When property ownership was granted to expatriates in Dubai, thousands of buyers rushed to grab a piece of the action. Many people who had been renting decided to buy, and signed contracts without reading the terms and conditions. The result was confusion, dissatisfaction, and many first-time buyers ended up worse off than they had been when renting.We have been in the UAE for the past twenty-four years, involved in real estate. We felt that there was a need in Dubai for a service that protected the interests of both buyers and sellers. We wanted to ensure “win win” results for both parties whatever their objectives. We created Panorama with this in mind.
