With over 30,000 agents in Dubai, what separates the top earners from those just about covering rent?" The "Just About Covering Rent" Agents: 🕵️ Ghost clients: Disappear after the deal. 💬 Poor communication: Leave clients in the dark. 📉 Lack of follow-through: Don't see things through. 💸 Chasing commissions: Prioritise quick sales over relationships. 🧠 No market knowledge: Sell without understanding the market. The Top Earners: 🤝 Build relationships: Focus on long-term connections. 📞 Clear communication: Keep clients informed. 🧘 Stay calm under pressure: Handle challenges gracefully. 🎯 Client-focused approach: Prioritize clients' needs. 📚 Continuous learning: Stay updated with market trends. In Dubai's competitive real estate market, it's easy to get lost in the noise. But the agents who succeed are the ones who focus on what truly matters: people. So, if you're in the business, ask yourself: Are you selling properties, or are you building relationships? Because in the end, it's the relationships that turn into referrals, repeat business, and a reputation that speaks for itself.

#Dubai ranks among the World’s Top 3 Markets for luxury property price growth. Dubai’s prime residential market is now ranked among the top 3 globally for price growth in H1 2025. While Tokyo led with 8.8% and Berlin followed, Dubai’s 5% surge is arguably the most structurally robust. Here’s why? 5% – Prime price growth in H1 2025 (Savills World Cities Index) 4% to 5.9% – Projected growth for H2 2025 125,538 – Total transactions (up 26% YoY) Dh431 Billion – Transaction value (up 25%) 59,000+ – New investors entered the market What’s Driving This? - Unmatched Global Connectivity: Seamless access East to West. - Investor-Friendly Policies: Golden Visas, tax incentives, and ease of doing business. - Supply Constraints: Limited luxury inventory meets soaring demand. - Economic Diversification: A non-oil economy fueling high-net-worth immigration. Dubai has undergone a structural repositioning and declared a global safe haven for capital. While other “mature” markets saw modest growth (just 0.7% globally), Dubai’s growth is driven by tangible demand drivers: rising immigration, infrastructure maturity, and a pro-business regulatory environment. What truly sets Dubai apart? - It is relatively affordable. Luxury here still costs less than in London, New York, or Singapore. - Financing accessibility has improved. 15-20% down payments and long mortgage terms create a mature yet agile market. - It offers impressive Visionary Governance. Initiatives like the Dubai Urban Plan 2040 ensure sustained growth and scarcity value. Expect continued out-performance. With supply lagging demand and investor confidence steady, prime assets are becoming long-term stores of value.  The key for investors?  Look beyond short-term gains. Focus on communities with lasting infrastructure, connectivity, and exclusivity. Do you agree that Dubai's luxury properties will rank at the top compared to those in other global cities?

Moderate Price Correction Expected in 2026 Home prices in the UAE could begin easing in 2026 as tens of thousands of new apartments and villas hit the market, according to a new report from Moody's Ratings. For residents, that could mean more choice, steadier rents, and a less overheated housing market. On The Business Breakfast, we spoke to the Moody’s Assistant Vice President and analyst Aziz Al Sammarai, MFin, who wrote the report about what to expect and how “moderate” this correction might be.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE IN THE UAE: HR’S CRUCIAL ROLE IN AN EVOLVING NICHE After 20+ years across sectors, I’ve learned that every industry has its “inflection moments.” The UAE’s luxury real estate market is now at one such turning point. With accelerating growth, shifting buyer expectations, and evolving supply dynamics - HR must not just adapt, but lead from the front. What’s Changing in Luxury Real Estate? - The UAE luxury residential market is estimated at USD 45.11 billion in 2025, projected to reach nearly USD 70.9B by 2030, at a CAGR of ~9.5%. - Buyers are seeking branded residences, wellness-driven living, smart home integrations, and spaces that offer lifestyle and exclusivity, not just size or address. - Golden Visas, international buyers, and limited prime land are redefining competitiveness and the sophistication demanded from developers. Today’s luxury is not just about aesthetics - it’s about experience, comfort, and intelligent living. Spaces must now think, adapt, and respond to human needs. And in this shift, technology has emerged as the silent architect of modern luxury. Here’s where HR becomes the defining force behind sustainable growth: - Talent Acquisition for Distinction: Luxury real estate thrives on brand experience and precision. Recruiting professionals who embody refinement, creativity, and emotional intelligence is no longer optional - it’s essential. - Capability Building: As sustainability, wellness, and tech integration become core differentiators, HR must proactively drive reskilling and continuous learning to stay ahead of the curve. - Culture of Prestige with Humility: Luxury clients expect excellence paired with grace. HR must craft cultures where pride in craftsmanship coexists with empathy and authenticity. - Employer Branding & Global Talent Attraction: In a globalized market, the people behind the product define the brand. HR must position developers as employers of choice for top-tier global talent. - Retention & Leadership Continuity: Long project cycles and exacting standards demand resilience. HR must foster well-being, mentorship, and strong succession to prevent fatigue and preserve quality. In essence, innovation isn’t just an amenity- it’s the axis on which future luxury hinges. And HR, as the custodian of people, must ensure that innovation is mirrored in mindset, culture, and capability. REMEMBER: True luxury isn’t loud - it’s lived. You don’t see it; you feel it. #akthoughts #RealEstate

Dubai real estate is fast-moving, and staying ahead means relying on more than just portals and CRMs. For market data, I keep an eye on REIDIN and Property Monitor for transaction insights, as well as AirDNA and Mashvisor when it comes to yield analysis in holiday homes. Reports from CBRE, JLL and Knight Frank add the bigger investment picture that serious buyers expect. On the networking side, LinkedIn Sales Navigator remains one of the most effective tools for identifying the right decision makers, and I also use platforms like ZoomInfo and Apollo when I need deeper contact research. The legal side is just as critical. The DLD Rest app and official website are essential for ownership checks and transactions, while MOJ and Notary portals streamline POA and title deed processes. I also make sure to follow legal updates from firms like Al Tamimi or Hadef & Partners—because one overlooked clause can make or break a deal. The truth is, Dubai’s real estate market has matured. It’s not just about listings and square footage anymore. It’s about data, compliance, and risk management. The better your ecosystem of resources, the more confidently you can advise clients and close deals that stand the test of time.
