I built before I sold.
I started as a civil engineer on construction sites in Russia. My first jobs were not glamorous — checking concrete, arguing with contractors, walking the site at 6 a.m. when nobody else wanted to.
For thirteen years I managed builds — including the IKEA / MEGA shopping-centre rollout across 14 cities in Russia, from St. Petersburg to Yekaterinburg. That is the kind of work where a small mistake costs millions and "we will fix it later" is not a real plan.
When I moved to Dubai in 2021, I noticed something specific: most brokers here have never built anything. They sell what looks good in renderings. I read renderings differently — I see what is missing, what is being hidden, and what is going to leak in three years.
That is the value I bring to a transaction. Not pressure, not "exclusive listings". A second pair of eyes that has seen what happens after the keys are handed over.

Four steps. No surprises.
- 01
Discovery
A 30–60 minute call. We map your goal, time horizon, risk tolerance, and what success actually means in your case.
- 02
Due diligence
I research the developer, the building, the area economics. You get a written shortlist with the actual reasons for and against each option.
- 03
Selection
Site visits — physical or video. We compare on data, not on the agent's emotional commentary. You choose; I help you not regret the choice.
- 04
Closing
Contract review, payments, escrow, DLD registration, NOC, handover snagging. Your signatures only. Everything else I run.
Three buyers and sellers. Three real outcomes.
Buyers who came in tired of being pitched
Several buyers reached me through a recommendation or a Telegram channel after cycling through brokers whose pitch was "buy anything, everything is going up". I declined the loud options. They bought the units that actually fit them — and one of them earned meaningfully on capital appreciation.

AED 11M on Bluewaters when the floor was 10M
The seller had been told 'AED 10M is at-market' by every other broker. None brought a buyer above that floor. I went upstream of viewings — different positioning, direct outreach to the right profile through my network — and closed at AED 11M. He has been my repeat seller-side reference since.

Urgent Marina sale — no Form A, no exclusivity
An apartment with a Marina view and a large terrace, owner needed liquidity fast. He had Form A and portal advertising signed with several brokers. With me — nothing signed. I bypassed the listing race and went buyer-side directly. The buyer I brought paid above the competing offers.

A few honest answers
The most common questions — with direct answers. Full list on the FAQ page.
All questions →Can a non-resident foreigner buy property in the UAE?
Yes — in designated freehold areas a non-resident foreigner can take full ownership in their own name. The catch is that the area must actually be freehold for foreigners (not all are), and the developer must hold a valid escrow account. I check both before I show you the unit.
I keep seeing "guaranteed 8–15% yield". Is that real?
No, not as advertised. Net yield after service charge, agency, vacancy, furnishing depreciation and operator fees is usually 4–7% on solid units, and lower on the wrong ones. "Guaranteed" usually means the developer pre-pays you with a price uplift baked in. I will run the numbers with you before you sign anything.
How do I transfer the money from Russia / CIS in 2026?
There are several legal channels still open in 2026 — through UAE-friendly banks, through correspondent routes, and via crypto on-ramps in compliant jurisdictions. Each has different cost, speed and KYC profile. I will not advise you on this in writing publicly — it changes — but I will walk you through current options on a call.
What can go wrong — and how exactly do you protect me?
A lot can go wrong: the developer slips on delivery, the building is built badly, the area underperforms, your exit liquidity dries up, the contract has a clause that costs you money. My job is to filter out the avoidable risks before you commit, document the unavoidable ones in writing, and stay involved through delivery so a problem at handover does not become your problem.
