Dubai Real Estate Reality Check: Mitch’s Rolex Dream and Market Challenges

In this episode of The Utterly Indispensable Podcast for Estate Agents, I reconnect with Mitch in Dubai to see how his real estate journey is unfolding — and whether he’s any closer to that elusive Rolex goal.

Since our last conversation (one of the most popular episodes we’ve ever released), the Dubai property market has toughened, and wider global uncertainty has added to the challenges — including the tense backdrop of US–Iran relations at the time of recording.

Yet, what’s striking is how familiar many of these obstacles feel, no matter where in the world you’re selling property. From client expectations to shifting market dynamics, the themes remain universal.

Join us as we dive into Mitch’s progress, the realities of working in Dubai real estate, and the lessons every estate agent can take away, wherever they are.
