Stuck in a bit of a quandary:
1. We made offer on 2 apartments
2. Relocation agent dutifully follows up with property agents
3. Property agents insist on having security deposit before paperwork, but relocation agent advises that we should hold the cheque until paperwork is done.
4. Deal is scuttled, apparently because other clients didn't require 'bullsh*t' (quoting an agent) paperwork. Agents then disappear.
5. Time is running out, on both relocation agent's allotted time and our temporary accommodation.
Is it simpler and quicker to deal with property agents directly?
We're 1st-time renters in Dubai.
