Frequently Asked Questions: Brokerage License

What is the difference between RERA registration and DLD property trader registration?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) licenses individual brokers and brokerage companies for professional real estate transactions. DLD (Department of Land and Townplanning) registers property traders and manages all property transaction records. Both registrations are required.

How much professional indemnity insurance is required?

Individual brokers require minimum AED 500,000 professional indemnity insurance. Brokerage companies require AED 500,000 to AED 2,000,000 depending on company size and annual transaction volume. We arrange insurance on your behalf.

Can expatriate brokers obtain RERA licenses in Dubai?

Yes, expatriate brokers with valid UAE visas can obtain RERA licenses. Proof of professional experience and qualifications is required, but nationality is not a barrier to licensing.

What is the client trust account requirement?

Brokers must establish a dedicated client trust account to hold customer deposits and earnest money. This account is separate from the broker’s operating account and is subject to RERA audit.

How often must brokers renew their RERA license?

RERA licenses must be renewed annually. We provide renewal support at discounted rates for existing clients, typically costing AED 2,500 – 4,000 per renewal.

Are real estate courses available in Dubai for broker certification?

Yes, several RERA-approved training institutions in Dubai offer broker certification courses. These courses typically last 4-8 weeks and are required for broker licensing. We can recommend approved providers.

What are common reasons for RERA license rejection?

Common reasons include incomplete documentation, insufficient professional experience, previous regulatory violations, inadequate insurance, or failed background checks. We conduct pre-application reviews to prevent rejections.

Can I operate multiple brokerage companies under one license?

No, each brokerage company requires separate RERA and DLD registration. However, you can appoint multiple individual brokers under one company license.
