| What is “Property Guide”? |
|
| propertyguide.com has gone a step further by taking all
of its availabilities and printing them in a forthnighty (every other Wednesday)
high-quality magazine titled “Property Guide.”
Property Guide is the first ever consumable
classifieds magazine that is solely dedicated to property sale
and rental availabilities in Dubai. Its main function is to
facilitate the purchase or leasing of property from
individuals, exclusive property developers and/or property
management companies to the end buyer or lessee. The magazine
features properties from around the city (both freehold and
non freehold), each with coloured pictures and a full
description, price, contact details, and a link online with
even more details and features on the respective
property. |

|
| Why is “Property Guide”
Different? |
|
| Conventional property magazines or newspaper
classifieds are cluttered with articles, editorials, and
misleading information. Property Guide, however, has
taken property classifieds to new levels by going a step
further to present the end-user with a property that includes
photographs, 360 virtual tours, floor plans, and all facts,
figures, amenities, and contact details that one requires in
finding the ultimate property he or she desires. As if this
was not enough, Property Guide has also taken
measures to painstakingly organize, alphabetize, and neatly
place each availability in its correct category and district
using the most detailed maps of Dubai that have been
strategically colour-coordinated to make property searching
easy and understandable for the end-user. What makes Property Guide truly unique is that the reader can log on to
the Project Company's website www.propertyguide.com using the
reference numbers (WEB ID no.) provided and find the property
on the website with more photographs, 360 virtual tours of
each room, exteriors images, and even floor plans to make the
final decision-making an easier process. |

| What is the Content? |
|
| Property Guide is the finest in consumable
magazines, designed to the highest standard and put together
with the most efficient method of finding properties for sale
or rent in Dubai. At 100 pages plus, it features hundreds of
properties every other Wednesday, with large colour pictures and maps
detailing 10 different districts around the city. The
colour-coded scheme enables property seekers to easily find
particular areas of interest and the colour dividers help in
separating the different districts. Property Guide
has also dedicated itself to requiring firm documentation and
proof of ownership of each property placed by individuals and
exclusive property management, and development companies alike
to assure no redundant advertisements. These firms have
exclusive ownership or agency rights for many projects around
Dubai. Therefore, this guide is the only classifieds in Dubai
that puts the end-user directly in touch with the owner or
exclusive seller of the property. |
