New agent in need of guidance.

Hey everyone,

I just started working in real estate in the UAE, and I have zero experience.
I’m not from this industry at all, but I ended up liking it way more than I expected (because of money ofc lol).

The problem is:
the people I work with don’t teach anything.
No tips, no guidance, no way to learn how to close deals.
Everyone treats their success like it’s some secret formula.
So I can’t learn much from inside the office.

A big part of the buyers here are Russians, and I honestly don’t know how they usually find opportunities abroad or what gets their attention.
I just found a fire project, it's my first ever to work on, and I don’t want to waste it by being clueless.

So for Russians (or anyone who understands that market):

How do you normally discover real estate deals in another country?
Is it through friends, research, word of mouth, random ads, something else?
Basically, what makes you even look into a property in the first place?

I honestly want to target Russian audience because the word out there that they're the best buyers and investors in RE, but I don’t want to do it blindly and waste money. I want to understand how people think before I run ads or anything like that.

Reddit has always been helpful, so I’m hoping you guys can give me some direction again.

Wishing myself luck. I’ll probably put some money into ads soon, even though I don’t fully know what I’m doing yet.
Any advice helps.
Thanks.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

How to Avoid Property Scams in Delhi?

Here’s What You Should Know! Commercial Real Estate (Non-Residential) Buying a property in Delhi can be tricky, especially with all the stories about scams and shady deals. If you're in the market, here are some tips to keep yourself safe:Double-check the documents: Always verify ownership and approvals. Don’t just take someone’s word for it—look at the actual papers.

I’ve noticed that some property services have started focusing on things like verified listings and clear communication, which makes the whole proc...
