April 2025 marks an incredible milestone for Exclusive Links as we proudly celebrate 20 years in Dubai’s real estate market. More than a business anniversary, this moment reflects two decades of building trust, delivering results, and putting people at the heart of everything we do.
Founded in 2005 by Louise Heatley, Exclusive Real Estate was born from her passion for property and her entrepreneurial spirit. A long-time Dubai resident and one of the city's early investors, Louise saw the opportunity that came with the introduction of freehold sales and carved out a niche for high-quality property management and client-focused service.
In 2011, Louise joined forces with Zarah Evans, a respected industry leader with a background in international sales and marketing. Having relocated to Dubai in 1997, Zarah had already played a key role in promoting the UAE globally as a relocation destination. With the merger of Links Gulf Real Estate and Exclusive Real Estate, the Exclusive Links brand was officially born – and so was a powerful business partnership grounded in shared values.
Over the years, Louise and Zarah have nurtured the business like they would their own home – with integrity, consistency and care. Together, they’ve cultivated a culture where people come before property, whether it’s their clients or their growing team. This people-first philosophy has been key to the company’s longevity and success, allowing them to build genuine relationships and deliver personalised experiences in a fast-paced market.
From award-winning recognition by Property Finder to mentoring women in real estate and launching initiatives like Property Talk from Louise’s Lounge, Exclusive Links continues to grow from strength to strength – proudly standing as one of the UAE’s most respected and reliable brokerages.
As we celebrate 20 years, we also celebrate the journey of two women who came from different parts of the world, united in their love for Dubai, real estate and making a meaningful difference. Their combined leadership has not only shaped the brand – it’s shaped lives, careers and communities.
Here’s to 20 years of people, property, and partnership – and the exciting future that still lies ahead.
Exclusive Links has been a trusted name among real estate brokers in Dubai for 20 years, offering expert guidance to buyers, sellers, and investors.
