The New Agent's Startup Budget

New agents rarely quit because they can't sell. They quit because they ran out of money before the commission landed. The work was paying off, the bank account just emptied first. Nobody warned them about the real number.

This guide is that number. The full cost of starting out as a Dubai agent, the monthly running costs, and the runway you need to survive until your first deal pays.

Inside you get:

• The two budgets every new agent needs, and why the runway is the one that matters
• The cost of getting licensed, DREI, the RERA exam, the broker card, visa, and what your brokerage may cover
• The tools of the trade, including the car that quietly eats most of the budget
• The cost of being seen, portals, branding, and the free lead gen to lean on first
• The runway rule, three to six months of living costs, and why it saves your career
• A simple method to build your own real number
• The questions to ask your brokerage before you sign

It's a budgeting guide, not financial advice, with every figure framed as an indicative range to verify, since the real number depends on your brokerage and the current rates.

Stop guessing at "some savings." Build the real number, save it, and give yourself the room to make it.
