A lean, expert team combining deep Beirut market knowledge with the most advanced AI operations in MENA real estate. Founded 2021. Built to last.
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.
Ali founded Residence in 2021 with a vision to build the most AI-driven luxury brokerage in MENA. He leads all technology, strategy, and AI systems — including ResidenceOS, a proprietary operating system that automates every revenue workflow.
Hussein leads all human-facing operations — property viewings, client advisory, final negotiations, and contract signings. His deep knowledge of Beirut's market and his approach to client trust make him the face of Residence on every deal.
We built our own AI operating system so nothing falls through the cracks.
Whether you're buying, renting, or investing in Beirut or Dubai — we're here.
