About me
With 25 years in international real estate across the UK, Asia and the Middle East, I bring a genuine depth of market knowledge to residential and investment sales in Dubai Marina.
My career has been built on large scale residential and mixed use projects, including multiple residential launches in international markets, alongside investment advisory across all major asset classes. Throughout, my focus has been residential sales and working with international investors and buyers, connecting capital from one market to opportunities in another. I understand what overseas buyers need to feel confident, and I look at every property the way an investor would.
Today I focus on residential sales and investment across Dubai Marina, JBR and the surrounding communities, from ready homes to off-plan launches.
What this means for you:
Sellers: evidence based pricing and a numbers driven approach, showing buyers exactly what your property yields, backed by a clear marketing plan and firm negotiation to achieve the best possible price.
Buyers: honest advice on building quality, service charges, views and resale potential, with access to off-plan and off-market opportunities.
Investors: a clear picture of what a property actually yields after costs, realistic capital growth expectations, and guidance on mortgages and payment plans, whether you are buying your first unit or building a portfolio.
International clients: I have worked with buyers from Europe, Asia and the GCC for over two decades and can manage the whole process remotely, from viewing to transfer.
My approach is simple: straight talking advice, regular updates and no pressure.
