CASE STUDY: How Sarah Mitchell from the USA Turned Her Dubai Investment Dream into Reality with La Foret Real Estate
From Miami to Dubai — How One American Investor Found More Than Just a Property
Meet Sarah — A Visionary Entrepreneur Ready for New Horizons
Sarah Mitchell, a 36-year-old entrepreneur from Miami, Florida, had built a life she loved.
A thriving digital marketing agency, a beachside condo, and plenty of stamps in her passport.
But by late 2024, she felt it was time to think bigger.
Beyond Miami. Beyond the U.S.
She wanted to invest somewhere global, dynamic, and future-focused.
Her search led her straight to one place: Dubai.
“Dubai felt like the future. Everywhere you turned, there was opportunity, ambition, and a belief in what’s possible.”
— Sarah Mitchell, Dubai Investor
The Challenge: Familiar Market? Not Exactly.
While Sarah knew real estate back home, Dubai was a whole different game:
- How did property ownership work for foreigners?
- Which neighborhoods were best for short-term rentals?
- What about taxes, service charges, rental laws?
- Should she buy off-plan or ready properties?
Every website promised “easy investments”—but few offered real guidance.
Sarah knew better.
She needed more than marketing. She needed real, grounded advice.
That’s when she discovered La Foret Real Estate.
The Turning Point: Finding People She Could Truly Trust
From her first consultation with La Foret, Sarah felt she was in good hands.
They weren’t pushing properties.
They were building a custom plan—based on her goals, risk appetite, and lifestyle.
- Rental income vs capital appreciation
- Ready-to-rent vs future developments
- Best locations for international tenants
