Our Story

Built From Transactions.
Engineered for Scale.

Residence was founded in 2021 with a single mandate: build the most operationally advanced luxury real estate practice in the MENA region — not by hiring more people, but by engineering better systems.

Within the first year, we closed high-value transactions in Beirut's luxury segment and expanded into Dubai off-plan. By 2025, we had built ResidenceOS — a proprietary AI operating system that runs lead qualification, listing copy, pipeline management, and business intelligence automatically.

Today, 80–85% of our operational workflow runs autonomously. The remaining 15–20% — viewings, final negotiation, contract signing — stays human. That is the model.
