๐ก In this episode of Golden Nuggets, we dive head first into the often-underestimated world of leasing in Dubai with Jake Fletcher, Head of Residential Leasing at Engel & Vรถlkers.
We unpack why leasing is the real foundation of success and why it's usually the smartest entry point for new real estate agents. From how to build a powerful network, to the transition from leasing to sales, Jake breaks down the numbers, the mindset, and the strategies that set agents apart.
We also bust some myths about leasing, reveal what landlords and tenants really need to know, and explore why area specialization matters more than ever.
