Joelle Raad
Senior Director
Joelle is an industry specialist with over 10 years of experience, but her relationship with Dubai runs far deeper than that. She has grown up in the city and has witnessed its monumental growth firsthand, from the launch of freehold properties in the early 2000s to the surge in branded residences that have reshaped the market in more recent years.
A background in hospitality and marketing has honed Joelle’s client-centric mindset and she has positioned herself as an advisor who always keeps client interests at the forefront. This drives her approach in every negotiation and allows her to seamlessly navigate the most delicate transactions. She has also previously worked with luxury brands such as Bulgari, giving her a keen insight into the psychology of high-net-worth buyers and the elements that most matter to them.
Joelle’s initial foray in real estate was in the rental space, from which she transitioned into sales. She is equally adept at advising on resale or off-plan sales, with extensive knowledge of key areas of the city and prevalent market trends. Over time, her role has expanded beyond the world of real estate - high-net-worth clients moving to Dubai for the first time require a comprehensive lifestyle solution and Joelle has refined her approach so she can guide them in the right direction.
Patience and perseverance are among her other key traits - Joelle has been working with several clients on lengthy transactions, most of which reached fruition in 2025 and led to her most successful year to date.
Joelle is a big believer in the continued potential of Dubai, as the freehold market is still quite young in comparison to its global counterparts. There are limitless opportunities for wealth creation, strengthened by the city’s physical and digital infrastructure.
With a client-led advisory approach and a strong understanding of both the fundamentals and the intricacies of Dubai real estate, Joelle can guide you toward finding your new home or the most lucrative addition to your portfolio.
