Frequently asked recruitment questions
Do I need previous real estate experience for a career at Standpoint?
At Standpoint, we value who you are as a person above all else, and not your past experience or educational background in real estate.
We are looking for individuals who have a positive attitude, great work ethic, and are committed to excellence.
Our priority is to employ people who share our values and are dedicated to personal and professional growth while acting with integrity at all times.
How much money should I have saved to relocate to Dubai?
We recommend candidates have at least £8,000 or (40,000 AED) saved for the first 5-7 months in Dubai.
As this is a commission-only role, it is essential to have sufficient funds to support yourself during the initial stages of your relocation.
How do I source accomodation?
Before arriving in Dubai, you will need to arrange your initial accommodation. Our relocation advisor will guide you through the process and provide a list of affordable hotels and Airbnb options located near the office.
Once you have your Emirates ID and Residency VISA, you will be in a position to take a long-term lease, should you desire.
Why work at Standpoint Real Estate?
At Standpoint, we are committed to being the best in the industry. Within just three months of operation, we were nominated for “Agency of the year Dubai” by Bayut & Dubizzle, demonstrating our exceptional standards.
Our office is made up of a dynamic team of individuals, primarily from the UK, aged between 20-35 years, who have won numerous awards over the years.
As a brokerage, we specialize in the key areas in Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Hills, Palm Jumierah, Bluewaters, Jumeirah Beach Residence, and Arabian Ranches, ensuring that you work in desirable communities that are always in popular demand.
How many positions are available?
At Standpoint, we don’t believe in mass recruitment and building a revolving-door company.
However, we are looking to expand our agency and have significant visions for the next five years. Most importantly, we pride ourselves on our staff retention rate and in-house training module.
Do I get training?
Our Managing Director Andrew has developed an internal training model that teaches anyone how to perform at the highest level in the Dubai real estate market.
This module was crafted with years of real experience operating as a broker in the Dubai Real Estate Market, and Andre was even on live morning TV in 2022, speaking about the current trends in the real estate market.
We also mentor our agents through ongoing learning, with regular 1-2-1 meetings with brokers and monthly training sessions to keep agents updated with the latest in the real estate business.
Whats the working hours?
Our official working hours are 9-6, Monday to Friday. However, our office is open 24/7, 365 days a year, and we have all national holidays off, as well as a week’s closure over the Christmas and New Year period.
We don’t micromanage, and our brokers have true freedom to control their day in a way that works best for them.
Where is the office located?
Our 4,200 SQFT office is strategically located on the 11th floor of Control Tower, Motor City. This ensures that our brokers are never further than 15 minutes away from the communities we cover in Dubai.
Whats the office culture like?
At Standpoint, we foster a relaxed and friendly office culture that allows for individual expression, creativity and collaboration, while maintaining an unwavering focus on delivering results and continuous improvement.
Our office is equipped with a pool table and lively music playing throughout the day to encourage a positive work-life balance.
We have an open-door policy in place where managers and directors are always present and available to support and guide our agents whenever needed.
Is there room for progression?
Yes, at Standpoint, we value professional growth and development.
We offer clear and defined career progression routes for our brokers, including Leasing/Sales Agent, Senior Leasing/Sales Agent, Area Manager, and Associate Director.
We also have opportunities for upward mobility in our management team as we continue to expand as a company.
Are there any additional Incentives?
Absolutely. At Standpoint, we run regular incentives to motivate and reward our brokers for their hard work and dedication. Our incentives include cash bonuses, brunches, Apple products, tailored suits, spa days, Formula 1 tickets, festival tickets, and more.
We also organize quarterly incentives, such as attending the F1 season opener in Bahrain, to further reward our top performers.
For those interested in sports, we have a Standpoint FC 5-a-side football team and a group of golf enthusiasts who play regularly.
We also host office-wide calls every other Friday and reward outstanding work with doughnuts and cash prizes.
If I start in Leasing when can I progress to Sales?
We see our Leasing department as a training ground for our brokers, where they can gain invaluable experience in their area of expertise and develop a deep understanding of the real estate industry.
When the time is right, we fully support our brokers in transitioning to the Sales department, which offers even greater earning potential.
There is no set time limit on this transition, as we encourage our brokers to make the move as soon as they feel ready.
Do you provide marketing & admin support?
Yes, we provide comprehensive marketing and admin support to our brokers. Our in-house department is responsible for watermarking, editing and uploading broker photos to the live portals, allowing our brokers to focus on the more critical aspects of their work.
Our property listings on Propertyfinder attest to the high caliber of properties we bring to the market for sale and rent.

Our management team is always available for informal chats and discussions to provide additional support and guidance to our brokers as required.
