About RealTerra International
Analytical
by Nature.
Soulful
by Design.
A data-driven real estate advisory built for investors who require conviction, not conjecture.
Our Approach
The RealTerra Methodology
Most real estate decisions are made on instinct, relationships, and market noise. At RealTerra, we treat property selection the way a fund manager treats a position — with data, discipline, and a documented thesis.
We map infrastructure pipelines, developer track records, population migration patterns, and rental yield trajectories before we recommend a single square foot.
Numbers alone do not build wealth. Conviction, timing, and a practiced reading of where a market is heading — that is the dimension that separates RealTerra from a data screen.
Every recommendation is supported by a documented investment thesis — macro trends, micro supply dynamics, and exit liquidity assessed before any commitment is made.
We track UAE infrastructure approvals, zone reclassifications, and masterplan filings — often months before market pricing reflects the underlying shift.
Completion track records, escrow compliance, and handover quality ratings — assessed systematically. We know which developers deliver and which ones require caution.
We build exposure across yield assets, capital growth plays, and off-plan positions — balancing risk with the discipline of a private wealth mandate, not a sales target.
Leadership
Our Founders
CEO
Gaurav
Sabhachandani
Gaurav was born into a family for whom real estate investment was a core discipline, and met asset selection, portfolio structuring and capital allocation long before most practitioners encounter them formally. He has since advised high-net-worth families across the GCC on structuring UAE property exposure around their objectives.
At RealTerra he is the analytical backbone of the firm, responsible for market thesis development, developer evaluation, and the data infrastructure behind every recommendation. His approach favours methodical rigour and fundamentals over market sentiment.
managing director
Ruchika
Malhotra
As Mrs. India Worldwide 2022 and founder of a luxury fashion label spanning fifteen years, Ruchika built a precise understanding of how high-net-worth clients decide: what they value, and what they expect from anyone they trust with a significant transaction.
She is now among the UAE's most consistently high-performing agents, with a record across ultra-luxury villas, penthouses and premium residences from Binghatti, DAMAC and Emaar. As CEO she leads client relationships, sales execution, and the developer network behind the firm's market access.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can foreign nationals buy property in the UAE?
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property in designated areas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, with full ownership rights and no requirement to be a resident.
What is off-plan property, and how does payment work?
Off-plan means buying before completion, directly from the developer. Payment is staged against construction milestones, and buyer funds are held in a government-regulated escrow account until handover.
What taxes apply to UAE property investment?
There is no capital gains tax and no income tax on rental proceeds. A one-off Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% applies at purchase, plus standard registration and agency costs.
Does buying property qualify me for a Golden Visa?
A property investment of AED 2 million or more can qualify you for a 10-year renewable Golden Visa, covering your spouse and dependants. We can walk you through the current requirements.
How does RealTerra select the projects it recommends?
Every project passes a five-point screen: developer track record, completion risk, yield floor, exit liquidity, and a documented growth thesis. If a launch fails any of them, we do not present it.
