Dubai's property market is one of the most active and rewarding in the world, and right now - it's hiring. With transaction volumes at record levels and an ever-growing population of buyers, sellers, and renters looking for expert guidance, the demand for skilled, motivated real estate professionals has never been higher.
Whether you're an experienced agent looking for a fresh challenge or someone considering a career change into real estate, Dubai offers a genuine opportunity to build something significant, and Allsopp & Allsopp is the place to do it.
Founded in 2008 by Lewis Allsopp and Carl Allsopp, we've spent nearly two decades building a brokerage that people are proud to work for. We're Dubai's highest-awarded independent real estate agency, but what makes us different isn't the awards - it's the culture.
We invest in our people. That means proper training and onboarding, access to market-leading tools and data, strong marketing support, and a management team that's genuinely interested in your progression. Every manager here has been a broker. They've sat in the same seat, worked the same market, and dealt with the same pressures, so the guidance you get is built on real experience, not theory.
At the top of the business, CEO Carl Allsopp and Chairman Lewis Allsopp each bring over 25 years in Dubai real estate, having navigated every cycle the market has been through. Across the wider leadership team, that adds up to over 250 years of combined experience - and it shapes how people are developed, supported, and set up to perform.
We also believe that the best results come from doing things the right way. Our agents aren't left to figure it out alone, and the structure here is built on guidelines rather than rigid rules - giving brokers enough consistency to stay on track, and enough freedom to respond to what's in front of them.
Living and working in Dubai is an experience in its own right. The city offers a lifestyle that's genuinely hard to match - year-round sunshine, world-class dining and entertainment, outstanding international schools, and a safe, cosmopolitan environment that attracts people from every corner of the globe.
From a professional perspective, Dubai's zero income tax environment means more of what you earn stays with you. The cost of living is manageable relative to the earning potential in real estate, and the city's continued growth - fuelled by population increases, infrastructure investment, and sustained global interest - means the market isn't slowing down any time soon.
For those relocating from the UK, Europe, or further afield, Dubai's expat community is welcoming and well established. The transition is smoother than most people expect, and the quality of life here tends to exceed expectations.
Earning potential in Dubai real estate is among the highest in the industry globally. Agents work on a commission-based structure, which means your income is directly tied to your performance - and in a market like Dubai's, motivated agents can build significant income relatively quickly.
At Allsopp & Allsopp, we operate on a 50/50 split at entry level, with progression to 55% and 60% as brokers develop and perform. What that structure also allows us to do is reinvest consistently into the areas that make a real difference - data, internal systems, marketing, and portal exposure. These aren't cosmetic decisions. They're long-term investments that directly impact both broker performance and client experience.
OTE varies by role and experience, but the market consistently rewards agents who combine local knowledge, strong client relationships, and a genuine work ethic.
Yes - to legally practice real estate in Dubai, agents are required to hold a RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) licence. This involves completing the Certified Training for Real Estate Brokers course and passing the relevant exam.
The good news is that this is a straightforward process, and at Allsopp & Allsopp we support new joiners through it. If you're coming from outside the industry, you won't be thrown in at the deep end - we'll make sure you have everything you need to get licensed and get started with confidence.
We have opportunities across both. Our residential sales team covers Dubai's most in-demand communities - from villa and townhouse markets in Arabian Ranches and The Springs to apartment sales across Downtown, JBR, and beyond. Our lettings division handles one of the city's largest portfolios of residential properties, while our commercial team works across office, retail, and industrial leasing.
Whatever your background or area of interest, there's likely a role here that fits.
Not necessarily. We hire both experienced agents looking to take the next step and motivated individuals who are new to the industry but ready to commit to it. What matters most to us is attitude - a genuine drive to work hard, learn quickly, and deliver for clients.
If you have a background in sales, hospitality, finance, or any client-facing role, you'll find the transition into real estate more natural than you might expect. We'll give you the tools, the training, and the support - the rest is up to you.
