"Appointing Savills as our international marketing agents, will dramatically increase our exposure to international investors and other industry professionals around the world. We are confident that this will open up new markets for us and, in turn, drive increased awareness and interest in Ras Al Khaimah as a quality destination, with value-driven investment opportunities, with solid and sustainable returns," said Barry Ebrahimy, Head of Commercial, Al Hamra Real Estate Development.

"We look forward to working with Al Hamra, which is a first for us in Ras Al Khaimah," said Charles Weston Baker, Head of International Residential Agency at Savills. "This is a win-win partnership allowing access to our international network to promote Al Hamra's extensive portfolio of premium quality homes."

Ras Al Khaimah's residential sector reported strong sales in Q2 2015, with consistent demand for its high profile projects and robust occupancy and rental rates for its quality competitively priced villas and townhouses.

The thriving Emirate is also gaining an enviable international reputation for its stable economic growth and the ongoing government investment into its infrastructure as well as rapid advancement in the trade, industry and tourism sectors. 

"Ras Al Khaimah's growing population has also seen the numbers of expatriate residents swell in recent years, and this has prompted the need for the provision of professional property management and maintenance for investors and end users - and this is where we come in," said Ebrahimy.

"As well as local property transactions, re-sales and letting services, we can also now assist Ras Al Khaimah-based investors with international property purchases," he added.

The Al Hamra team of international real estate experts also provides consultancy services for developers across a wide range of disciplines including development consulting, sales and marketing, hotel operator selection assistance and market feasibility studies.
