Khalifa Alsalfa, senior director of the Escrow Account Department at DLD, commented, "The process of following up on the off-plan real estate development process is completely electronic, which helps us serve all real estate developers and approve the disbursement of their payments through the electronic escrow account application. We are also implementing all real estate development procedures in the emirate electronically and remotely through the approved systems in the department. Customers can submit requests for credits and disbursement through the electronic escrow account application account linked with the managers of the project development’s escrow account."

Under the current circumstances, the smart applications in force at RERA played a fundamental role in the success of our mission by facilitating the workflow of all parties in real estate development projects in full compliance with the remote working systems and in line with the guidelines issued by the competent official authorities.

Alsalfa concluded, "Investors and buyers in these projects can also follow up on the construction operations of their projects through Dubai REST by visiting the ‘Mashrooi’ service that provides them with integrated data on the development of construction on project sites."
