Aquino Plotado, a Filipino real estate agent based in the United Arab Emirates, has completed a landmark 1 billion dirham (P15 billion ) off-plan project on Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. He worked with his former employer, fäm Properties.
Plotado, now an independent broker in Ras Al Khaimah, established himself as a leading expert in the region. He has a history of exceptional sales, including two plots in Umm Al Quwain, multiple apartment units on Marjan Island and a luxurious 17-million-dirham penthouse in the Danah Bay project by Dubai Investments, located near the UAE’s first casino.
Plotado’s decision to bring the 1-billion-dirham deal to fäm Properties highlights his collaborative approach and business acumen. During his 10 months at fäm Properties, he nearly finalized a 1.5-billion dirham hotel deal on Marjan Island within his first month, demonstrating his ability to manage large transactions in a competitive market.
“Focusing on Ras Al Khaimah was one of the smartest decisions I made,” Plotado said.
“It allowed me to build stronger relationships, gain unparalleled market knowledge, and serve clients with the highest level of expertise,” he said.
Plotado’s talents extend beyond real estate. He recently produced the short film As The Call, So The Echo, which was a finalist at the 11th Emirates Film Festival, winning Best Actor for Enzo Pineda and Best Director for Rusty Palacio Guarin. It also received nominations for Best Child Actor (Prince España) and Best Film.
Demonstrating his commitment to philanthropy, Plotado donated P1 million to his alma mater, Potrero National High School in Malabon City through his Aquino Plotado Philanthropy Foundation. His contributions included nine printers, a sound system and cash gifts for 28 teachers and over 100 former classmates.
With a strong track record, a passion for giving back and a vision for regional expansion, Aquino Plotado is redefining success as a real estate entrepreneur in the UAE.
