Biography:
I was born in Moldova, raised in Romania and seasoned in the Middle East. I am a working mother of two beautiful kids and married to a Frenchman. I grew up as a bilingual child and speak 4 languages fluently: Romanian, Russian, French and of course English.
In 2008 I followed my future husband to the Middle East and instantly, I fell in love all over again. I remember the heat when a stepped off the plane in Dubai, quite a change for someone who had lived their whole life in quite a change for someone who had lived their whole life in European climates. The excitement of a new life had begun and after all those years now as a resident in Dubai, I can say that I have been blessed in so many ways and I am grateful to my faith for leading me down this path.
My passion for Real Estate started once my 2 children were more independent as this gave me the time and possibility to embrace a new career. Starting as a broker all came naturally; being open, friendly, positive and adaptable to communicate with so many cultures. I soon realized that I had found my dream job. The responsibility of leading a client, providing market knowledge and being there to help them move house and settle not only brings satisfaction but also a lot of happy memories. I associate my job with that of the exclusive boutiques of prêt-à-porter brands. I treasure my relationships with my client’s and in more cases than not – they become friends. My fulfilment is my clients satisfaction.
As a Client Manager with Exclusive Links, I predominately work in the Arabian Ranches developments. It’s where I live and where I know and so I can pass first-hand knowledge to my customers and be on the spot for viewings and for looking after my property listings and customers.
Lastly, my name is Raisa which means "female president" in Arabic. Since learning this I started to see my name from a different angle. I might not be a president, but for sure I am a loyal leader to all my owners, sellers, buyers and home searchers.
