Dubai, United Arab Emirates - August 23, 2010: Landmark Properties, one of the largest property brokerage agencies in the Middle East, has announced the appointment of Christiane Murray as Head of Property Management. With over 12 years of experience in the Middle East market, Christiane will be responsible for advising Landmark Properties clients on best practice and standards related to projects in both new and existing developments.
