What does it take to go from landing in Dubai with just $150 to becoming one of the city’s most trusted real estate brokers? In this episode of Dubai Life, Toghrul Mehdiyev shares his incredible journey. From cold starts and low commissions to closing over 80 units in SLS and building a reputation grounded in trust, not just transactions. We explore the mindset that separates top agents from everyone else, why off-plan resale is one of the most overlooked opportunities in Dubai right now, and how many agents are leaving money on the table by chasing hype instead of real value. Toghrul also opens up about the personal discipline and spiritual practices that power his day-to-day success, and offers advice for buyers on what they should really know before trusting their next agent. Whether you’re a real estate agent looking to level up or a Dubai investor tired of the sales noise, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
