Dubai's waterfront, read honestly.
I advise on Dubai's beachfront villas and golf course estates. Every price I give you comes from registered sales, not the brochure.
Meet Andrea
The honest answer, even when it is no.
I work with owners and international buyers on Dubai's waterfront and golf course estates. My prices come from the land registry, not the brochure. And you will always hear the truth from me, even when it is "not this one".

How I work
Advice before a sale.
If a home is priced well, I'll say so. If it isn't, I'll say that too. Sometimes my advice is simply to wait.
Registered prices.
Every figure I quote comes from Dubai Land Department sales, with its date and its source. I don't work from asking prices.
The coast, specifically.
Beachfront and waterfront homes, and the golf estates just behind them. That is the whole of my work, and the Palm is home.
Coastline and community outlines © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), October 2026. Positions approximate.
Where I work
Forty-five kilometres of coast, and the estates behind it.
Everything I advise on sits on this map, from the beach and the islands to the golf and lagoon communities a short drive inland. Scroll, and I will walk you along the coast.
The Jumeirah coast
Where land has run out.
Jumeirah Bay, the Dubai Peninsula, La Mer and Pearl Jumeirah. Rare beachfront beside Burj Al Arab, with only a handful of homes and owners who seldom sell.
Palm Jumeirah and the harbour
The Palm is home.
The benchmark for waterfront prices in Dubai. Close by, Bluewaters and Emaar Beachfront are there for buyers who prefer an apartment.
The new coast
Two islands still being built.
Palm Jebel Ali to the west, Dubai Islands to the east. Entry prices are lower, and you pay for that in time, distance and delivery risk.
Golf, lakes and lagoons
Inland, you buy space.
Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills, Jumeirah Golf Estates and the lake and lagoon communities around them. More land for every dirham, for families who want a garden.

For owners
Selling or letting? Start with the real number.
I price your home against registered sales in your own building or frond, then present it privately to buyers I already advise. You won't get an inflated valuation from me just to win the listing.

Insights
All insights Three things worth knowing.
Market
"Zara is never next to Hermès."
At this level, buyers pay for who lives next door as much as for the house. Why your neighbours are part of the price.
AddressesSeven of the ten biggest deals face the sea.
The sea is what the wealthiest buyers pay most for. Here is what that means for your shortlist.
