Episode Details

Is Dubai property flipping coming to an end, or is the market simply entering a new phase?

In this episode of **Dubai Stars Podcast**, founder of Costa Global is here for an honest conversation about the future of the Dubai real estate market, off-plan property investment, market corrections and global opportunities beyond the UAE.

Mario shares his journey from becoming a real estate broker in Dubai to building his own agency and expanding internationally into **Thailand, Phuket, Bali and Vietnam**.
