Metropolitan on the UAE market

About

About me

I have lived in Dubai for four years and I know this market from the inside — not from reports, but from the properties I view every week. Before Dubai I spent two years in real estate in Moscow.

I work in the prime and luxury segment: off-plan and secondary market. I help you answer the questions that matter — what to buy, when to enter and when to exit. For an investor I calculate returns and a resale strategy; for a family I find the neighbourhood that will actually suit their life.

I am always on the client’s side. I listen to what a client actually needs, instead of selling everyone the same thing.

  • RERA licence — the right to work on the UAE primary and secondary market
  • Sales department, Metropolitan Premium Properties
  • Three university degrees: management, design, business protocol and cross-cultural communications
  • I work in Russian and English
  • I live on Palm Jumeirah

Services

What I work with

Buying as an investment

Selecting off-plan and secondary property for resale or rental income. Return calculations, an entry and exit strategy, and full support from booking to handover.

Buying as a home

Choosing the neighbourhood that fits your life: family, children, schools, relocation. I will tell you honestly where you will feel at home and where you will not.

Selling or letting

I take on prime and luxury properties for sale. Valuation, exit strategy, marketing of the property. Leasing and management are handled by the company’s dedicated departments.

How I work

More than a broker

  • I run the deal from the first message to the handover of the keys

  • I can act as your representative under power of attorney if you are outside the UAE

  • I help with payments and paperwork

  • Property handover, DEWA and utility connections

  • Furniture and light renovation through the company’s vetted contractors

  • I drive: I will show you properties, bring documents, meet you at the airport
