Asiya Khasnutdinova

Associate Director

Few advisers can claim to operate as smoothly in the prime property sphere as Asiya Khasnutdinova, Associate Director at Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty. 

Her solid understanding of Dubai’s most sought-after properties, coupled with her discretion and impeccable client representation means that her client base will tend to use her services more than once.  

Asiya represents the leading light in Dubai’s luxury waterfront development sales, focusing extensively on Bulgari Resort & Residences and Jumeirah Bay Island. She believes that specialisation is key, and super prime waterfront developments have now become her niche, where Asiya has positioned herself as the “go-to” person for everything pertaining to this

market segment. She continues to serve a growing niche of local and global HNWI who seek premium properties defined by exclusivity and bespoke features, as such Asiya is one of the few people around who can connect the dots.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and an MBA from Georgia State University in the USA, along with specialised studies in Financial Mergers & Acquisitions at Sorbonne University in Paris, Asiya cultivated a profound understanding of both financial markets and real estate investment.

Asiya launched her career in finance in the United States, having worked with some of the world’s leading financial institutions, including Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch/Bank of America. In 2012, she transitioned into real estate and became one of the top-producing realtors at Sotheby’s International Realty in Atlanta. Her focus on luxury condominiums, and penthouses earned her a stellar reputation for service excellence. 

At Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, her global expertise allows her to anticipate the nuanced needs of a diverse clientele and offer premium one-to-one service. Asiya takes the responsibility to protect her clients' interests very seriously and considers the trust and referral business received from them among her greatest accomplishments.

Asiya continues to invest herself in people which is highly evidenced not only by her career progression in real estate but also the extent to which she committed to charity work. She has raised substantial funds for the Alzheimer’s Association GA USA as part of Dancing Stars of Atlanta and championed charity for EDIN (Eating Disorder Information Network) through the Celebrity Dance Challenge. 

A particular passion for Asiya outside the realm of real estate is Ballroom Dance. She was a five-time champion in Northwest Russia and proud owner of a successful dance studio in the US, with a YouTube channel of 500k subscribers. 

Asiya is fluent in English and Russian.
