Our Team

Ben Thomas brings over two decades of experience in the Dubai real estate market to his role as Head of Brokerage at LCRE, where he oversees the brokerage’s day to day operations, setting the standards of accountability, productivity and service that define the LCRE experience for both clients and agents.

Prior to joining LCRE, Ben spent over five years at AX Capital Real Estate, most recently as Head of Secondary, having previously served as Sales Director. In these roles, he was responsible for leading sales performance across the secondary market, building structured, accountable teams and driving consistent results in one of Dubai’s most competitive brokerages. Before AX Capital, Ben served as Sales Manager at Engel & Völkers Dubai, and prior to that spent thirteen years as Managing Partner at Emirates Homes, where he built the business from the ground up from 2004.

Across each of his roles, Ben has developed deep expertise in company development, taking businesses and departments from early foundations to performance driven structures capable of sustained growth. He is particularly known for his ability to translate strategic planning into day to day operational discipline, ensuring that departments understand their roles and responsibilities and are held accountable to clear standards. Equally central to his approach is team leadership: Ben has consistently built teams that are motivated, cohesive and aligned around shared goals, and has a track record of shaping company culture in a way that supports both morale and measurable performance.

At LCRE, Ben brings this full range of expertise to bear, strengthening the brokerage from within while ensuring the organisation continues to operate with the accountability, structure and culture needed to scale.
