After completing his BTEC studies in the UK and graduating with a BSc in International Business from the University of London, Jay Jay Micallef returned to Malta to join one of the long-established estate agencies on the island as a property advisor and sales agent. He also took up a more active role within his family’s main business, acting as a project manager for various luxury property developments.

“At age 21, I joined a flagship branch of an international real estate company, where I spent two years managing a team of eight people. Although this was a rewarding and prestigious role to have at that age, I realised that my passion lies in property sales. In December 2016, I was given the opportunity to join Michael Bonello, Fabien Debono, Brian Magri and Dylan Micallef in forming a partnership to open a new real estate agency branch on the Pietà Marina, which I could not pass up,” he admits.

At the time, the company was operating under an international franchise, until July 2020, when it rebranded into Alliance Real Estate People. “Although as a partner I am directly involved in the management of the office, most of my time is spent working as a property advisor, mainly on high end properties, SDAs and new developments,” Mr Micallef explain.

Being very entrepreneurial by nature has also led him to get involved in other business ventures across various sectors, including retail and corporate services.

He loves golf, which he started playing when he was 11 and has represented Malta in various international competitions including the GSSE, the Mediterranean Games, the World Amateur Team Championships and many others.

Although Mr Micallef had the pleasure of enjoying many moments of success with the national team, he says that his most memorable moment was becoming the first Maltese player to win an official golf competition on foreign soil, making history for the sport in Malta.

A newly formed real estate agency brand, Alliance is being built on the existent network of strategically located offices around Malta and the wealth of knowledge, professional experience and strong personal relationships of its founding partners.
