Ozden " Dalia" Avsar | Global Realtor | Strategic Advisor
I am a global real estate professional with over two decades of experience across dynamic markets, including Dubai, Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Originally from the west coast of Turkey, I hold a degree in Electronics Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU), one of Turkey’s top institutions, often compared to MIT in the United States. I later enhanced my business acumen with a certificate from the London School of Economics.
My real estate journey began in Dubai in 2004, during the city’s transformation from a desert town into a global hub. I witnessed first-hand the launch of landmark developments like the Palm Islands and Dubai Marina, and was among the early professionals active in the market when foreign property ownership was first allowed. Over 18 years in Dubai, I worked closely with international investors as the city rapidly expanded into one of the most attractive real estate markets in the world.
Following a personal transition, I relocated with my children to Toronto, Canada, where I became a licensed realtor and successfully served the Greater Toronto Area for eight years. I later moved to Southern California, continuing my real estate career until the COVID-19 pandemic, during which I also obtained my mortgage license to support clients with refinancing.
As many in my client base—particularly Turkish, Middle Eastern, and Persian investors—began migrating to the Dallas, Texas area, I expanded operations there, building a thriving real estate business that continues to grow. In addition to Texas and California, I now actively work in the Mexican market, offering strategic investment opportunities for international buyers seeking income-generating properties and Airbnb assets.
My focus is on helping international investors navigate high-potential real estate markets across the U.S., Canada, Dubai, and Mexico, with a commitment to long-term value creation and personalized service.
