Job Description

Villa Leasing Consultant

Dubai | Hybrid / Community-Based | Commission Only

About Habitare

Habitare Real Estate Brokerage is a boutique Dubai brokerage focused on prime and emerging residential communities.

We have deliberately built the company differently from the large brokerage model. We are a small team, which means less internal competition, fewer layers of management and considerably more room for individual brokers to build their own name, client base and market presence.

We provide the infrastructure of an established brokerage while giving experienced brokers the freedom to develop the working model that delivers the best results.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Leasing Consultant to establish and grow our villa-community leasing business.

This is not a desk-based role built around call targets, unnecessary meetings or activity KPIs.

We want the successful broker to be in their communities, meeting landlords, building relationships, prospecting, securing listings and becoming known within the markets they operate in.

You will have the flexibility to work from our co-working space when useful, from the communities you cover, or remotely where appropriate. We care about performance and standards, not where you spend every hour of the working day.

You will also have the freedom to build your own prospecting and business-development process. If your approach consistently produces listings, clients and transactions, we are not interested in forcing you into somebody else's script.

Why this role is different

At a large brokerage, a broker can spend years developing a community only to find themselves competing internally for the same landlords, protecting future listings from colleagues or sharing opportunities across a large team before they even reach the wider market.

Habitare offers a different model.

As our first dedicated villa-community leasing consultant, there is significant scope to establish yourself across multiple high-value villa markets and build a substantial listing portfolio in your own name.

Rather than inheriting a tightly restricted patch, we want you to identify communities where you see genuine opportunity and build a position within them.

That could mean concentrating initially on one or two exclusive villa communities, establishing strong landlord relationships and then expanding into adjacent markets as your business grows.

The opportunity is particularly suited to an experienced broker who knows they can produce but wants more control over where they prospect, how they work and what they are capable of building.

What you will be responsible for

You will manage the leasing process from business development through to completion, including:

Prospecting and building relationships with villa owners and landlords.
Developing a strong stock of direct and exclusive listings.
Identifying new communities and leasing opportunities.
Marketing and managing residential listings.
Responding to tenant enquiries and qualifying prospective clients.
Conducting viewings and negotiating tenancy terms.
Preparing and progressing leasing documentation.
Maintaining accurate CRM and listing records.
Building long-term relationships with landlords, tenants and future clients.
Developing detailed knowledge of the communities in which you operate.
Cross-selling opportunities across Habitare's wider residential business where appropriate.

What we provide

You will have the freedom to operate independently, but you will not be expected to build everything alone.

Habitare provides:

CRM and brokerage systems.
Internal software and PropTech infrastructure.
Property portal access and listing support.
Company telephone and communications tools.
Brand and marketing support.
Content, photography and property marketing support.
Administrative and transaction support.
Access to our co-working office when required.
Management support without unnecessary management interference.

The objective is simple: give you the infrastructure to spend more of your time building your business and less of it dealing with internal bureaucracy.

Who we are looking for

This is an experienced-broker position rather than an entry-level leasing role.

You should have:

Proven Dubai residential leasing experience.
Strong knowledge of the Dubai leasing process and applicable regulations.
Experience prospecting landlords and generating your own listings.
Strong communication, negotiation and client-management skills.
The ability to work independently and manage your own pipeline.
Confidence operating within villa communities and developing landlord relationships.
Good CRM and listing-management discipline.
A commercial mindset and the ambition to build a substantial personal market presence.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who has reached the point where they no longer need to be told how many calls to make every day.

You know how to broker.

You want the freedom and infrastructure to do more of it.

Working Model

This is a commission-only position, with the structure agreed according to experience, existing production and the working model.

It is a full-time role, but not a conventional office-bound one.

If you are an experienced leasing broker who feels constrained by a large team structure, internal competition or excessive process, Habitare offers the opportunity to build something much more directly around your own performance.

Due to the volume of applications we may receive, applicants with no relevant experience will not be contacted.
