Chris Whitehead

Spear’s Review

Managing partner at Sotheby’s International Realty in Dubai, Chris Whitehead began his career in real estate at the age of 18.

He now specialises in prime property sales in the UAE. With such an influx of demand from HNW clients, Whitehead’s vision for Sotheby’s Realty is to establish it as the ‘largest and most prestigious property brokerage in the GCC’ within the next five years.

Whitehead is also managing partner of Sotheby's International Realty in the UK but his operational focus is entirely on the middle east, with a client base stretching from London to east Asia taking in a lot of India. 'Dubai is seven days a week for me. I see clients daily: from banking through to wealth managers, all the sales go through me,' he said.
