Life of real estate agents in Dubai: midnight calls, tireless work, big wins - News | Khaleej Times

It turns out that the Dubai real estate market has been on fire this year, reaching an astonishing 177 billion dirhams in transactions in the first half of 2023. This financial frenzy sets the stage for an exciting life for real estate agents in the City of Gold. However, behind this shiny facade lies a world of unwavering dedication, fierce competition, and stories of both success and despair.

In the city, there are 35,000 real estate agents; the competition is not just fierce, it's an endless battle.

They work on commission, without a fixed salary, where their very existence depends on closing deals. In search of that one monumental deal that can sustain them for months, they invest up to a year in finding potential clients. Their profession demands relentless effort.

Innovation and unconventional tactics have also found their place.

Recently, a European woman, while relaxing by the pool, encouraged potential clients on Instagram to 'swim' with her before considering a real estate purchase - a bold approach that quickly cost her her job.

Balancing work and personal life can be a real challenge for modern alchemists.

It's impossible to keep the mind in a state of complete calm in nature.

With analysis driven by artificial intelligence predicting the Dubai real estate market to grow by 15 percent in 2024, the scenario remains a coveted arena.

However, this is not an easy game. Not everyone who becomes an agent will come out a winner. There are no shortcuts or part-time efforts; it’s daily work, building connections, attending meetings, and closing deals. For these agents, their daily work is their own thriving enterprise.
