Dubai Finanz evolves into a full-service valuation and investment advisory hub

Dubai Finanz, a Dubai-based firm catering to German-speaking property investors, has broadened its scope from mortgage advisory into independent property valuation and comprehensive investment advisory services. This shift is in response to the evolving needs of overseas investors. According to the Dubai Land Department, real estate transactions in Dubai reached Dh917 billion in 2025, with a significant influx of property buyers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

For these investors, comprehending the underlying value of an asset, its building quality, and selecting the appropriate financing structure is as crucial as choosing the right development. The company's expansion is spearheaded by Eugen Zimbelmann, the founder and CEO of Dubai Finanz. As the only German property valuer accredited by the Dubai Land Department, Zimbelmann serves as a real estate consultant, valuer, and expert.

With over a decade of experience as a professional real estate investor, he owns more than 60 residential units in both Germany and Dubai. Dubai Finanz specializes in providing property valuation and investment advisory services for German-speaking investors. Operating through Welldomo Valuation Real Estate LLC and Welldomo Mortgage Broker LLC, the firm employs more than 20 people and is recognized as the first German-language property valuation firm in Dubai.

Initially focused on property financing, the company has evolved into an advisory business that guides investors through the entire process, from market-entry strategy and property selection to valuation, financing, acquisition, and ongoing management. Zimbelmann emphasizes that while financing remains part of their offerings, it is just one component of a broader process.

The company conducts independent valuations based on market value, compares asking prices with Dubai Land Department registrations, and evaluates building conditions and rental potential before a purchase. For off-plan and newly completed homes, the firm performs handover inspections with reports in German and English, which can be particularly valuable for overseas buyers unfamiliar with Dubai's development landscape, transaction processes, and financing environment.

UAE banks are obligated to obtain an independent valuation before approving a mortgage, but buyers who pay in cash or purchase off-plan typically do not commission one. Dubai Finanz also assists professional investors in building property portfolios in Dubai, addressing location analysis, financing structures, and tax considerations relevant to their home countries.

For German-speaking investors, the primary challenge is often not finding property opportunities in Dubai but understanding which opportunities align with their financial objectives and risk profiles. As the market matures, independent valuation expertise and local knowledge become increasingly important in decision-making. Zimbelmann's core principle is that investors should understand the asset, the numbers, and the market before committing capital.
