    Overview

    In this video, Ricardo explains how investors can exit their real estate investments on the platform. Real estate is known for being a traditionally illiquid asset but Stake is changing that by introducing smart and flexible exit options designed for today’s investors.

    Ricardo describes how Stake enables full exits when a property’s value increases significantly. In that case, a vote is held among all investors before the sale process begins. He also shares real examples of past exits including properties that delivered over 50 percent returns in just a few years, well before the recommended five-year holding period.

    We also deep dive Stake’s Exit Window feature. This option, available twice a year, allows investors to buy or sell shares in already financed properties. Who is eligible to participate, how the process works and recent activity including more than AED 4.3 million in transactions during the latest window.

    Finally, Ricardo addresses a common request from investors to offer exit windows more often. While increasing their frequency is operationally challenging, Stake is working with partners such as the Dubai Land Department and the Dubai International Financial Centre to simplify the process and make it more scalable in the future.

    If you want to understand how and when to exit your property investments or learn how Stake supports investor flexibility, this video will give you a clear overview.
