Question 1

What is Realvory?

Accepted Answer

Realvory is a UAE residential property data and analysis workspace. It brings publicly available listings, current market-reference data, relevant reviewed official information, Realvory Index scores, Realvory Signals, portfolios, and Realvory Sage into one workflow so you can analyze, compare, and shortlist opportunities without rebuilding the same research across portals, spreadsheets, and notes.

Question 2

Which property types does Realvory cover?

Accepted Answer

Realvory focuses on residential buy listings — flats, townhouses, and villas — across the UAE. Rental-only inventory is outside the current screening scope.

Question 3

Which UAE emirates does Realvory cover?

Accepted Answer

All 7 emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. You can filter by emirate or community across all plans.

Question 4

How is Realvory different from Property Finder or Bayut?

Accepted Answer

Property Finder and Bayut are built primarily for listing discovery. Realvory is the analysis layer around that discovery: it standardizes public property and market-reference data from multiple sources, adds yield and price-per-sqft benchmarks, Realvory Index scores and Realvory Signals, and keeps comparison, Realvory Sage research, and shortlisting in one workflow.

Question 5

Do I need to be in the UAE to use Realvory?

Accepted Answer

No. Realvory is designed for investors wherever they are. All data is accessible online, so overseas buyers can analyze listings, compare market indicators, and build shortlists before travelling or engaging a local professional.

Question 6

What is a good rental yield in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

What counts as a good rental yield in Dubai depends on the community, property type, fees, vacancy assumptions, and your investment strategy. Realvory shows estimated rental ranges and community yield context for each listing so you can compare a property against its area using the same reference framework. These are estimates based on listing data, not guaranteed returns.

Question 7

Are Realvory Index scores and yield estimates accurate?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Index scores and yield estimates are reference metrics based on modelled inputs and community averages — not guaranteed figures. They are provided for research purposes only and do not constitute financial or investment advice. Always verify with a licensed real estate agent or RICS-registered valuer before making any property decision.

Question 8

Where does Realvory's data come from?

Accepted Answer

Realvory analyzes publicly available property information and market reference data. Where relevant data is available under suitable access and reuse terms, Realvory may also incorporate reviewed information from official public sources. Source inputs are standardized before Realvory uses them to produce calculated estimates, assumptions, confidence indicators, and Realvory Index scores. The product distinguishes reported details from modelled outputs and highlights when market support may be limited. Realvory's analysis is independent: use of an official public source does not mean that a government entity has verified or endorsed a listing, estimate, or score. Important figures should still be checked against the original source and through independent due diligence.

Question 9

What is a Realvory Index?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Index is a 0–100 reference score that combines yield, price value, risk, and affordability into one number so you can prioritize which residential listings deserve a closer look instead of relying on listing presentation alone.

Question 10

What goes into the Realvory Index?

Accepted Answer

Four sub-scores feed the composite: yield (estimated gross yield vs community average, blending net yield when service-charge data is known), price value (price per sqft vs community, using a z-score when comps are strong), risk (ready vs off-plan, with graduated off-plan scoring by handover timeline), and affordability (price percentile within the property-type segment). Weights adjust by data quality and property profile; scores with weaker benchmark data receive a confidence discount.

Question 11

How should I interpret Realvory Index bands?

Accepted Answer

Scores of 70+ generally indicate multiple indicators trending positively. Scores of 50+ suggest mixed indicators — some positive, some neutral. Scores below 50 mean multiple indicators are below community average. Use bands for first-pass triage, not as buy or sell recommendations.

Question 12

What are Realvory Signals?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Signals are four consistent screening filters for UAE residential opportunities: High Yield (7%+ gross yield), Undervalued Deal (15%+ below community price per sqft), Top ROI in Area (yield 50%+ above the local average), and Investor Pick (Realvory Index 80+ with high-confidence inputs). They help you narrow options to properties that match a specific screening thesis before you refine by location and budget.

Question 13

How do I browse Realvory Signal matches?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Signal match pages are available on Advisor and paid plans. Once unlocked, you can combine signals with location, budget, property, and investment filters inside the app.

Question 14

Are Realvory Signals available across the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Signals apply to scored residential buy listings across Dubai and all UAE emirates where Realvory has sufficient community benchmark data.

Question 15

Why are some high-scoring listings hidden on the free plan?

Accepted Answer

High-scoring listings are no longer hidden on the free plan. Free users can browse the full listings catalog; paid plans unlock deeper property-detail analysis and additional research tools.

Question 16

Can I filter listings by yield, price efficiency, or score?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All plans can use investment filters and sorting, including yield ranges, risk thresholds, days-on-market, and Realvory Index cutoffs. Advisor and above add deeper property analysis once you open a listing.

Question 17

Can I analyze a property that is not on Realvory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Realvory Analyzer accepts supported UAE residential sale listing URLs or manual property details. Your submission remains private. Free includes 2 reports per billing month; Advisor and Team are unlimited.

Question 18

What is Portfolio?

Accepted Answer

Portfolio is Realvory's shortlist workspace for saved listings. Group opportunities, keep research context together, and move from first-pass screening toward compare, Realvory Sage review, or client handoff without losing track in browser tabs and spreadsheets.

Question 19

Can I compare properties side by side?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free users can compare up to 2 properties with headline metrics. Advisor and above compare up to 4 properties with full investment metrics including gross and net yield, price positioning, and strategy fit. Advisor shows headline cap rate, NOI, and GRM on property detail, plus listing screen, score drivers, benchmark tables, and underwriting stress tests.

Question 20

What is Market Watch?

Accepted Answer

Market Watch monitors new residential buy listings that match saved search criteria so you can catch fresh matches between review sessions. Advisor and Team include unlimited alerts.

Question 21

What is Client Brief Fit?

Accepted Answer

Client Brief Fit compares a property with a specific client's budget, preferred areas, property type, bedroom and bathroom needs, yield target, entry-capital constraints, and ready or off-plan strategy. It keeps client suitability separate from the Realvory Index, which evaluates the property's broader screening profile.

Question 22

Can I share shortlists with clients?

Accepted Answer

Advisor and Team can publish live client shortlist links with structured listing context and Client Brief Fit. Free users can organize portfolios internally but client publishing starts on Advisor.

Question 23

What is gross yield?

Accepted Answer

Annual rental income divided by purchase price, before any costs. This is the standard first-pass yield figure for comparing listings quickly. In Dubai, ≥ 6% is often considered a healthy gross yield benchmark, though community and strategy matter.

Question 24

What is net yield?

Accepted Answer

Annual rental income minus estimated operating costs, divided by total acquisition cost. It is a more honest picture of what you may keep after ownership costs. A reasonable net target in many UAE communities is often in the 4–5% range.

Question 25

What is cap rate?

Accepted Answer

Net operating income divided by purchase price. Unlike net yield it ignores financing costs, making it one of the cleaner apples-to-apples income comparisons between listings. ≥ 5% often signals efficient income relative to entry price.

Question 26

What does price vs. community average mean?

Accepted Answer

It shows how a listing's price per sqft compares to nearby comparable properties. A negative reading means the listing is priced below the local benchmark. Below −5% can signal a potential value opportunity worth deeper due diligence.

Question 27

What is yield spread?

Accepted Answer

The difference between a listing's gross yield and the community average yield. A positive spread means the property generates better rental return than its neighbors — a useful buy-to-let differentiation signal.

Question 28

What is GRM (Gross Rent Multiplier)?

Accepted Answer

Purchase price divided by annual gross rent. A lower GRM means more income per AED of entry price. Below 15x is generally efficient; above 20x may indicate overpricing relative to rent.

Question 29

What is NOI?

Accepted Answer

Net Operating Income — annual rent minus operating costs, before mortgage payments. It is one of the cleanest measures of a property's cash-generating ability and should comfortably cover debt service if you are financing.

Question 30

What is cost drag?

Accepted Answer

Gross yield minus net yield. It shows how much of your headline rental return is consumed by annual ownership costs such as service charges and management. Below 2% is efficient; above 3.5% deserves scrutiny.

Question 31

What is liquidity score?

Accepted Answer

A composite signal using days on market, price cut history, and comparable depth. Higher scores suggest faster inventory turnover and stronger exit optionality. Scores of 65+ often signal a more liquid, in-demand community pocket.

Question 32

Where can I read longer investor guides?

Accepted Answer

Realvory publishes guides that go deeper on UAE residential analysis, screening workflows, and metric interpretation for investors and client-facing property teams.

Question 33

Which metrics appear on Advisor listing pages?

Accepted Answer

Advisor shows core screening on every listing: gross and net yield, estimated rent and costs, price vs. community, Realvory Index breakdown, strategy fit, and up to 5 comparable listings. Plus advanced analysis — cap rate, NOI, GRM, yield spread, percentiles, 90-day market trends, liquidity and price-cut signals, location benchmark tables, score drivers, and interactive underwriting scenarios.

Question 34

What is the Realvory Browser Companion?

Accepted Answer

It is a free Chrome extension that adds inline Realvory Index actions on Property Finder search results and listing pages, so you can analyze residential listings in context without opening dozens of tabs first.

Question 35

Is the extension free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free users can open unlimited summary popups with the headline Realvory Index. Advisor and paid plans unlock the full breakdown with yield, value, risk, and affordability components inside the popup.

Question 36

Do I need a Realvory account to use the extension?

Accepted Answer

You can install and open summary popups without a paid plan. Creating a free Realvory account unlocks the web app workflow for deeper analysis, portfolios, Realvory Signals, and shortlist organization.

Question 37

What is Realvory Sage?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Sage is the on-demand AI analysis layer for listings and deal workflows. Run structured research inside Realvory instead of rebuilding the same prompts in a separate chat tool.

Question 38

What Realvory Sage actions are available?

Accepted Answer

Realvory Sage includes Realvory FairMark, Due Diligence, Area Outlook, Rental Analysis, Cash Flow Analysis, and Negotiation Strategy. Each action costs 1 credit on paid plans; credit caps vary by tier (see pricing).

Question 39

Is Realvory Sage output financial or legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Realvory Sage research is AI-generated for informational purposes only. Verdict labels (such as attractive pricing or favorable outlook) describe market read, not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold. Always verify figures with licensed agents, valuers, financial advisors, and legal counsel before transacting.

Question 40

How do Realvory Sage credits work across plans?

Accepted Answer

Each Realvory Sage workflow costs 1 credit. Advisor includes 1500 credits per month and Team pools 5000 credits across your organization. You can buy a one-time credit top-up on any paid tier when you need more.

Question 41

Can I import clients from my existing CRM or spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Go to Clients → Import to upload a CSV file or paste data from Excel or Google Sheets. The importer auto-detects column headers and lets you map them to Realvory fields before importing. Emails are checked against your existing client list to avoid duplicates.

Question 42

Can I connect Realvory to my CRM?

Accepted Answer

Advisor and Team plans can generate API keys and configure webhooks from Settings → Integrations. API keys let your CRM read client and shortlist data programmatically. Webhooks deliver real-time events (shortlist shared, viewed, feedback received) so your CRM stays in sync automatically.

Question 43

What are API keys used for?

Accepted Answer

API keys let you access Realvory data programmatically — for example, pulling your client list and shortlists into a CRM, dashboard, or custom integration. Generate keys from Settings → Integrations and use them as a Bearer token in API requests.

Question 44

How do I create an API key?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Integrations, click Create Key, and give it a descriptive name (e.g. "HubSpot sync"). Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once and is stored as a secure hash. Use it in the Authorization header: Bearer {your_key}.

Question 45

What API endpoints are available?

Accepted Answer

GET /api/clients returns your client list with portfolio counts. GET /api/clients/{id}/shortlists returns shortlists for a specific client with metadata (title, status, item count, views, feedback). Both endpoints accept Bearer token or cookie authentication.

Question 46

What are webhooks and when do they fire?

Accepted Answer

Webhooks send real-time JSON payloads to a URL you configure whenever key events happen: when you share a shortlist with a client, when a client views it, or when a client submits feedback. Each payload is signed with HMAC-SHA256 using your webhook secret for verification.

Question 47

How do I set up a webhook?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Integrations, click Add Webhook, enter your endpoint URL, copy the auto-generated signing secret, and select which events you want to receive. You can pause, activate, or delete webhooks at any time.

Question 48

How do I verify webhook payloads?

Accepted Answer

Each webhook request includes an X-Realvory-Signature header with an HMAC-SHA256 hex digest of the request body, computed using your webhook secret. On your server, compute the same HMAC of the raw request body and compare it to the header value to verify authenticity.

Question 49

Can I import and export client data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Import clients from CSV via the import page, and use the API keys to pull client and shortlist data into your own systems. CSV export is available on Advisor and Team plans.

Question 50

Is Realvory free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan lets you browse all residential buy listings, build 1 portfolio, and compare up to 2 properties. Advisor unlocks unlimited listings, full score breakdowns, investment filters and sorting, core listing analysis (yield, ROI, positioning, and strategy fit), up to 5 comps per property, Infinity Market Watch alerts, and 1500 monthly Realvory Sage credits, client shortlist publishing, CSV and ROI exports. Team adds shared seats, shared portfolios, and pooled credits.

Question 51

What can I do on the free plan?

Accepted Answer
