How do I verify the property and developer and avoid scams targeting overseas buyers?

Verify the title deed through DLD eServices, confirm the project's RERA registration and escrow, and research the developer's delivery record. Never wire money to a broker's or individual's personal account; funds go only to escrow or the seller via the Trustee Office. Check for service-charge arrears, which pass to you, and confirm a valid developer NOC before transfer.
