Default Moving to Dubai and would like to make some friends also

[quote=bart59;13875]Duggy,
My girlfriend and I moved here from the States in October. We aren't exactly young 37, 48 but we have made some really good Australian friends who moved here last summer. We are all in construction and real estate for work. If you are interested let me know. We are lots of fun. Sometimes when we wake up in the morning we realize too much fun

Bart ..Hello Bart
Not quite sure how to use this site yet ..but I am also moving to Dubai in JUn/JUly and looking to make some new friends ..I am 43 female. I used to be involved in property investing. Is it hard to find work in property sales in Dubai without specific qualifications...as I have only worked for myself?

Regards Tracy

Tracy you came to the right place. Carrie and I would love to talk to you about a position with us at RE/MAX where we both work. Carrie is Sales Manager and I am Operations Manager. It is a very strange market over here as a great many of the sales we do are off plan which means they haven't even started construction and the units may not be delivered to the owner for any where from 1-3 years. They are buying air basically. They have long payment plans and usually owe a balance of 30-60% of the cost at turnover.

There is a lot of money to be made here and the good agents are making very large commissions.

The other thing we can do for you is set up some arrangements for you as far as housing before you get here. The hotels are very expensive. We have helped get people into apartments and rooms in villas that are much less expensive than the hotels. We might even possibly have an extra room in our flat by the time you get here. We are leasing a place today on The Palm that everybody always hears about when Dubai comes up.

Keep us informed and we would be more than happy to help you. We do plan on making a trip home to the states around the 20th of July for a couple of weeks.

You can contact us directlhy at bartreh@gmail.com

Hello Bart

I sent an email with further details of my experience in regards to the position mentioned above and would just like to check that you did receive it as I am very keen to discuss further.

Thanks Tracy

I've been in Dubai for 2 months now. I've found it difficult meeting people due to the intense pressure of my work, however, Ogri, from this site, has become a good friend (and his Friday morning hangovers!! LOL Sorry Ogri!) - I met his parents and cousin this week, which turned out to be interesting as I share the same friend as his cousin!!

Anyway, I'm always up for meeting new people, especially from other countries. Give me a shout anytime and welcome to Dubai!
