Gil Van Gelder
Sales Director
- English, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, German
I started my professional real estate career in Portugal over 16 years ago, however, my experience extends further back than that. Born in Antwerp, Belgium and raised in Faro, Portugal, my family was in the property development business, which played a huge part in my career development. From construction to sales, I was taught from a very young age to understand every aspect of the business from start to finish.
In 2012, I decided to move to Dubai --- one of the best decisions I've made thus far --- and join the team at Espace Real Estate. Between the supportive, motivational environment and our award-winning reputation here in the market, Espace has become like family to me. As a Senior Client Manager in the Sales Department, I specialise in Emirates Hills, Emirates Living Meadows, Lakes and Springs, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Islands developments, although I concentrate on all freehold areas in Dubai.
As an agent, I strive to deliver the best service possible to my clients, providing them with professional advice and guiding them every step of the way through the process. This means providing full transparency, understanding their needs, identifying properties that fit their requirements, negotiating an acceptable price for both buyer and seller and making sure all parties involved leave the transaction happy.
For those looking to buy or sell, I offer this advice: Make sure you are dealing with an experienced broker that truly knows the area and communities where you are looking to buy and/or sell, has up-to-date information regarding recent transactions and last but not least, assured that he or she has your best interests at heart.
I look forward to hearing from you and working together to either get your property sold or find you your next family home. May it be for Investment or to live in, I will give you professional advice and guide you every step of the way.
