Dubai’s real estate brokers played a pivotal role in boosting the market in the first half of 2025, contributing to 42,181 transactions with a total commission value of AED3.23 billion, according to the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
This marks a 99% increase in brokerage commissions compared to H1 2024, when commissions stood at AED1.62 billion.
The surge comes alongside a notable rise in the number of registered brokers, with 6,714 new brokers licensed in the first six months of the year. The total number of active brokers in Dubai now stands at 29,577, underlining the sector’s continued growth and influence in facilitating property transactions across the emirate.
Women brokers are also playing a growing role, executing 13,424 transactions and generating AED1.43 billion in commissions during the same period. This highlights increasing gender diversity in the field and the expanding contribution of women to the sector’s development.
Beyond transactions, brokers are serving as critical links between buyers, sellers, and developers, enhancing transparency, investor confidence, and market maturity. Supporting services are also expanding, with 1,223 brokerage offices and 78 valuation offices employing 118 licensed valuers to meet growing demand for integrated property services.
Meanwhile, 2,426 Real Estate Services Trustees Offices facilitated 114,848 transactions and served 86,398 customers—a 15% increase in customer activity year-on-year—further reinforcing Dubai’s infrastructure for real estate transactions.
The sector’s performance aligns with Dubai’s long-term vision to position the emirate as a premier global hub for real estate investment, powered by strong public-private partnerships and a regulatory environment that promotes trust, efficiency, and growth.
