Private Client Real Estate Advisor

I advise private clients on real estate across Dubai and Abu Dhabi — with a focus on risk-adjusted entry, clean execution, and long-term positioning.

My process is deliberately narrow. I screen developer credibility and contract risk first, then build a tight shortlist with clear underwriting — entry price, realistic rental yield, service charges, and exit options — and stay involved through to close.

I don't optimise for volume. I optimise for outcome.

Track record: AED 250M+ sold, transactions up to AED 110M. Clients include investors, entrepreneurs, and family offices who value discretion, precise thinking, and a direct line to someone who knows both markets deeply.

How I Work
Selective by design.
Thorough by default.

Most agents present everything and let you decide. I don't work that way. Before anything reaches a client, I've already screened the developer's delivery track record, the contract structure, the service charge projections, and the realistic resale or rental exit. What I show you is what I'd consider buying myself.

I work with a small number of clients at a time — intentionally. Not because I can't take on more, but because serious advisory takes time. You get direct access, honest input, and someone who's read the market closely enough to tell you when not to move.

My background spans multiple years across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including time at Aqua Properties and haus and haus, before moving to private client work. The experience that matters most isn't the volume — it's the complexity of what I've worked through: off-plan risk, developer delays, exit liquidity, family office mandates, and cross-border investment structuring.

The Process
01
Screen Risk First

Developer track record, contract terms, escrow setup, delivery history, and legal structure — before we talk price or location.

02
Build the Shortlist

A tight set of options — typically 2 to 4 — with clear underwriting: entry price, realistic rent, service charge, handover risk, and exit timeline.

03
Stay Through to Close

I stay involved through negotiation, contract review, payment milestones, and handover. The advisory doesn't end at the term sheet.
