Brown & Ferguson co-owner Zay Brown joined the cast of STARZPLAY and Image Nation Abu Dhabi’s new reality TV show, Million Dollar Listing UAE. After being dubbed “the newcomer” Zay responds with “I maybe the youngest but I am beyond resilient”
In an interview with FACTs she responds to questions about her journey in UAE real estate and her time on the show, read on below to learn more.
I actually finished my degree in Politics and International Relations at Southampton University, and I had no idea what I wanted to do. I got accepted into Law School, and I realised that I didn’t want to wait eight years to get money in the bank. I took a leap of faith – I applied for a job and two weeks later, I moved out here to work for White and Co Real Estate.
I definitely don’t take no for an answer. I’m resilient. I learned that it’s okay to be vulnerable. I never showed that before, especially on camera. It’s okay to have your lows and highs.
Well, I can honestly say, I do have expensive taste. I recently purchased a car, which was a convertible Mercedes, which is my baby. I love buying Christian Louboutin shoes, and these are my babies. I do appreciate the finer things in life, but I am still in the early stages of my career, so there is nothing that crazy.
People will see a different side to the UAE, which they haven’t seen before. The show is already an established, Emmy-nominated chain. It’s the first time that Million Dollar Listing moved overseas. People need to watch it and see the reality, and the hustle and bustle of the amazing country. Also, this is a real melting pot, which you don’t get in the United States. It’s important to see the diversity, different storylines and how we work alongside each other.
Plus, I’m not the top broker or a top performer, but what I am is passionate and committed. I want people to realise that and relate to it. It’s not always about the top performer, it’s about your passion and drive.
