EUROPE — DUBAI

Clarity before
commitment.

Independent Dubai strategy for investors, founders and internationally mobile families.

Before the property search, the relocation or the business setup, take a step back. Understand what you want to achieve — and whether Dubai fits the bigger picture.

01 / THE ADVISORY

A considered starting point.
A clearer way forward.

Start with the objective.
Then consider Dubai.

Investing, relocating and establishing a business are different decisions. Each deserves its own questions — and a view of how it connects to the rest of your life.

My work begins with your interests, before you commit to a property, provider or structure.

01Property & investment decisionsPurpose before property

Clarify the role a Dubai property would play in your wider plan, the alternatives worth comparing and the incentives behind the advice you receive.

“What am I asking this investment to do for me?”

02Relocation & residenceLook at the whole move

Separate the decision about where to live from decisions about business, property and capital. Identify the practical questions and specialist input your move requires.

“Does the move work for the life I actually want?”

03Founders & market entryEstablishment with intent

Explore why a Dubai presence makes sense for your business, what you need from the market and which decisions to resolve before selecting a setup provider.

“What would a presence here help my business achieve?”

A sounding board for your decisions.
A client-side perspective on your options.

SARAH PATRIZIA

INDEPENDENT STRATEGIC ADVISOR

A long-term perspective.
An independent voice.

I’m Sarah Patrizia, founder of Rooms of Power. After approximately 15 years living and working in Dubai, I’m now based in Europe, bringing a Europe–Gulf perspective to decisions about property, residence and business.

My background includes Dubai real estate and academic study in Business Administration and Economics of the Middle East at the University of Marburg, with an exchange at the American University of Sharjah.

Today, my focus is the thinking that comes before a transaction: clarifying objectives, examining incentives and considering alternatives in their wider context.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before we
begin.

Who is the consultation for?

Investors, founders, executives and internationally mobile families considering Dubai for property, residence or business. It is a starting point when you have a decision to explore and want an independent perspective before committing.

How does your advisory work?

The starting point is your objective. We examine what you want to achieve, how the choices connect and what still needs to be understood. I work as an independent, client-side strategic advisor, rather than as your property sales agent.

Does a consultation include legal or tax advice?

The consultation focuses on strategy, decision clarity and questions to resolve. Legal, tax and regulated investment advice should come from appropriately qualified specialists for your circumstances.

How do I arrange a conversation?

Send a brief outline of what you are considering. We can establish whether the consultation is the right fit, arrange payment and then schedule a time. The fee is €450 for 75 minutes.
