Founder & Principal Broker, Sofia Sands Realty — RERA 41793. Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, by the numbers.
Every market guide and comparison on this site is written and reviewed under the name you see here — not a content farm. Yitayal Mesfin is the founder and principal broker of Sofia Sands Realty, a deliberately small brokerage registered with the Dubai Land Department (RERA 41793) and working both coasts: prime Dubai and the Ras Al Khaimah waterfront, including the Al Marjan corridor around the Wynn resort opening in 2027.
The house style is the anti-thesis of loud real estate marketing: specific over generic, data over emotion, restraint over hype. Where a number appears in a guide, it is either a published regulatory figure or computed from Dubai Land Department registered transactions — and where a figure cannot be sourced, the guides say so instead of printing one.
Sofia Sands publishes two open datasets, both free to cite:
The same pipeline powers the market figures across our RAK-vs-Dubai guides and Insights.
The house flagship is Bay Views, Hayat Island — a full-floor release of twelve sea-view residences on Floor 9 of RAK Properties' Hayat Island tower, offered as a single transaction, fifteen minutes from the forthcoming Wynn Al Marjan resort.
