In this episode of The Steven Leckie Podcast, I sit down with someone I’ve known for over 20 years, my good friend, colleague, and fellow mentor in many ways, Paul Sharland, Off-Plan Director at haus & haus.
Paul and I go way back. We’ve worked together, learned from each other, and been part of each other's journeys in Dubai real estate for years. So this isn’t just another interview, it’s a genuine conversation between two people who’ve seen the city, the industry, and each other evolve.
We talk about how we first met, Paul’s early career (including a chapter in Marbella), and how he broke into Dubai real estate. Paul shares the story of his first deal, what’s changed over the years, and what he believes still matters most for success.
We also dive into:
- What it takes to be a great broker in Dubai
- His advice to newcomers and those relocating to the city
- Why he believes you need to truly love Dubai to sell it
- His top picks for food spots in the city
- And a few personal stories we’ve never shared publicly
Whether you're in real estate, thinking of moving to Dubai, or just want a peek into the friendship and business journey of two guys who’ve grown together in this market, this one’s worth watching.
