Natalie Williams, once a familiar name in New Zealand’s real estate circles, has catapulted herself onto the global stage, establishing a formidable presence among Dubai’s ultra-wealthy property investors. Her journey from Auckland’s North Shore to the opulent corridors of the UAE’s real estate market is nothing short of inspirational.
🏡 From Auckland Beginnings to Real Estate Maven
Williams’ foray into real estate began with Harcourts Cooper & Co on Auckland’s North Shore. Her initial success was marked by securing the listing for the $350 million Amaia development, collaborating with ex-All Black Troy Flavell. This experience ignited her passion for off-the-plan property sales, particularly those appealing to investors.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges. Lockdowns in Auckland made property transactions arduous, prompting Williams to pivot once more. She contracted with the New Zealand government, leveraging her PR and marketing expertise to assist businesses in recovery efforts. Subsequently, she joined an Australasian firm specializing in property investment education, managing sales for 14 developers and contributing to transactions totaling $6.4 billion.
🌍 Establishing Wealth Creators in Dubai
Driven by a vision to operate on a global scale, Williams identified Dubai as the ideal location to launch her own property investment agency, Wealth Creators. Despite skepticism from peers, she recognized the emirate’s booming real estate market and its appeal to international investors. Her agency aims to provide opportunities for clients worldwide, including New Zealanders, to invest in Dubai’s lucrative property sector.
Williams’ unique blend of real estate acumen, marketing prowess, and coaching experience positions her as a trusted advisor for investors seeking to navigate the complexities of international property markets.
💡 A Legacy of Empowerment and Resilience
Beyond her professional achievements, Williams is deeply committed to community service. She founded the suicide prevention program “I’m Unbreakable,” reaching over 50,000 at-risk youth through school initiatives and hip-hop dance engagements. Her dedication to mental health advocacy underscores her holistic approach to success, emphasizing personal well-being alongside financial prosperity.
