Five consultants, each with a RERA number you can check.

Every broker operating legally in Dubai holds a BRN. Ours are printed here so you can verify them on the DLD app before you take a call — and none of our consultants works both sides of the same transaction.

Layla Haddad

Layla Haddad

Director, prime residential

BRN 41882In Dubai since 2011

Closed 34 transactions above AED 10 m in the last three years. Will tell you when a listing is priced ahead of its comparables, including ours.

Palm Jumeirah · Dubai Hills · Arabic, English, French
Faisal Rahman

Faisal Rahman

Senior consultant

BRN 39104In Dubai since 2014

Ex-valuation surveyor, which is why every one of his listings carries the last three comparable transactions rather than an asking-price average.

Emirates Hills · Marina · English, Urdu, Hindi
Priya Menon

Priya Menon

Consultant, family communities

BRN 44720In Dubai since 2017

Handles the school-run question before the property question, because for a family relocating that is the real constraint on which community works.

Arabian Ranches · Creek Harbour · English, Malayalam, Hindi
Omar Siddiqui

Omar Siddiqui

Consultant, investment

BRN 47355In Dubai since 2015

Builds the net yield — after service charge, after management, after void — rather than the gross number the portals print.

Downtown · Business Bay · English, Arabic
Hala Nasser

Hala Nasser

Head of leasing

BRN 38901In Dubai since 2012

Runs Ejari registration, the RERA rent calculator check and the renewal notices, so a tenancy here does not turn into a dispute in year two.

The Sakan team

Salaried, not commission-only.

Every consultant here is on a base salary with a capped bonus. It costs us more than the Dubai norm and it is the reason nobody at Sakan needs you to buy this month rather than the right month.
