About Astana Real Estate
Astana Real Estate is an independent, licensed real estate agency in Abu Dhabi. We help international clients buy, sell and analyse residential and commercial property — and we keep the facts you need to check us in one place.
Who we are
Astana Real Estate L.L.C - S.P.C is a real estate brokerage licensed in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. We advise private clients — international investors, owners who live abroad, families relocating to the UAE and Russian- and Kazakh-speaking buyers — on buying, selling, letting and managing property in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.
We are independent. We are not a developer, and no developer owns or controls the agency. That matters because the most useful thing a broker can do is compare: a new launch against a ready home, one island against another, an asking price against what similar homes actually sold for.
How we are paid on your transaction is agreed before we start. On new launches the developer usually pays the brokerage; on resale and leasing the terms are set out in a written agreement with the client.
Licences and how to check them
- Abu Dhabi economic licence: CN-6251574, issued to Astana Real Estate L.L.C - S.P.C by the Abu Dhabi Registration Authority (Department of Economic Development). Legal form: limited liability company, sole proprietorship; established 8 December 2025. Licensed activities: real estate purchase and sale brokerage, real estate leasing brokerage, and real estate lease and management services. Owner and manager: Yeldar Nurmukanov.
- ADREC Broker No.: 20250000737880 — the brokerage's registration with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre.
- Founder's broker card: 20260000946840 (ADREC), held by Yeldar Nurmukanov.
You do not have to take our word for any of this. The economic licence can be checked with the Tahaqaq verification service on TAMM, and active broker and brokerage permits on DARI, Abu Dhabi's official real estate platform, and listings advertised in Abu Dhabi carry a Madhmoun permit that is verified against the title deed. We explain what to ask any agency — including us — in Choosing a Real Estate Broker in Abu Dhabi: What to Verify.

- Buying ready and resale property. Homes with a known rent, service charge and condition, compared against new launches nearby.
- Selling. Pricing from transaction evidence, preparation of documents, advertising with the required permit, buyer qualification and transfer. See Selling property in Abu Dhabi.
- High-value and confidential sales. Prime villas, penthouses, buildings and land, presented privately where the owner prefers it. See Off-market property advisory.
- Commercial and hospitality. Offices, retail, hospitality assets, development land and small portfolios. See Commercial & hospitality real estate.
- Letting and property management for owners who are not in the country.
All services are listed on the services page.
Where we work
Our base and most of our work is Abu Dhabi: Saadiyat, Al Reem, Yas, Hudayriyat, Al Maryah, Jubail and Fahid islands and the main city districts. We also cover Dubai, and we publish catalogues for Muscat, Oman and London for clients who compare markets; outside the UAE we work through partners.
How we work with a client
- The brief. What the money is for — a home, rental income, residency, a sale — plus budget, horizon and anything that rules options out.
- A shortlist or a price. For buyers, a small set of options with the numbers behind them; for sellers, a price range built from recent transactions, not from asking prices.
- The checks. Ownership, the developer, the payment plan and escrow, service charges, resale conditions and rules that change the economics, such as the June 2026 rent freeze or ADGM jurisdiction on Al Reem and Al Maryah.
- The agreement. Brokerage terms in writing; reservation and sale agreement reviewed with you before you sign.
- Payments and registration. Payments go to the developer's project escrow account or as the registered sale agreement specifies; registration is completed through DARI or, on Al Reem and Al Maryah, the ADGM Registration Authority.
- After the deal. Handover inspection, letting, management and, eventually, resale.
How we publish information
Figures on this site are attributed to a named source — developer materials, ADREC, or another official body — on the page where they appear. Our own reading of the data is labelled as opinion. Prices and availability are dated, because they change. Where we rely on another broker's data, as in parts of our catalogues, we say so.
We do not publish rankings, awards, deal totals or client reviews that a reader cannot check.
