Horrible experience
February 13, 2025

Many promises has been not kept. Salesman was very pushy and wanted me to close the deal the same day... Also I wasn't allow to check with my tax advisor in Europe... I really wanted to invest a lot of money and didn't work out. I will try to find other Dubai groups.

We had an outstanding experience today with The First Group, and we are thrilled to share our feedback. From start to finish, the team demonstrated remarkable professionalism, hospitality, and expertise. A special mention goes to El Sayed, who guided us through the tour with incredible knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm. He ensured we felt comfortable and well-informed at every stage, leaving no question unanswered. His dedication truly made the experience seamless and enjoyable.
We were also privileged to meet the big boss, Mr. El Sheikh, whose charisma and vision left a lasting impression on us. His leadership and passion for excellence reflect in every aspect of the company, and it was inspiring to see firsthand.
The entire experience was not just informative but also a testament to their professionalism and integrity.
We highly recommend The First Group to anyone seeking exceptional service and unparalleled expertise in real estate development in Dubai.

Overall experience
February 2, 2025

Good in the beginning, but I slowly started feeling pushed to make a decision, when I declined I experienced a change in expression and refused to drop to the hotel, from where I was initially picked up by the driver, however managed to drop to some spot in the middle. I think that if the offer has excellent benefits, then the client will come back in the future, it does not matter if he chooses not to decide on the spot.

Hi

It was a great experience from the moment I was introduced to TFG at DXB airport to the second day at your showrooms with the sales and executive personnel.

I met incredible people and had all my questions answered; I see my future financial freedom with TFG as I navigate investing and being rewarded in the short and long term.

Regards
