How to become a real estate agent in the UAE

To become a real estate agent in the UAE, you need to follow a series of steps and meet specific requirements set by the relevant authorities. Here’s a general guide to help you get started:

Meet the Basic Requirements

Age: You must be at least 21 years old. Education: A high school diploma or equivalent is typically required.

Choose Your Emirate

Each emirate in the UAE may have slightly different regulations and requirements for real estate agents. The most common emirate for real estate activity is Dubai, so this guide will focus on Dubai's requirements. If you plan to work in another emirate, check the specific requirements for that location.

Obtain a Residency Visa (if applicable)

If you are not a UAE national, you will need to have a residency visa. This is typically sponsored by your employer.

Join a Real Estate Brokerage

To work as a real estate agent, you must be associated with a registered real estate brokerage in Dubai. This brokerage will sponsor your application for the RERA broker card.

Register with the Dubai Land Department (DLD)

Ensure you are registered with the DLD as a licensed real estate professional. This step is often facilitated by your brokerage.)

Maintain Your License

Stay updated with any continuing education requirements and renew your RERA broker card as needed. The renewal process typically involves additional training and fee payment.
