault to begin with sometimes things are just beyond our control.

It all starts when you probably made a 10/20 percent payment or maybe a bigger deposit to cover a good chunk of the overall price of the property you have chosen in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). And then the unthinkable happens. Your property's developer goes bust or absconds. You are left there hanging thinking that you have completely lost what you have already invested in your dream home.

Fear not as now we have the Smith & Ken’s Real Estate Recovery Scheme which can help you with your predicament and put all your worries behind you. We fully understand the uncertainties and doubts that you are feeling and thinking because after all, it is serious money that was almost completely taken away from you.

Smith & Ken will aim to give you a like for like credit note that will more or less match the value of what you have already shelled out for your property and replace or swap it for a READY property from a trusted developer! What this means is that you will be getting back what you previously deemed as already lost via our Dubai Real Estate Recovery Scheme (RERS).

We have a great selection of units or properties that you can choose from both apartments, villas and offices. These are always available when they are presented to you, however the number of the units will be limited. So acting fast on your behalf is the key to recouping your losses and making the most out of your sour investment.

Bear in mind that every application will be treated individually and you will be notified within seven working days if your application was approved.

Just think of it this way, you will be swapping your property with one that Smith & Ken offers you. So if you look at it, you have actually lost nothing. And what's even more wonderful about it is that for your canceled property or unit, you will be getting another one that is located in a prime READY U.A.E. development. That's because Smith & Ken makes sure that you are really getting great value out of your new property investment.

When your application is approved, Smith & Ken will then invite you to look at our available properties and portfolio. When you have found one to your liking, we will process your Dubai Real Estate Recovery Scheme (RERS) application and swap your previous property for the new one that we present to you. We will then deduct the amount that you have already paid from your property.

So if you're interested, here are the three simple steps that encompass this recovery scheme:

Step one: Fill out the Unit Transfer Form, supply the necessary documents including the original signed reservation agreement or sale and purchase agreement, the original developer receipts for all your payments, and the proof of unit registration in Dubai (Oqood registration).

Step two: Wait for the approval from Smith & Ken. The review process can take up to 7 days.

Step three: You will be duly notified if your application was approved.

Carolyn Capalbo: What's In A Name? As we look to help a fellow realtor clear her name you can read more on the background of this story here.

William Shakespeare, that great literary giant once wrote:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

To Carolyn Capalbo, her name is her one real and most important asset. And although Shakespeare may have his point, it is different now that almost everything can be searched on the web, particularly on Google. Because the Carolyn Capalbo we are most concerned here is a very successful and well respected real estate agent in Northern Virginia. She just had the misfortune of having a namesake who had achieved some notoriety around two years ago.

The “other” Carolyn Capalbo is the mother of Ashley Dupre. Now to shaken your memory a bit, let me explain a little more about the series of incidents that gained national fame and which would later affect Carolyn Capalbo the real estate agent.

Back in 2008, then New York Governor Eliot Spitzer got involved in a prostitution scandal. What happened was the media, more particularly The New York Times, reported that Governor Spitzer had occasionally hired the services of the Emperors Club VIP, an online escort service to hire high class call girls. One of these girls upon which the governor had gotten the services more than once was Ashley Dupre. These inappropriate activities were discovered with the use of federal wiretapping. Later in March of the same year, Eliot Spitzer resigned as governor of New York.

To go back to the topic at hand, Ashley Dupre's mother, the professional escort mentioned above, is named Carolyn Capalbo.

Just like the Carolyn Capalbo who is a real estate agent, an economics degree holder, and a financial specialist. This Carolyn Capalbo does not have a daughter named Ashley and as of this writing, is not yet old enough to have a grown up daughter.

Now you might ask what's with all the fuss about her having a namesake? The answer is simple. Carolyn Capalbo has a name to protect. Her name is very much respected in the real estate industry. She is held with high regards by her fellow realtors. And in the real estate business, especially when you are selling homes to people, having a good and clean name counts.

A few years back, when you search her name on Google, it's all about her that you would find in the search results. But that has changed because now she has been outranked in the results by the other Capalbo. There are even image thumbnails of Ashley Dupre in bikini right on top of the search results for Carolyn Capalbo. And that's not a good thing especially when clients happen to make a search for your name.

The real estate agent Carolyn Capalbo wants her name back, at least back on the top Google results. In an industry where one's name and reputation are among the deciding factors whether you can get potential clients to trust you, it has become even more important to have your name on the top results.

A name is a name, but if you are called a rose, you want to always smell as sweet.

Real Estate Web Design Dubai by Blue Beetle

I have been looking to have a re design on my website Dubai Property Portal for some time now but with being so busy focusing on the SEO and Search Engine Optimization the new design has been put on the back burner so to speak up until last week this...

One thing I do is always keep an eye out for who is on top of their game for Dubai Web Design and in particular Dubai Real Estate websites. There are so many companies out there showing off their flashy portfolios, some good and some bad but there is only one company who I consider to be way ahead of the competition for creativity, customer service, attention to detail, clean design, usability with a high quality end product and that is Blue Beetle in Dubai.

Over the years I have watched them progress into the market leaders for Dubai Property and Real Estate websites with names such as The First Group, Hydra Properties, Smith & Ken, Dubai Luxury Homes, Dubai Waterfront Properties etc etc and that is only the property related sites. They have also designed for the likes of Lloyds TSB, Jumeirah Group, Dubai World and many many more big names, actually have a look at their portfolio here and see for yourself as some of the designs really are awesome. I approached Mark Hirst at Blue Beetle with my ideas for a re design and new front/back end so it`s work in progress really but one things for sure I really can`t wait to see the end result and I know it will make a big difference to give our clients a much more user friendly platform to buy, sell and rent Dubai Property, so watch this space and I`ll update you with the progress from time to time up until the launch.

If you are looking for Dubai web design or development on your new or existing site get in touch with the guys at Blue Beetle like I did they`re impressive no doubt about that and are considered the number one Dubai real estate web designers by far.

One of the things I`ve been busy with this week is finalising my SEO Search Engine Optimization proposal with Ben Smith the CEO of Smith & Ken one of Dubai`s leading property companies. So why did we both team up together? Well first of all when I looked at the Smith & Ken current website it was something I really wanted to be part of I have to say, its one of the best Dubai real estate websites out there! Plus Ben had some great ideas himself and a good understanding of Dubai Property SEO so I knew it could be the perfect combination.

But it gets better than that... Ben then told me they were having a new website launched at the start of September, I asked if I could take a look at the new design compared to the old as I could not really see how they could better what they had already??!! WOW is the only word I can describe to tell you the way it looks, absolutely genius work by the guys over at Blue Beetle Dubai Web Design, I always knew they were the best in the local market for churning out mega unique design work with exceptional functionality, great job guys I`m sure it will take the market by storm when its launched.

Now back to the SEO work, I think Smith & Ken were quiet impressed with all my initial ideas and the examples I showed them that I have done on my own project Dubai Property Portal over the last few years and obtaining top ranks in Google, Yahoo, Bing etc with some top notch Search Engine Optimization for Dubai property and all the developments within.

I`ll keep you updated on the progress of the work and the new website with the official launch date it should be very exciting and expect to see Smith & Ken all over the Search Engines very soon!

The World's Best Property SEO.

Is Mark Wallington the best property SEO out there? I must admit I`m doing this Blog here to show you my SEO skills and to also challenge myself to see if I can get to the number one ranking in Google for the search terms "World's Best Property SEO" to be honest I think I`ll do it lets see... As proof if you have landed on this page you have also witnessed first hand of what I could do for you in terms of property SEO if you have come via a Search Engine.

It`s also a test of my SEO Search Engine Optimization knowledge that I have picked up over the last 4/5 years whilst working on my own website Dubai Property Portal. I`ve tried to achieve some of the greatest rankings possible in the local real estate market there to drive traffic and clients which in turn means leads leads leads and revenue! The results that I have achieved so far have gone way above my expectations, just to give you an idea the main website and all the associated Blogs that I use get approximately 4,000 unique views per day (more about that below).

The property world in Dubai has seen a lot of changes in the last few years with regard to online marketing and media advertising. In the past most real estate and property companies used to use newspapers and magazines for listing their properties which got very expensive. These days everyone who wants to stay one step ahead of the competition and at the top of Google are using the best SEO techniques and individuals like myself to make this happen. SEO Search Engine Optimization is not something you can just click your fingers and make happen even if you have one of the best property websites on the world wide web, if it is not optimized correctly its as good as being listed right at the back of a newspaper, not on the back page but on the inside back page, useless.

SEO takes time and patience and many changes to the structure of the title tags, keywords, descriptions and of course great content and that's only scratching the surface, if you don't have the experience in making these changes it can be quiet a daunting task and one which most companies are simply not equipped to do themselves so they look to hire a good SEO.

See what it takes to be the World's Best Property SEO today.

Anyone familiar with Dubai will know that normally each passing year sees Dubai’s already sky high rental prices being increased further towards the point of madness. On top of traffic, rent in Dubai it is safe to say, is not one of the things Dubai residents would have high on their lists of lifestyle benefits of living in the Emirate. With some workers spending over 60% of their income on renting a property in Dubai alone, the situation was getting a little out of hand. Landlords were very much in the position of power, with most tenants being expected to hand over at least 6 months rent, in most case 1 years worth of rent, before being able to take occupancy of their home. However the rapidly deteriorating Dubai real estate market combined with the global economic crash has brought hope to Dubai tenants. Well that was the original idea.

In order to give a clear indicator of what rental prices should be, the Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) released a rental index, which was to act as a guide to fair rental prices. However upon its initial release, the index wasn’t exactly an overwhelming success! The figures used to calculate prices were mid 2008 prices, when the Dubai real estate market was at its peak, and rental prices still sky high! It therefore bore no resemblance to the current market demand and rental prices, and therefore wasn’t exactly much use!

However RERA are now set to release a new an updated rental index using more recent market data, that should give a more fair indication of what rental prices should be in the current climate. Although it has not yet been fully completed, RERA have revealed a average price drop of 10-15 in some developments. This is still some way off the expected price drops and current market prices, but RERA say this the index is still undergoing completion, and these prices have been formulated using only a few developments rental prices. The full index should be released later this month. However will it fully show the drops being seen in rental prices, or will RERA have overstated prices yet again? Those who work in the sector believe the rental prices have declined some 30% across Dubai properties, but will the new rental index get it right this time?

With the financial problems being experienced in the west now slowly filtering through to other economies around the world, Dubai can join the likes of China and other large Asian countries in seeing its economy slowly take a turn for the worse. This therefore puts Dubai real estate in a very unfamiliar situation, with this perhaps the first time here that property prices are not on the up. And with this being a first, no one is really sure as to how long things may last, and what happens next. After all real estate prices can be complicated enough, without the current external factors also added on top. However what we do know is that the current property prices decline presents buyers with a great opportunity to pick up a bargain!

Whilst houses prices are still not exactly give away cheap, they are certainly becoming more and more tempting. Whilst prices have fallen with both off plan and secondary market property, it certainly seems that it is the secondary market that has been the hardest hit. Many of those working in the Dubai real estate sector believe the current fear behind the price drops is a little overblown and prices will soon bounce back, but in either case, it means for the time being you can purchase real estate in some well know areas for almost 20% less than a few months ago! With prices in Emaar’s popular Downtown Dubai development according to some reports down by as much as 22%, there is some very high standard real estate up for sale with big discounts!

But who wants to buy now if the market is only going to continue to fall, right? Well the beauty of the Dubai property market at the moment is that long term; it still looks a very solid investment! Property is still underpriced in relation to other big cites, and the Dubai government has a strong hand in dictating market supply, ensuring things don’t get too out of control. The general picture being presented of the Dubai property market is that the current price drops being experienced will not be a long term thing, therefore making this a great time to jump onto the market.
