Who We Are
~Who We Are~
Founded in 2023 by managing director Arlette J. Yao, Jaay Havens was built on the belief that real estate should be both profitable and purposeful. Starting with short-term rentals, the company has expanded into a cross-border business, now focused on property development, investment sourcing, and premium property management. Operating in Dubai, London, and Abidjan, we help clients access world-class properties, smart financing, and high-yield investments tailored to their unique goals. With close industry connections, we seamlessly connect the dots between property sourcing, bank lending, and property management, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for our clients.
~Our Vision~
To become a trusted name in international real estate by creating beautiful, secure, and high-performing properties that elevate lives and deliver lasting value. Across continents and markets, our mission remains the same: to connect people with properties that feel like home and perform like smart investments. Every project we undertake is grounded in integrity, global perspective, and a passion for excellence.
~Our Philosophy~
At Jaay Havens, we believe real estate is more than bricks and mortar, it’s about creating value, building trust, and improving lives.
We are guided by a simple but powerful principle: every property should offer both a lifestyle and a return. Whether we’re sourcing an investment or designing a residence, we operate with integrity, clarity, and purpose.
We value:
- Excellence in quality, service, and project delivery.
- Transparency in how we communicate and operate
- Opportunity for our clients, partners, and the communities we serve
What began as a passion for hosting has grown into a multi-market platform grounded in vision, resilience, and long-term thinking.
~Our Mission~
Jaay Havens' mission is to provide clients with the best possible real estate experience. We strive to exceed expectations at every turn, providing not just beautiful properties but exceptional service that transforms houses into irresistible havens.
