Accolades underscoring betterhomes’ strength in leading global investors

Louis Harding, CEO of betterhomes, earned the Global Ambassador Award for his outstanding leadership and active engagement in the LeadingRE network. His efforts amplify betterhomes’ global reach, ensuring clients gain seamless access to high-value real estate markets beyond Dubai.

“Being recognised by LeadingRE is a testament to the power of global partnerships,” said Louis Harding. “At betterhomes, we champion collaboration and innovation, setting the standard for excellence that transcends markets and borders.”

The Referral Accelerator Award recognises firms that demonstrate strong and measurable growth in outgoing referrals, validating betterhomes’ deeply connected network and its ability to facilitate cross-border investor needs.

Leveraging Global Wealth Migration Trends

Dubai’s real estate market continues to attract international investors, and betterhomes’ global network ensures clients can capitalise on shifting trends:

• UAE: Projected net inflow of +9,800 millionaires in 2025, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a leading hub for global capital.
• UK: Expected net outflow of –16,500 millionaires, creating opportunities for Dubai-based investors to diversify abroad.
• Saudi Arabia: Projected net inflow of +2,400 millionaires, reflecting the Gulf region’s rising appeal.

Beyond Dubai, investors are increasingly exploring top-tier markets such as London, New York, Singapore, Spain, France, and Greece, drawn by transparency, liquidity, and long-term growth potential. Greece, with prime destinations including the Athens Riviera, Thessaloniki, and Crete, offers EU access via its Golden Visa programme and relatively low entry thresholds ranging from €250,000 to €800,000 in key hotspots.

“Being locally rooted and globally connected means our clients benefit from neighbourhood-level insight with world-class reach,” said Fabio Lombardi, Director & Head of Global Affiliates at betterhomes. “Whether clients are expanding their portfolios in Dubai or exploring prime investment opportunities abroad, we deliver confident decisions and smooth cross-border moves.”

betterhomes serves as a trusted gateway to these global markets, facilitating seamless cross-border investment. Through its international referral network, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International®, betterhomes connects clients to high-growth opportunities worldwide.
