The star of reality hit TV show Million Dollar Listing UAE was celebrating this week after his firm was named ‘Real Estate Broker of the Year’.
Ben Bandari, who features as one of the real estate agents selling the nation’s most luxurious homes in the two-time Emmy-awarded nominated show, was delighted to see BenCo Real Estate pick up the award at the Enterprise Agility Awards, held at the Sofitel Dubai on The Palm.
Bandari has spent over two decades in the real estate market, including leading the sales and marketing of high-end projects such as the remodelled Palazzo Versace condominiums and main residential skyscrapers D1 Tower – both in Dubai. He founded BenCo in 2020 and has achieved sales exceeding 20 billion Dirhams ($5.5billion or £4.3billion) which included defying the early challenges of the global pandemic.
The ‘Real Estate Broker of the Year’ gong was awarded to Bandari by Entrepreneur Middle East – an international business magazine, also based in Dubai, which reports on the latest business and entrepreneur news in the region.
The annual Enterprise Agility Awards honour enterprise leaders and companies who have ‘distinguished themselves’ and ‘demonstrated innovation and outstanding business conduct’ across a range of categories.
