KAROLINA DEAN

Managing Director & Co-Founder

Karolina runs Dean Property day to day: buyers, tenants, landlords and our listings. Living in Ras Al Khaimah since 2022, and the broker people recommend when someone in RAK's community groups asks for one. “I know who is building, what they are building, and where the next phase is going before it is launched.”

WHO WE ARE

We live in RAK, and we've done this before.

We're Karolina and Giles Dean. Between us we've practised law in the City of London and built businesses in 10 countries, and Giles advises the Dubai Government on a major mixed-use development.

Then we chose RAK: we live in Al Hamra Village and founded Dean Property here.

So you get the rigour and experience of an institutional adviser from people who see what brochures leave out: where RAK is building next, which developers you can trust, and what a home is really worth. And the site you're looking at? We've probably camped on it.

HOW WE HELP

Buying, renting or letting in RAK

BUYING

Off-plan, compared for you

Projects compared on price per sq ft, payment plan, handover date and likely rent. The developer pays our fee, so you pay us nothing.

RENTING

A home, paperwork done

We find a home that fits your budget and handle the contract and registration. Our fee is 5% of a year's rent.

LANDLORDS

Letting or full management

We find tenants, or look after your home for you. Letting: 5% of a year's rent. Management: 7% of the rent, minimum AED 500 a month.

Fees exclude 5% VAT.

WHY RAK

RAK is home to 450,000 people. By 2030, 650,000.

Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's northernmost emirate. Beaches and islands on one side; Jebel Jais, the country's highest mountain, on the other. For years it was the quiet option.

Not any more. Wynn opens the UAE's first casino resort here in 2027, and new homes and hotels are following. For tenants, that means more homes to choose from. For landlords and buyers, more people who want to live here.

Karolina was wonderful - she helped us to rent out house in Al Hamra Village.

She found a tenant and help with them moving in- took a lot of the pressure from us which was really helpful.

Definitely will ise her services again.

Highly recommend to use this agency!
