Nada Abou-gad
Senior Surveyor, Commercial Valuation
The real estate market in the UAE can be defined as intricate and understanding where to begin your career can be a gruelling process on its own.
After completing my MSc in real estate, I could not wait to apply my technical skills to the market. Cavendish Maxwell’s rotational programme has provided me with the opportunity to not only dip my toes into every aspect of the real estate market but to dive deep into every corner. It is the kind of place where it easy to say you have everything you need for a successful career: reliable and experienced colleagues to teach and guide you, a diverse and vibrant environment you look forward to every morning, access to a range of information and knowledge on the market, and most importantly, a chance to find what you are truly passionate about. There is no doubt that these factors have played a key part in my ability to perform at my best. Cavendish Maxwell sets you up for success, and there is no doubt in my mind that if you want to have a career in real estate, this graduate programme is where you should begin.
Nada joined our Graduate Programme in September 2020 and is now a fully qualified member of the RICS.

Graduate Surveyor, Investment and Commercial Agency
From the very beginning, Cavendish Maxwell made me feel welcome, as making the decision on where to start your career is daunting enough, let alone if you are moving abroad as well.
The graduate programme is an excellent way to experience different verticals of the business, giving you a chance to learn and practice several skills that will be invaluable when you move forward in your career.
I started off my time at Cavendish Maxwell in residential valuations where I got to value some of Dubai’s prime real estate, including taking a speedboat and valuing an apartment on Dubai’s World Islands.
I have now taken a permanent position in the Investment and Commercial Agency team where I have been made to feel very welcome and given lots of responsibility, focusing on the industrial market within Dubai.
Moving to Dubai and joining Cavendish Maxwell has created the environment where I have not only grown in my career but also as a person.

Surveyor, Commercial Valuation
Real estate is an important sector for the UAE economy with plenty of scope for specialisation. I had prior experience in the property segment in India but wanted to further expand my knowledge of the UAE market when I moved here. Cavendish Maxwell’s graduate programme gave me the perfect opportunity to explore the various facets of the industry and develop a solid foundation for my career.
At Cavendish Maxwell I have been able to put all the theory I’ve learned into practice, whilst receiving guidance from a knowledgeable and experienced in-house team of experts. The friendly and vibrant working environment has enabled me to work hard and perform well, and I especially appreciate how individuals in the company treat one another with respect and kindness.
