In a Crowded Market, Phoenix Homes Proves the Power of Real Leadership

Two of Dubai’s Top 20 Real Estate Professionals Come from the Same Brokerage

Dubai, UAE – June 2025: With thousands of agents competing in one of the world’s fastest-paced property markets, Dubai real estate has become as much about standing out as it is about selling. In this competitive climate, brokerages are pressured to offer more than just a desk—they must offer vision, support, and leadership.

That’s why the latest Finance World list of the Top 20 Real Estate Professionals in Dubai has sparked conversation. Not one but two of the industry’s recognized pioneers—Myles Bush and Shah Malek—come from Phoenix Homes, a firm built on the belief that agents deserve trust, autonomy, and real rewards.

“Dubai is full of brilliant agents. The real question is, are brokerages giving them what they need to thrive?” This statement was made by Myles Bush, who is the Founder and Chairman of Phoenix Homes. “Top agents don’t want to be micromanaged. They want to be trusted, valued, and paid fairly. That’s the model we built Phoenix around.”

Bush, who launched Phoenix in 2020, introduced a radical 80% commission structure, placing Phoenix among the highest-paying brokerages in the region. But the model goes beyond numbers—it’s rooted in a culture that empowers agents to work on their terms.

Shah Malek, Off-Plan Director and fellow honoree on the Finance World list, brings a profound understanding of both customer relationships and investment-led strategy. Under his leadership, Phoenix has become a major player in Dubai’s off-plan market, especially across emerging master communities.

The recognition of both leaders is more than a personal accolade—it reflects a wider shift in what agents expect and what brokerages must become if they want to attract top talent.

“Leadership matters. Culture matters,” said Malek. “You can’t ask agents to give their best if you don’t give them the environment to succeed. This is what Phoenix stands for—and this recognition shows we’re on the right track.”

As Dubai’s real estate market matures, brokerages are being forced to evolve. Phoenix’s rise—and its leadership recognition—signals a blueprint for the future: one where agents come first.
