Track record & evidence
Every figure used on this site, defined — what it means, where it comes from, and how to verify it.
Authority claims on this site follow one standard: each figure has a clear definition, a stated source, and honest labelling. Figures described as internally reported are Saad Waqas’s or Amber Homes’ own cumulative business records — they are presented accurately, but they are not independent financial audits.
USD 1 billion+ in cumulative personal sales
The cumulative value of real-estate transactions personally advised, sourced or closed by Saad Waqas across his Dubai career since 2013. This is an internally reported cumulative figure and is not presented as an independently audited financial statement.
1,000+ properties sold
The internally documented cumulative count of individual property transactions personally handled by Saad Waqas since 2013, across off-plan, ready, luxury and portfolio transactions.
USD 1.5 billion+ in Amber Homes cumulative sales
The company-reported cumulative transaction value of Amber Homes Real Estate since its founding in Dubai in 2017. As with the personal figure, this is an internally reported company record.
12+ years of Dubai real-estate experience
Saad Waqas has worked in Dubai real estate continuously since 2013.
