LuxHabitat Sotheby's International Realty is Dubai's premier luxury real estate brokerage, formed through the partnership between homegrown luxury agency LuxHabitat and the Sotheby's International Realty brand. Founded in 2009 and based in Souk Al Bahar overlooking the Burj Khalifa, LuxHabitat quickly established itself as the market leader for ultra-premium property transactions in Dubai before affiliating with the Sotheby's network. The company is led by a team of experienced luxury property specialists who handle some of the most exclusive addresses in the emirate.
