Bespoke residential and investment advisory across Dubai's most coveted addresses — from Palm Jumeirah villas to Downtown sky-residences. Fifteen years guiding discerning buyers, sellers, and investors home.
I help individuals, families, and investors find — and let go of — properties they truly love, with the discretion and rigour the market demands.
Raised between Dubai and London, I built my career inside two of the emirate's most respected brokerages before founding an independent practice in 2019. My clients return to me because the work is honest: I value the asset, the neighbourhood, and the timing — never the commission.
Today my portfolio spans Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Downtown, and the Marina, with an active book of off-market opportunities I quietly bring to the buyers best suited to them.
Whether you are buying a forever home, building a yield-driven portfolio, or quietly bringing a trophy property to market, the engagement is calibrated to you — never templated.
Curated home searches across Dubai's premier communities, including off-market villas, penthouses, and waterfront residences.
Yield-led portfolio strategy, off-plan placements with vetted developers, and capital preservation through cycle-aware buying.
Confidential representation for sellers who prefer their property never to be listed publicly — qualified buyers introduced privately.
For families and executives moving to the UAE: end-to-end relocation, including schooling, residency, and lifestyle integration.
Long-term and short-stay leasing across the luxury segment, with hands-on management that protects the asset and the experience.
Quarterly insight reports and bespoke valuation memos — the same research I rely on to advise my own clients' decisions.
Each address in Dubai carries its own rhythm. A snapshot of where I work most — and where I'd be happy to walk you through, in person.
Dubai is no longer simply a destination — it is a residency, a tax position, a portfolio, and a lifestyle, all underwritten by one of the most pro-investor frameworks in the world. Below, the facts I share with every client before we begin.
No personal income tax, no capital-gains tax, and no annual property tax on residential holdings — only a one-time 4% transfer fee paid at the Dubai Land Department.
Across all designated freehold zones, non-UAE nationals enjoy full and outright ownership of land and property — fee simple, no leasehold caveats.
A property investment of AED 2M or more qualifies the buyer (and dependents) for the UAE's renewable 10-year residency — one of the region's most accessible long-stay pathways.
RERA, the Dubai Land Department, and mandatory escrow accounts for off-plan transactions make Dubai one of the most institutionally protected emerging markets in the world.
The UAE Dirham has been pegged to the US Dollar since 1997 — a quiet but powerful anchor for international buyers protecting purchasing power across cycles.
Average gross yields of 6–9% in prime apartment districts — meaningfully ahead of London, Paris, Singapore, and most US gateway cities at equivalent quality.
Dubai is a city you can move to in a week. World-class international schools (Repton, GEMS Wellington, Dwight, Swiss International), private healthcare on par with Geneva and London, year-round sunshine from October through May, and a social ecosystem built around the people who choose to be here.
For families, the calculus is simple: safety, schooling, climate, and proximity to home. For investors, it is yield, liquidity, and a currency that doesn't move. For founders, it is the absence of friction — set up a free-zone company in days, not months.
Dubai's luxury segment continues to outperform global benchmarks, with prime values up year-on-year and inventory in the AED 10M+ range remaining tight. Below: a snapshot from my most recent client briefing.
