How Yasin Valimulla Conquered Dubai’s Luxury Market 2025

REAL ESTATE1 month ago

Yasin Valimulla left the UK in 2009 with just £2,000, resilience—and a dream.Starting in student housing and small home investments, he pivoted to Dubai’s elite real estate scene. Today, he sits at the top of the market with his company, The Luxury Address, specializing in high-end beachfront and branded residences. His journey is proof that grit and vision can transform a humble start into luxury mastery.

Early Struggles: From Blackburn to Dubai

Yasin grew up in Blackburn, a small town close to Manchester. He studied Spanish, spending 18 months in Malaga, Spain, while traveling extensively along the Costa del Sol—an experience that planted the seed for his global ambitions. Returning to England to work in real estate, his career hit a wall during the 2009 crisis. But instead of folding under pressure, he pivoted. A bold decision and relocation to Dubai set him on a path of high-stakes luxury property. Arriving with minimal funds, his early days were about survival and hustle.

Breaking Into Elite Real Estate

Through hard work and strategy, Yasin earned roles at top real estate giants:

Fine & Country UAE (2009–2017): As Associate Director on Palm Jumeirah, he led a team of 12 and closed high-value deals.
Keller Williams (2017–2019): Oversaw sales of AED 750 million across Palm villas.
Knight Frank Middle East (2019–2023): As Associate Partner, he launched major branded residences like Royal Atlantis.

Each step sharpened his client-centric skills and extended his network of high-net-worth investors.

The Luxury Address: A Vision Realized

In June 2023, Yasin launched The Luxury Address, a boutique advisory firm for ultra-luxury beachfront and branded residences. With deep market insight, personalised service, and off-market access, his firm quickly thrived. One standout deal? A spectacular AED 36 million penthouse in Atlantis The Royal, yielding a 185% return on equity.

Lifestyle of a Tiger Investor Broker

Yasin’s life today reflects his brand: beachfront mornings, luxury showings, and exclusive client engagements. He’s often seen walking in Palm Jumeirah’s Al Etihad Park—where he bumped into a past client grateful for following his advice—highlighting how strong relationships and timely insights pay off.

Lessons from the Luxury World

“Work with someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart… Longevity comes from being client-centric and building genuine relationships.” Yasin lives by this. His philosophy is simple: in ultra-luxury real estate, trust and bespoke service matter more than flashy marketing.

He blends trend awareness (active on social media, event presence) with unwavering professionalism—a combination that sets him apart.

Building a Legacy Beyond Property

Beyond selling homes, Yasin is a mentor. Through masterclasses and coaching, he shares insights with other advisors. And he’s diversifying: earlier, he founded Mancave-UAE, a men’s grooming line featuring products made across India, Hong Kong, and the UK.

What’s Next: Global Expansion

Yasin aims to open a Marbella office soon—expanding beyond Dubai’s beachfront market into Spain, fueled by his early Marbella experience. For now, his expanding empire continues to attract sophisticated investors and dream-home seekers worldwide.
