“I’m very confident I’m a really good buyer’s agent, but being a business owner is quite challenging. It’s a whole different skillset that you need.”
After 11 years at Boral, Abdullah launched Mecca Property Group in May 2021. His technical background provided an advantage in property assessment, particularly when evaluating investment opportunities. He positioned his firm to serve time-poor business owners and expats with substantial wealth seeking the right team around them.
Abdullah develops tailored investment strategies based on client circumstances. For cash-conscious investors in the current high-interest environment, he focuses on yield-positive properties across Australia. For high-income earners seeking tax benefits, he identifies growth-focused opportunities with manageable negative gearing. His commercial property division has secured impressive deals including properties with leases extending up to 23 years.
“When I joined BAI in December 2020 and jumped onto the course in January, I never imagined we’d achieve this level of success so quickly.”
Recently, Abdullah has shifted from working in the business to working on it, expanding his team to five members and pursuing his Master’s in Property Development. His vision extends beyond buyer’s agency to land development under the Mecca brand.
“Surrounding yourself with high-performing people is critical. That’s how you’re going to level up.”
