Betterhomes, Dubai’s longest-standing real estate agency, has announced a leadership transition as Richard Waind, its former CEO, steps down to lead Cencorp as CEO. Louis Harding, who has served as Betterhomes’ Managing Director for the past 18 months, has been appointed the new CEO.

This strategic change marks a pivotal moment for both organizations, emphasizing growth, innovation, and the expansion of services in the UAE’s dynamic real estate market.

Richard Waind’s Journey to Cencorp

Joining Betterhomes in 2017, Richard Waind has been a transformative figure, guiding the company through years of growth and innovation. His efforts culminated in the establishment of Cencorp in 2020, which has since evolved into one of the UAE’s leading real estate service groups.

Under Mr. Waind’s leadership, Cencorp’s portfolio has diversified beyond real estate, encompassing sectors such as professional services, e-commerce, and built environment solutions. The group now includes thirteen companies, such as Betterhomes, Linda’s Real Estate, PRIME by Betterhomes Luxury Real Estate, CRC Commercial Real Estate, and DesignFit.

Commenting on his new role, Richard Waind stated, “The Dubai and UAE real estate market is a hub of innovation and growth. We are incredibly optimistic about its future, sustainability, and the wealth of opportunities it presents. At Cencorp, our vision is to continually enhance our integrated services, leverage the expertise of our exceptional people, and embrace cutting-edge technology to lead the way in this dynamic market.”

Cencorp: A Growing Real Estate Service Group

Since its inception in 2020, Cencorp has quickly established itself as a leader in the UAE real estate sector. The group’s success lies in its ability to integrate diverse services under one umbrella, including:

• Real Estate Sales and Leasing: Through companies like Betterhomes and Linda’s Real Estate.
• Luxury Real Estate: With PRIME by Betterhomes.
• Commercial Real Estate and Valuations: Through CRC.
• Design and Fit-Out Services: Through DesignFit and Strata Global.
• Technology and E-Commerce: With entities like Openhub and Waterdrop.

Cencorp’s holistic approach positions it as a one-stop solution for real estate and related services, driving value for clients and investors.

Louis Harding: The New CEO of Betterhomes

Stepping into the role of CEO at Betterhomes is Louis Harding, who brings over 20 years of experience in the luxury real estate markets of the UK and UAE. Since joining Betterhomes, Harding has been instrumental in fostering international partnerships and driving the company’s growth.

Reflecting on his new role, Harding said:
“It’s an absolute privilege to be the CEO at Betterhomes, the longest-standing real estate agency in Dubai. 2024 was an incredible year, laying strong foundations for the future, and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. A big thank you to Linda Mahoney, Ryan Mahoney, and Richard Waind for their trust and support.”

Betterhomes: A Legacy of Leadership

Founded in 1986, Betterhomes is one of Dubai’s most recognized real estate agencies. The company has consistently adapted to market changes, leveraging its strong legacy to remain at the forefront of the real estate industry. Under Harding’s leadership, Betterhomes aims to continue its tradition of excellence while expanding its market presence.

Strategic Vision for the Future

Both Betterhomes and Cencorp are poised for significant growth in the coming years. Key priorities include:

1. Global Expansion: Building international partnerships and entering new markets.
2. Technology Integration: Leveraging advanced tools to enhance client experiences and operational efficiency.
3. Sustainability: Aligning with Dubai’s vision for sustainable urban development.

As Richard Waind takes the helm at Cencorp and Louis Harding steps into his new role at Betterhomes, both organizations are well-positioned to lead Dubai’s real estate market into the future. Their combined expertise and strategic vision will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of the industry, driving innovation and growth.
