What you need to know
With the real estate market booming in Dubai, many people are becoming real estate agents. The Dubai real estate market is regulated by two government bodies, RERA and the Dubai Land Department.
A Broker Card is required to work as a real estate agent. The names of Broker Card holders are published on the Dubai Land Department website. Real estate agents working without a Broker Card are illegal.
To ensure that you are satisfied and that he meets your criteria for buying or renting a property, you need to choose the right real estate agent. Check that the agent is licensed and listed on the Dubai Land Department website, ask for his card and verify it by entering the card number shown on the website. What’s more, since he’s not licensed, he won’t be able to help you if you have a dispute with a developer or tenant. With the authorities, you’re not protected. What’s more, the quality of their work is catastrophic, and many people regret having dealt with them.
There are between 10,000 and 20,000 fake real estate agents in Dubai. The French-speaking market in Dubai is the one with the most fake agents.
If you realize that the agent you were in contact with is a fake, you can report it to the Dubai Land Department, and within minutes the complaint will be filed on the website.
