Dear Ruby,

Hey, how are things going? I hope the sunny atmosphere in Dubai are pleasing you! I’ve been considering making a change and giving real estate in the United Arab Emirates a shot. To me, it sounds like an incredible adventure to work in Dubai’s rapidly expanding real estate industry and take in the glitz and glamour.

I’ve worked in the real estate business for a long now, closing deals, negotiating contracts, and assisting customers in finding their ideal houses. It’s something I’m very enthusiastic about, and I believe Dubai’s real estate market would be an intriguing challenge for me.

I was interested, though: what are the typical working hours for realtors in Dubai? Is the remuneration competitive given the market? Any suggestions on where to begin exploring for real estate options in the city of gold would be fantastic!

Take care, I’ll catch you later

With love

Baljit
