In addition to tried and tested cost metrics and advanced analytical tools, Asteco's greatest strength is undeniably its people. With a qualified staff who know the market, know property and know what it takes to get things done, Asteco remains the consultancy of choice for many of the region's finest real estate projects. As one of the leading experts in the Dubai real estate market, Asteco's CEO, Elaine Jones, has an unprecedented twenty years of regional property experience; not only understanding the market's intricacies, but also a thought leader on emerging UAE real estate trends. She says, "Our twin values of customer orientation and excellence of service will guide us towards long-term leadership and success".
As Asteco constantly strives for excellence, they are proud that this quality is reflected in their reputation. "We stand by our clients throughout the development of their property, offering advice from initial design right through to final sale, helping them navigate property cycles.

At the vanguard of their field thanks to their leading expertise, both in the breadth and depth of our service, Asteco's experience, which spans over two decades, is unmatched in the region. "The result is confidence, trust and success". The last of these is what the team dedicates themselves to achieving for clients.
Sales
One of the core businesses of the company is the sales division. Over the last two decades, Asteco has witnessed a number of historical changes in the regional property market. The major one was the advent of freehold property in Dubai and the availability of ownership to non-nationals. The second is the ongoing regional development boom, which has made the UAE and the region's property market one of the most dynamic in the world.
"Because we've done business before and after the freehold laws came into effect, Asteco has unparalleled insight into the dynamics of this transition, and indeed helped usher the new era in by providing services to developers and to first time buyers in Dubai. Thanks to our history of expertise, we have helped institutional and individual buyers and sellers make sense of, and take advantage of, these new realities", Jones explains.
As one of the premier brands in the region, Asteco has also been at the forefront of the Dubai property upsurge, acting as sales agents for such high-profile projects in Business Bay, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and Buildings by Daman (DIFC), The Palm, Jumeirah and Sheikh Zayed Road. "Our experienced, professional sales team also offers its services throughout the GCC. There are Asteco offices across the UAE, as well as in, Bahrain, Jordan and Qatar, with plans for further regional expansion. We now represent numerous major institutional, commercial and residential clients across the region".
To provide the best in service and support, the Asteco sales division works closely with their in-house research, consultancy and valuations team. "In addition, we have established a global alliance with Savills a leading international real estate agency, guaranteeing the greatest depth and breadth of property sales expertise in the region", she concludes.
