Specialist voices on the Dubai property market
Each of our columnists owns a beat — from off-plan investment and yield analysis to villa communities and first-home guides. Every article is researched, factual and opinionated.
Amara Nasser
Amara translates DLD transaction data, supply pipelines, and macro signals into clear calls on where Dubai's market is heading. She writes the numbers most brokers only feel.
Daniel Okoro
Daniel covers both sides of the deal — how to buy well and how to sell for more. He's obsessed with process, timelines, and the fees nobody warns you about.
Lena Fischer
Lena writes exclusively for owners looking to sell. Staging, listing timing, agent selection, and how to read a lowball offer — she's in the seller's corner.
Ravi Menon
Ravi lives and breathes apartment living — from studio yields in JVC to branded residences on the Palm. Floor plans, service charges, and view lines are his love language.
Sophia Al-Khoury
Sophia profiles Dubai's villa communities — schools, commute times, green space, and the intangible feel of a neighbourhood. She writes for families putting down roots.
Marcus Bianchi
Marcus is all about cash flow — gross vs net yields, short-term vs long-term lets, and the RERA rental index. He writes for landlords and income investors.
Hana Suzuki
Hana demystifies the buying journey for first-timers and expats — mortgages, visas, escrow, and the paperwork. No jargon, no assumptions.
Omar Farouk
Omar tracks the announcements that move the market — new launches, regulation, mega-projects, and developer moves — and tells you what they actually mean for buyers.
Isabelle Laurent
Isabelle covers off-plan and investment strategy — payment plans, handover risk, developer track records, and the maths of buying before completion.
Yusuf Rahman
Yusuf writes about how Dubai actually lives — waterfront mornings, community dining, walkability, and the lifestyle premium built into an address.
