An Exclusive Feature for “Voices of UAE: Stories That Inspire” by DXB News Network
Dubai is a city where dreams take root, and success becomes a reality for those willing to work hard and persevere. Few stories exemplify this spirit better than that of Vikram Jakhar, a trusted real estate professional whose story reflects resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief in integrity. From humble beginnings to becoming a key figure in Dubai’s thriving real estate sector, Vikram’s journey is both inspiring and a testament to the opportunities this vibrant city offers.
Vikram’s fascination with Dubai began in 2005 during his first visit to the city. “I still remember the taxi ride from the airport,” he shares with nostalgia. “I was surrounded by towers under construction—projects unlike anything I had ever seen. Even as a young man, I knew I wanted to return and be part of Dubai’s growth story.”
His older brother’s success in Dubai’s real estate market in 2008 further strengthened this dream. Determined to follow his passion, Vikram took a bold step in 2019: leaving behind a secure, high-paying job in New Zealand, he moved to Dubai to write his own success story
Vikram’s arrival in Dubai coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought unforeseen challenges. His savings disappeared quickly, and he found himself living in a small, windowless room with mounting debt. “It was a prison-like situation,” he recalls. “But I refused to let doubt win. I focused on finding a way out.
This resilience paid off when Vikram secured an opportunity with one of the city’s largest real estate firms in September 2020. That moment became the turning point in his journey of rebuilding his life and career.
Before coming to Dubai, Vikram worked in New Zealand with a multinational insurance company during the aftermath of the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. “That experience taught me to guide people through rebuilding their homes and lives,” he reflects. “It instilled in me the importance of trust and relationships—values that now guide me as a real estate advisor.
For Vikram, integrity is at the heart of everything he does. “To me, integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching,” he explains. “It’s about prioritizing the client’s best interests above all else.”
This philosophy resonates in his day-to-day work, where he believes that real estate is not just about transactions but about building lasting relationships.
One of Vikram’s standout success stories involves a client, Ruth, who initially hesitated about investing in Dubai South. “She wanted a secure investment but was uncertain about the area’s potential,” Vikram explains. After detailed research and insights, he presented Dubai South as a future growth hub.
“Back then, villas were priced at AED 1.3 million. I knew the infrastructure developments would drive demand,” he says. Today, Ruth’s villa has appreciated to AED 2.9 million, reflecting 120% growth. “This is what we aim to do—identify opportunities early and help clients make informed, rewarding decisions,” Vikram shares with pride.
Vikram attributes much of his success to deep market knowledge and preparation. “If a client mentions a project or layout, I should immediately know the details—size, views, pros, and cons. Knowledge builds confidence, and confidence builds trust.”
At Gold Stallion Real Estate, where Vikram plays a key leadership role, the focus remains on empowering clients with data-backed advice and clear insights. “We help clients navigate the market with transparency and understanding, ensuring they feel confident about their investments,” he explains
Vikram envisions expanding into international markets such as New Zealand, Australia, and the Americas to connect global investors to Dubai’s dynamic opportunities. “Dubai is a global hub, and we aim to bridge opportunities for investors worldwide,” he says
A unique initiative that aligns with Dubai’s vision is Gold Stallion’s commitment to offering UAE Golden Visas to clients purchasing properties valued over AED 2 million. “The Golden Visa adds long-term value for investors by offering residency benefits,” Vikram shares. “It’s not just about buying a property; it’s about securing your future in Dubai.
For those new to real estate, Vikram’s advice is simple:
● Research Thoroughly: Understand key areas and market trends.
● Define Your Goals: Know whether you want rental income, capital appreciation, or long-term security.
● Start Small: Build confidence with manageable investments.
● Work with Trusted Advisors: Expert guidance ensures clarity and success.
● Focus on Prime Locations: Invest in areas with strong infrastructure and development plans.
Reflecting on his journey, Vikram takes immense pride in overcoming adversity and helping his clients make life-changing investments. “Resilience, hard work, and integrity have been my guiding principles,” he says. “Dubai rewards those who dare to dream and put in the effort.
Vikram believes that Dubai’s real estate market will remain a cornerstone of the global economy, offering unmatched opportunities for growth and innovation in the coming decade. “The future of Dubai is bright, and I am proud to be part of its incredible growth story,” he concludes
