NAS Luxury Real Estate LLC

4.91,262 Google reviews

NAS Luxury Real Estate is a full-service brokerage covering villas, apartments, and commercial space across Abu Dhabi's island communities, from Al Reem to Yas and Saadiyat. Beyond leasing, the firm handles property management and investment consulting for owners, and its listings span the emirate's newer master developments as well as established buildings. Renters work with a named personal agent rather than a call center, which shows up again and again in what customers say about the process.

What people praise

  • Named agents get repeat praise for patience and clear explanations
  • Handles the paperwork end to end, from offer to move-in
  • Wide coverage across Reem Island, Yas Island, and Saadiyat
  • Quick turnaround when a renter is on a tight timeline

Worth knowing

  • Best experiences are tied to specific agents, so ask for one by name if you can

How we rank these

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume shows how many renters actually left feedback, which we weigh against others on this page. Confidence blends both, so a high rating on a handful of reviews scores lower than the same rating backed by hundreds. Recency looks at how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does an apartment rent for in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Rent in Abu Dhabi varies heavily by island and building age, and none of the agencies above published fixed public rate cards we could verify, so treat any number as a starting point and confirm with the agent directly.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These agencies collectively cover Al Reem Island, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Khalifa City, Al Raha Beach, and Al Ghadeer, along with older communities closer to the city center. If you’re searching for apartments for rent near you in Abu Dhabi, most of these firms will work across the emirate rather than just one neighborhood, so a single call can cover more ground than you’d expect.

What to ask before you sign a lease in Abu Dhabi

  • Is the agent licensed with the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport?
  • What’s included in the rent, and what’s billed separately (chiller, DEWA-equivalent utilities, parking)?
  • How many cheques does the landlord require, and is a post-dated cheque schedule negotiable?
  • What happens to the security deposit at move-out, and how is wear and tear defined?
  • Is the building pet-friendly, and are there restrictions on subletting?
  • Who handles maintenance requests after you move in, the agent or the landlord directly?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these agencies?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for apartment rental agencies across Abu Dhabi, then ranked them on a blend of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this list in July 2026. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so always confirm current availability directly with the agency.

Do I need an agent to rent an apartment in Abu Dhabi?

You don’t legally need one, but most available inventory is listed through agencies rather than posted publicly, so working with one usually gets you access to more units faster.

Can I negotiate the rent or cheque schedule?

Yes, both are often negotiable, especially the number of post-dated cheques. Ask directly, since agents don’t always volunteer this.

The bottom line

NAS Luxury Real Estate is the safe first call given its review depth and consistent agent-level praise, with Al Ghazal Royal Real Estate a close second on a perfect rating. Whichever agency you pick, ask for a named consultant up front and get the cheque schedule and deposit terms in writing before you commit.
