About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Start Your Real Estate Career on Sheikh Zayed Road — No Experience Needed
Ever looked up at the Dubai skyline and thought, "I could sell that"? If you've got the energy and the drive, we'll teach you the rest. We're hiring real estate sales staff to join our team in API World Tower, right on Sheikh Zayed Road — you know, the one you can practically reach out and touch from the World Trade Centre Metro Station. This is a direct hire within the company, which means no middlemen, no agency runaround, and no "we'll keep your CV on file" — you'd be walking in as part of the team from day one.
About Us
We're a leading real estate brokerage based in the heart of Dubai's business district, and we've built our reputation on something pretty simple: doing right by our clients and by each other. The office sits in API World Tower, which means stepping out for lunch comes with a view most people only see on postcards — and the Metro is literally next door, so the commute is about as painless as Dubai gets.
We're at that exciting stage where we're growing fast but still small enough that every new hire actually matters. Friday mornings tend to get a little loud when deals close, and there's a running debate about who makes the best karak in the office. If you're starting out, you won't be thrown in the deep end alone — you'll learn alongside people who remember exactly what it felt like to make their first sale.
What You'll Be Doing
- Get to know buyers, sellers, and tenants — and genuinely figure out what they're looking for, not just what they say
- Show properties across Dubai, from sleek Downtown apartments to family villas in the suburbs
- Learn to price, list, and market properties properly (we'll teach you the tools and the tricks)
- Handle viewings, follow-ups, and negotiations — the bread and butter of the job
- Keep your pipeline organized and your clients updated, because silence loses deals
- Lean on your teammates when you're stuck, and return the favor when they are
- Build your own book of clients over time — this is a career, not a shift
What You'll Bring
Must-Haves
- A valid UAE driving license (you'll be on the road a fair bit)
- Comfortable communicating in English — additional languages are a genuine plus in this city
- Drive, curiosity, and the willingness to hear "no" a few times before you hear "yes"
- Based in the UAE and ready to start
Nice-to-Haves
- Any customer-facing experience — retail, hospitality, call centers, you name it
- A second language (Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi — Dubai's a melting pot)
- Basic comfort with CRM tools or social media, though we can train this
Not sure you tick every box? We'd still love to hear from you. Seriously — some of our best people walked in with zero real estate background.
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Salary plus commission — steady income while you find your feet, with uncapped earning potential as you grow
- Commission-only option for experienced agents who'd rather bet on themselves
- Direct hire, no agency — you're part of the company, not a placement
- Real training for beginners — structured onboarding, shadowing, and mentorship
- Prime location — API World Tower, next to World Trade Centre Metro Station
- Career growth — top performers move into team lead and senior roles
- A team that actually helps each other — no cutthroat nonsense
Real estate in Dubai rewards people who show up, stay curious, and put in the work. If that sounds like you — whether you're fresh out of university or switching careers entirely — this could be the start of something genuinely good.
Common Interview Questions and Tips
To help you prepare and feel confident, here are some questions you might encounter during the interview process for this role.
- Walk me through how you'd handle a client who's interested in a property but keeps postponing the viewing — what does your follow-up actually look like?
- You're showing a family a villa in the suburbs, and halfway through they mention they're also considering an apartment in Downtown. How do you keep the conversation productive without pushing them toward something they don't want?
- Tell me about a time you had to learn something completely new, fast. How did you go about it, and what did you take away from the experience?
- Dubai's property market moves quickly and the rules around listings and pricing aren't the same as everywhere else. How would you get yourself up to speed on a new market without someone holding your hand the whole time?
- A deal you've been working on for weeks falls through at the last minute. What do you do in the next 24 hours?
- Describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult or unhappy customer. What did you do, and what would you do differently now?
- How comfortable are you with the idea of hearing "no" repeatedly before you close your first deal? Give me a real example of how you've handled rejection before.
- If a colleague who's competing for the same client asks you for help with their pitch, what do you do?
- What draws you to real estate specifically, rather than sales in another industry?
- This role involves a lot of time on the road and a lot of conversations with strangers. How do you keep your energy up on a slow week?
- If you had to describe how you build trust with someone you've just met, what would you say you actually do?
- We work as a team here — no cutthroat stuff. Tell me about a time you helped someone else succeed, even when it didn't directly benefit you.
- Where do you see yourself in two or three years if this goes well — and what would you want to have learned by then?
