Breaking Barriers: How an Ocley Agent is Redefining Success for Women in Real Estate
Four deals closed. Nine weeks to go until motherhood. One powerful message: women can do it all — and more.
At a time when most people would be slowing down, Emire Tugce, a rising star at Ocley Properties, is doing the opposite. In just the last month, she closed four property transactions in Expo City, setting a new benchmark not just for herself — but for what’s possible for women in real estate.
From New Agent to Top Closer — in Under Two Years
Emire entered Dubai’s competitive real estate market less than two years ago — with no prior background in the industry. What she did have was a sharp instinct for people, strong emotional intelligence, and a relentless work ethic.
Like many women in male-dominated industries, she had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously. And she did — consistently showing up, learning fast, and building deep trust with her clients.
Now, with just weeks left until her due date, she’s having one of the best months of her career.
Expo City Project
The Power of Momentum — and a Supportive Culture
The four deals she closed weren’t flukes — they were a result of months of groundwork. She focused her efforts in Expo City Dubai, a fast-emerging smart city zone attracting long-term investors and end-users alike. She knew the product, understood her clients, and aligned every detail from price negotiations to handovers — all while navigating doctor’s appointments and preparing for the biggest role of her life: becoming a mother.
But the difference-maker? A company culture that doesn’t treat pregnancy as a pause — but as part of the journey. At Ocley, Emire wasn’t asked to “slow down” or “wait until later.” She was empowered to run at her own pace — and it paid off.
More Than Just Sales — A Statement
This month wasn’t about numbers. It was about making a statement. That motherhood and ambition are not mutually exclusive. That women in real estate deserve better than to be underestimated. That with the right support system — both at home and in the office — women can build empires, families, and legacies, all at once.
Why This Matters
Dubai real estate needs more female leadership — not less.
Women don’t need less ambition — they need more opportunity.
Companies that support working women win, every time.
To all women navigating their careers, goals, and personal lives — you don’t have to choose just one. And if you’re looking for a real estate team that supports your full potential, you’ll find it at Ocley.
