Dubai Real Estate Brokerage Sector Doubles in H1 2025, Reinforcing Market Confidence
Dubai’s real estate market has kicked off 2025 with record-breaking performance, driven largely by its expanding and highly professional brokerage sector. According to the Dubai Land Department (DLD), real estate brokers facilitated 42,181 transactions in the first half of the year, generating over AED 3.23 billion in commission income. This represents a 99% increase compared to AED 1.62 billion in the same period of 2024.
This growth reflects increasing investor activity, heightened market confidence, and Dubai’s enduring global appeal as a property investment destination. Neighborhoods like Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Village Triangle continue to attract both end-users and international investors seeking capital appreciation and rental income.
Broker Population Grows Significantly
The number of registered real estate brokers in Dubai has now reached 29,577, with an impressive 6,714 new brokers entering the market in the first half of 2025 alone. This influx is a testament to the growing attractiveness of real estate as a profession and the increasing demand for brokerage services in a rapidly evolving market.
Rising Role of Women in the Sector
Another key milestone is the increased female participation in real estate brokerage. As of mid-2025, over 10,100 women are active in the industry, having executed 13,424 transactions and generated nearly AED 1.43 billion in commissions. This trend reflects women’s growing leadership in property negotiations and their proven ability to foster strong investor relationships.
Market Infrastructure and Support Services
Dubai’s real estate market is supported by an integrated infrastructure of professionals and licensed entities. In H1 2025, the ecosystem included:
- 1,223 registered brokerage offices
- 78 property valuation offices with 118 licensed valuers
- 2,426 real estate services offices playing key roles in document processing and legal compliance
These entities helped execute over 114,848 transactions, serving more than 86,398 customers, a 15% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Their contribution enhances market transparency and drives investor confidence.
Public-Private Synergy Powers Performance
The outstanding performance of Dubai’s brokerage and property services sectors demonstrates the success of public-private partnerships in creating a robust real estate environment. Licensed agents and valuation firms work closely with developers and regulators to ensure smooth processes for both buyers and investors.
Leading developers such as Binghatti, Object 1 Development, and Select Group continue to bring high-quality, investor-friendly projects to market, further boosting activity across prime zones and emerging districts.
Outlook for H2 2025 and Beyond
Dubai’s market fundamentals remain strong going into the second half of the year. Demand is expected to remain resilient across both off-plan and ready properties, particularly in emerging lifestyle hubs such as Dubai Hills Estate, Majan, and Meydan City. With increased professionalism, regulatory oversight, and digital integration through platforms like Dubai REST, investors and homeowners alike can engage the market with confidence.
Conclusion: The exceptional performance of Dubai’s real estate brokers in H1 2025 reaffirms the emirate’s position as a global investment destination. As more professionals enter the field and regulations continue to evolve, Dubai is building a real estate future grounded in trust, growth, and long-term value creation.
