Saleh Tabakh, CEO Delta Real Estate, is a doer. His vision is his passion, and he believes in churning wonders and that too in real time. The articulate developer-consultant, and founder of Delta Real Estate from Syria, has a mission, and that is to overcome impossibility when it comes to business.
While Saleh deals with property, real estate, investments, finances and development-related issues, his humane side has no ends.
Saleh's success story is a telling tale. He is humble and deeply understands human psyche when it comes to moneymaking choices in life. He says he started from scratch and founded his own company in 2014. He avidly remembers his origins in Dubai as a young lad who never knew what to do to the billions he now deals with in confidence. 
Elucidating his role, he says he is not a property broker, per se. "I'm a developer and have a roadmap for complete end-to-end services for my clients". Saleh says dealing with real estate, in his view, is not just about brokerage and the commission involved, but a broader role wherein the developer-cum-consultant is at the beck and call of the investor/client.
He says it is part of his passion to take care of client as a holistic solution provider. "From property management to civic services provision and pricing to regulatory issues and from interior decoration of a property to bank affairs, and from planning to execution of a project, I believe I have a role to play to make the customer feel secure and homely." 
He says Delta Real Estate deals as a complete property management organ, and is involved minutely from brokerage to handover of property. "We also offer services that helps client manage his/her property and ensure safe returns in the best possible way."
Saleh says he believes in bridging the gap between the developer and the end-user, and this is where the trust and credibility is involved. "We fix problems at any stage of the deal and our intention is to do away with conflict of interest between various stakeholders in the project. It's taking care of an issue from A-to-Z. This is where our managerial skills and leadership is evident," Saleh proudly boasts with a broad smile on his face.
The state-of-the-art service that Delta believes in delivering is to customise it in the way the client wants to have it. It means taking care of any necessary up-gradation and decoration, as well as special interiors, and initiating new inputs such as leasing and managing the property as per requirement. "Services are my product. That is my pride. These tailor-made services make us the people's people," the CEO remarked.
The Delta chief calls it "full control management", and terms it as his pride service and specialty.
Delta is currently seized with projects to the tune of Dh7 billion, and its flagship venture consists of 500 villas, 12 buildings, a mall, a hotel, and a golf course. The project called 'Living Legends' is, indeed, legendary in essence and is one of the most outstanding and promising development mega-real estate piece of work in Dubai. "Our projects are relaxing and liveable, and offer a perfect aura of privacy."
Saleh has a deep insight when it comes to advice on property, and says that any real estate offering of more than Dh3 million is not doing well. He said the investor today is more interested in services that any piece of property brings with it, rather than the price tag. "This is why developers and consultants who cannot deliver to what the client expects would be left way behind."
Forecasting an uphill trend, Saleh said sustainability and higher standards, as well as maturity is the buzzword for success, and Dubai has a boom period in times to come. 
Dubai is expected to be even more attractive in the near future due to its social sustainability and safety aspects, which in the past year have been the most attractive features.
