One review describes the service-charge department as accurate, quick and willing to go the extra mile.
A reviewer called the contact centre the best in the UAE, although this contrasts sharply with many other accounts.
One reviewer described the managed community as the best organised in the UAE.
Allow time. Build in extra time for permits: one reviewer waited more than three months for a modification access permit.
Check portals. If you submit a move-in permit, check the portal and follow up directly; a reviewer discovered the portal was not working only after calling.
Keep records. Keep payment confirmations and calculations ready, since one reviewer’s July payment still appeared as outstanding three months later.
Chase refunds. Follow up persistently on deposits: one reviewer waited more than 70 days for a chiller deposit refund despite repeated emails and calls.
Plan the visit
The RealConnect App/Website is the online system reviewers mention, though one review says it was rarely functional.
Move-in permits are a recurring administrative service; one reviewer waited days and found the portal was not working.
Modification access permits are mentioned as a lengthy process, with one reviewer waiting more than three months.
Chiller deposit refunds are handled through the company, but one reviewer reported waiting over 70 days.
Emails and calls are repeatedly described as unanswered, with some complaints left unresolved for weeks or months.
Permit approvals can take days; one reviewer waited over three months for a modification access permit.
Call-centre messages are often passed to another department without a clear resolution or visible follow-up.
Reviews describe unresolved leaks, broken facilities and delayed maintenance visits, including a three-day wait for an AC technician.
Some owners report paid service charges remaining marked as outstanding or receiving invoices they believe are incorrect.
The Bottom Line
Dubai Community Management is a property management company based in Dubai Production City. Owners and tenants use it for practical community administration, including service-charge accounts, move-in and modification permits, maintenance complaints and deposit refunds. That makes it relevant if your property is in one of the communities it manages, but the reviews suggest you should expect a process-heavy experience rather than quick, hands-on help.
The clearest pattern is slow communication. Reviewers describe unanswered emails, calls that only take messages, and repeated hand-offs between departments. Permit work is a particular sticking point: one person waited more than three months for a modification access permit, while another was told to wait 48 hours for approval despite a leaking ceiling.
The RealConnect App/Website was also described as rarely functional, and a move-in applicant discovered the portal problem only after calling. There are a few positive accounts. One reviewer praised the service-charge department for accurate, quick assistance, while others called the contact centre highly organised and the best in the UAE.
Those comments sit alongside complaints about incorrect invoices, paid charges still showing as outstanding, neglected common areas and delayed maintenance. If you deal with DCM, keep payment proof, allow generous time for permits and chase every request in writing.
