How did you come to the decision to enter the Dubai market, which is both demanding and very promising?

– Entering the Dubai market was not an impulsive decision, but the result of long-term strategic reflection, market analysis and monitoring of global trends. As a leading agency in the real estate trade in Croatia and the region, the logical step was directed towards international expansion. Dubai is recognized as one of the most dynamic and promising investment markets in the world - a city that attracts global investors, provides security, a high level of infrastructure and a distinct quality of life.

We are aware of the complexity and high standards that prevail in this market, but it is precisely such environments that inspire and motivate us to take an additional step forward. Our business model is based on expertise, professionalism and an individual approach to clients - values that are universally recognized in markets like Dubai too.

What is the competition like in Dubai and where do you see Dogma’s position among the big global players?

– The Dubai market brings together numerous established global agencies, and the competition is really strong. However, this very fact motivates us to prove our quality and authentic approach. Dogma is not based on quantity, but on deeply personalized service, professional ethics and building long-term trust with clients.

Our agents are continuously educated, constantly improving their skills, and our internal business system enables efficiency, transparency and excellence at every stage of the process. All of this is the foundation of our competitive advantage and the key to our positioning and success in a market like Dubai.

What are the target customer segments in this market?

– Our primary focus is on investors from Europe and the region – individuals and families who want to diversify their investment portfolio, take advantage of the rental potential of real estate or simply enjoy the lifestyle that Dubai offers. We also address the diaspora, as well as local and international buyers who are looking for trusted partners - experts who know how to manage the entire purchase process, but also provide comprehensive support after the transaction is concluded.

Our ambition is not only to sell – we want to be advisors and partners who understand the needs and goals of clients and who facilitate each stage of the investment with their knowledge and experience.

What are your expectations from the market and what challenges do you foresee in your business?

– We expect a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that requires top-notch organization, flexibility and strategic thinking. Dubai requires dedication, precision and quick response. Challenges include strong competition, specific legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as the need to adapt to the business culture and high level of client expectations.

However, it is our willingness to constantly learn, the systematic approach and adaptability that we have developed over the years that make us resilient and ready to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and development.

What kind of real estate offer do you present in Dubai and how are your agents prepared for that market? Dogma is also preparing a special DUBAI ROADSHOW, what is it about?

– Dogma offers a wide range of real estate - from luxury apartments and villas to investment projects in the early stages of development. There are options for every budget - from affordable apartments that compete with the Croatian market in price, to exclusive, top-notch investments.

Our agents undergo specialized training for work in the United Arab Emirates, including knowledge of legal regulations, local business customs and specific communication styles. There are differences between the European and Middle Eastern markets, but with proper preparation, they are not an obstacle but an opportunity for learning and professional growth.

Our agents are highly motivated, professionally prepared and ready to respond to all the challenges of the new market.

Yes, DOGMA DUBAI ROADSHOW is a kind of Dogma “tour”, that is, our partners in Dubai will present exclusive projects to clients. DUBAI ROADSHOW will take place in June in Rijeka, Split, Zagreb, Belgrade and Ljubljana. There are still very few places left for applications for the ongoing presentations. Through this presentation model, you will get first-hand information about all the apartments on offer, with all the necessary details. The number of places is limited, so we invite everyone interested to apply.

What are buyers looking for the most in the Dubai market and how does Dogma meet these demands?

– Buyers in Dubai are looking for security, transparency, high return on investment and impeccable service. The lifestyle component is also important - more and more clients are looking for an environment that offers security, infrastructure, international educational and healthcare institutions and business opportunities.

That is why locations such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Business Bay are among the most sought-after, and we offer projects in these prestigious addresses. Dogma approaches each client with individual attention, providing more than just a sale - we offer a comprehensive advisory service, brokerage and after-sales support, because we know that buying a property is not just a transaction - it is an investment in the future.
