Nestled in the Persian Gulf lies the Kingdom of Bahrain – an island nation home to vibrant cities, picturesque coastlines, rich culture and more than 1.5 million residents.
Now it’s also home to a REMAX brokerage.
Headed by longtime industry entrepreneur Sarie Abukhalil, REMAX Premier is a new, growing brokerage with big plans to scale operations and create a lasting local presence.
“Joining REMAX has been both a strategic and passionate decision for us. Bahrain is a growing market with international appeal, and being part of a globally trusted brand like REMAX instantly elevates our credibility and reach,” Abukhalil says.

“REMAX Premier in Bahrain is just getting started – and our roadmap is ambitious,” he adds.
Goals for the brokerage, according to Abukhalil, include growing the enterprise with talented, forward-thinking agents, introducing specialized divisions for luxury and commercial real estate, and becoming the go-to business in Bahrain for local and international clients seeking top-tier real estate services.
Abukhalil is also excited to tap into the power of the global REMAX network of over 145,000 agents across more than 110 countries and territories. Through major events, powerful referral tools and more, REMAX affiliates connect with one another to build valuable business partnerships across continents.
“The REMAX network allows us to bring world-class standards, global referrals and unparalleled training opportunities to our agents, clients and partners in the Kingdom of Bahrain,” Abukhalil says. “REMAX is more than a brand – it’s a community of professionals who are setting the bar in real estate across the world, and we’re proud to represent that here in Bahrain.”

Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Global and Commercial, says the brokerage is ready to be a leader in Bahrain’s real estate industry.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome RE/MAX Premier to the REMAX community,” Gilbert says. “The leadership of this brokerage is poised to provide more consumers with best-in-class service for their important real estate transactions.”
Gilbert notes how a new presence in Bahrain exemplifies the REMAX brand’s continual growth on a global scale. Last month, REMAX expanded its unmatched international footprint into Côte d’Ivoire, furthering the brand’s prominence across Western Africa.
“For serious entrepreneurs, the benefits of being aligned with an internationally renowned brand are immense. The global presence of REMAX gives professionals a competitive edge and provides them access to a world of fresh ideas, unique perspectives and lasting friendships with other ambitious business owners.”
