How to Submit an EOI

An expression of interest in Palm Springs goes through a registered broker in four stages, the signed form, the Broker Portal application, the deposit and status tracking. Nakheel accepts a manager's cheque, personal cheque, bank transfer or credit card.

Expressions of interest in Palm Springs have been open since the Nov 9, 2026 launch, and a buyer submits one through a broker registered with Nakheel. The steps below are from Nakheel's EOI submission guidelines, which are written for brokers; we have put them from the buyer's side. The guidelines do not state the deposit amount, so ask your broker.

1. Sign the form

Your broker receives the EOI form by email and completes it with you. You sign it and provide a copy of your passport and, where you have one, your Emirates ID.

2. The broker applies

In the Broker Portal the broker chooses EOI Submissions, Create EOI, enters your details and the unit, and uploads the signed form. An Application Reference Number then goes by email to both of you. Keep it: every payment document has to quote it.

3. Pay the deposit

Method	How it is treated
Bank transfer	Details are in the Broker Portal; upload proof through "Submit Proof of Payment" in the reference email
Manager's cheque	Will not be banked or encashed
Personal cheque	Will be banked and encashed
Credit card	Paid in person

Everything other than a bank transfer is accepted at the Meraas-Nakheel Sales Center in Al Sufouh or the Sales Boutique in City Walk. Give Finance your reference number there.

The difference between the two cheques is worth weighing. On Nakheel's wording, a manager's cheque holds your place without the money leaving your account, while a personal cheque is cashed.

4. Follow the status

"Submitted" means the application is in and waiting for payment confirmation. "Paid" means Finance has received and cleared the deposit, and the status changes by itself once payment is validated. Brokers can write to agents@dhre.ae or call 600 555 588.

Nakheel's guidelines do not say whether a deposit is refundable if you decide not to buy. Get that answer in writing before paying. What follows booking is on Payment Plan.
