Here's a typical day in the Life of Antonella Sciberras:
7 AM: My day starts bright and early—I’m usually up by 7 AM. In real estate, no two days are the same, but I believe in sticking to the basics. After a refreshing meditation session, I head out for a morning walk, followed by making a comforting cup of tea and a healthy breakfast. I know I’m not supposed to look at my phone first thing, but I can’t resist checking in!
10 AM: By the time I get to the office, I dive into new inquiries and consider time differences to book calls. I meticulously plan my diary for the day, ensuring I’m prepared to follow up with clients who need my attention. From morning to evening, every aspect of my day is geared towards delivering unparalleled service, backed by in-depth market knowledge and a deep understanding of Dubai’s real estate dynamics.
12 Noon: By noon, I’ve wrapped up my local calls and emails, which means it’s time for viewings! If I do not have viewings on the day, I tend to focus on social media. I love showcasing the stunning properties I have access to in Dubai, letting my audience know I’m ready for business!
2 PM: If I don’t have any viewings scheduled, I take a well-deserved lunch break. I often walk around a nearby mall, aiming for 2,000 steps while catching up with relatives and friends over the phone. It’s a perfect blend of productivity and personal connection!
4 PM: As the afternoon unfolds, I transition to meetings with potential buyers and sellers, often navigating the city’s busy traffic. These in-person sessions are invaluable for building trust, whether I’m showcasing a new listing or negotiating a deal. Beyond client meetings, I also connect with other trusted advisors in the same niche, such as property valuers and legal consultants, to exchange market insights and strategies.
6 PM: Early evening often involves wrapping up Zoom calls with clients or industry peers to discuss everything from pricing trends to upcoming project launches. If the day’s pace slows, I like to fit in a workout session—unless I managed to do that in the morning. On days when I’ve already exercised, I’ll meet a friend for dinner or take the time to catch up with family back home.
However, in this line of work, evenings can easily extend beyond regular hours. When urgent deals require immediate attention, I might find myself working late into the night to ensure that every detail is ironed out, providing my clients with the seamless experience they expect.
