Biography

During the last 17 years I have acquired a wide ranging & comprehensive knowledge of the Dubai Property Market. I have continually developed my sales & negotiation skills & advanced my core competencies beyond effective. During the financial crisis I reacted quickly to take advantage of the international opportunities, I co-founded a UK based property company. I focused on the Sales & Marketing of North American homes w/ section 8 tenants to investors in search of high yield income generating portfolios. Then continued Dubai career as Project Director of Mada Residences, where I successfully created & firmly established a Devt. Advisory & Off Plan Project Mgmt. Dept. I reported directly to the CEO & Project Owner and achieved 500 + million AED sales. This role allowed me to evidence & demonstrate my broad-based skill set & experiences. I now continue my Dubai Real Estate journey as Sales Director of the Marina Plaza office & look forward to growing my team of professionals to 100 +.

For those who are serious about making a life changing career in real estate, fäm Properties, Dubai Marina working with the Sales Director Dean Darby is the only place to be. Dean is a one of a kind leader who has been one of the most successful agents in Dubai since the mid 2000's his insights and guidance can take a dedicated and professional agent from zero to unlimited earnings. I cant imagine working with anyone else, anywhere else. I am a senior agent at fäm and still learn something new every day working with Dean Darby.

I’m writing this review for my amazing manager, Mr. Dean Darby. Since the day i joined this company, I have never once had a reason to think negatively about him. Having worked in his office for 20 months, I’ve never felt the urge to leave his team. I’ve always seen him working tirelessly day and night, always available to support his team 24/7, even on weekends. His leadership, management, and support skills are unmatched. More than just a manager, he is a true leader who has taught me so much about selling and business. He will always be the best.

I would like to share an honest and heart-felt review.. When I started in this overwhelming industry “REAL ESTATE” in Dubai with the largest Company “Fam Properties”, i thought to myself i’m going into a huge mess and a big step, where I had no background in real estate at all. However, i would like to highlight that my Director Dean Darby has been nothing but exceptional in the way he cascaded everything i need to know about this industry plus to top it all off, i learned super beneficial insights from his training program which was a game-changer. The comprehensive market insights and effective sales techniques I learned equipped me with the skills and confidence needed to become a top performer and succeed in Dubai's competitive real estate industry.

I recently worked on a property purchase deal with agent Farzona and Karen from fam properties. It was a pleasant experience from the start which was mostly with Farzona to locate the right kind of property and various viewings. Then it was negotiation with seller which was also conducted quite professionally by her. The team of Farzona and Karen completed all deal closure aspects within committed timelines and I also had the opportunity to meet with their team leader Dean. I must say its a hard working and committed team and am happy to recommend them to anyone looking into real estate Dubai.
