Disinformation in Ads Admitted by Better Homes CEO



Better Homes is a firm in the United Arab Emirates that deals in e-marketing for properties in all the cities of the country. After being reported by certain people, the CEO of the Better Homes, Mr. Ryan Mahoney admitted the other day that at times, the wrong information has been shared on their website. While talking to Dubai Eye’s Business Breakfast, he admitted that there have been incidents in which the information updated on the websites was incorrect and he was not at all sorry for it because it was not his mistake as per him. He says that the agent was actually responsible for it.
He also said that the agents and manager are responsible for such mistakes as the website can not keep track of every agent and every property. The matter was first investigated and then reported in news on Tuesday that the website had been providing incorrect information in the descriptions of the properties at certain instances. There were blunders in which Dubai Metro was told to be running through The Palm Jumeirah while at other places where shopping malls were praised but they did not actually exist.
He said that the mistake could be called as a system error or more appropriately a human error because it was just a mistake and though there was some false information displayed regarding the routes of the bus but at least there were no fake properties or cheating being done by the website. He blamed the agents for it and said that they must know everything before they put up information on the website so that such errors do not get repeated.

Dubai – Perfect for Everything



The point at which all the other cities in the region get stumped by the majestic Dubai City is that it is a place for all and hardly there is something on Earth that Dubai is not perfect for.

This one line (previous one) tells that this city is excellent for tourism and at the same time exceptional for business as well.
This is not about the natural resources now as most of people think about the Arab cities that have progressed in the recent years that they have developed themselves on the back of the rich mineral resources. Fact tis that the Dubai City does not possess huge oil reserves and the main feature that it has developed as a city is the business and tourism opportunities that attract people from all parts of the world making it one of the biggest hosts of expats in the world. As the business is booming in the city and there are all the chances of progress, job seekers from all parts of the globe come here and earn respectable livings.
On the other hand the administration of the city is fully aware of the importance of education in the city and top quality universities and colleges have been set up in the city and it has become a center of learning and education in a very short span of time. Healthcare facilities are excellent and Dubai Healthcare Authority has been extremely pro-active in this regard. Dubai Healthcare City is another step in the same direction. The festivals and sports events also charm the tourists and all these spectacular make the city of Dubai as one of the most sought after places on the face of the planet today.
