Better Homes Project Sales & Marketing Enters the International Arena

With high levels of experience and expertise, established in the UAE Market working on illustrious projects such as The Green Community, The Cove at Ras Al Khaimah, Al Fattan Marine Towers and Ogyana at The World Islands, this year looks likely to be the best yet for the increasingly successful division.

In the same way they contract in specialists such as; architects, engineers, and project managers, more and more developers are recognizing the importance of allocating a similar resource for professional marketing and sales. In doing so, their team stays lean and overheads are minimized without compromising on quality or industry expertise.

As pioneers in the UAE market and having successfully marketed projects for the last three years, the Better Homes team has seen an increase in the number of operators entering the field in the last 12 months. The move has been welcomed by Walter Hart, Director of Project Sales & Marketing at Better Homes, “the increased competition has forced us to raise the bar even further and has encouraged us to remain at the top of our game”. As market leaders, Hart’s team of 34 have the added advantage of a client database of 16,000 buyers and potential buyers at their disposal.

The experience developed in the Dubai market is now being used to undertake projects in the international arena. Having already completed a number of projects overseas including Pakistan and Northern Cyprus in 2006, the time has come for the team to forge forward into other international markets.

In particular, efforts are being concentrated on emerging markets, with developers keen to sign a company with a proven track record in Dubai. “Opting for similar markets means we already have an understanding of the complications of assignments in these markets better than most” commented Hart, adding that “for us, international expansion has been slower than we would have wanted but we felt the extra time was necessary to enable us to do proper due diligence.” In places such as Turkey, Morocco and Cyprus this is a lengthy, but essential process to protect the brand and ensure its ability to serve clients effectively.

“These are exciting times for us but these markets are not being entered on a whim. Each one has been properly investigated including everything from the developer to all legal aspects to ensure that we have the confidence to sell the product.” Hart added.
