At ExpatKey Properties, we believe that great real estate decisions are powered by data, not guesswork. Abdullah spearheads our data innovation — transforming market insights, demographic trends, and development analytics into actionable strategies for our clients and partners.

We track everything that matters — infrastructure investments, migration flows, developer performance, and even sentiment data — to help investors, developers, and homebuyers make confident, future-focused decisions.
