Duna House has reached another milestone in its international expansion, making Dubai's property market accessible to Hungarian and Central European clients for both investment and personal purchases.


"Dubai is not only one of the world's fastest-developing cities, but also an increasingly attractive destination for Hungarian businesses and private investors. Due to the business-friendly environment and economic stability, many people are not only buying here, but also establishing companies," said Ferenc Máté, deputy CEO of Duna House. He added that franchise partner Balázs Engel has achieved results in their network over recent years, and his local knowledge of Dubai guarantees he will represent the company ideally in this new market.

Balázs Engel has been part of the Duna House national network for more than a decade, participating in thousands of transactions, with his office ranking among the most successful for an extended period. He now views international expansion as a new business challenge. "In Dubai, everything is in place to offer our clients safe, long-term valuable investments. Full ownership rights, the state guarantee system, world-class infrastructure including the new airport capable of serving 260 million passengers annually, and potential returns can all be attractive to international and domestic investors," he said.

Duna House's Dubai partner provides comprehensive services in Hungarian and English, from property search through legal and administrative procedures to property management. The collaboration aims to bring Dubai market opportunities closer to Hungarian clients in a structured, transparent format.

This expansion fits closely with Duna House's international expansion strategy. The company launched its Spanish sales service in the Costa del Sol region in 2024, which quickly proved successful among Hungarian investors. Experience shows that Hungarian-speaking advisory presence with local knowledge and an end-to-end purchasing process provides not only security but also competitive advantage in international markets.
