Moroccan real estate broker in Dubai

What a real estate broker does in Dubai

Brokerage is regulated by RERA, the regulator attached to the Dubai Land Department. A broker represents a buyer, seller or landlord, finds and presents properties, negotiates, prepares the official forms and follows the deal to registration.

Two things are not part of the job: receiving the purchase price, and deciding for you. Funds follow the DLD procedure or go to the project's escrow account; the decision stays yours, documents in hand.

The RERA licence

To practise, a broker must complete the Dubai Real Estate Institute training, pass the exam and obtain a professional card. They can only work for a company holding a brokerage trade licence registered with RERA. Every listing must carry a DLD permit issued through Trakheesi. Check any broker, me included:

• The broker's name in the list of RERA-licensed brokers.
• The card number through RERA card verification (mine: BRN 83239).
• The company in the list of licensed brokerage companies (Cevitas Real Estate: ORN 49294).
• The permit of each listing with licence and permit verification.

The official contracts

Dubai brokerage relies on standard RERA forms, which set out in writing who represents whom and for what fee:

• Form A: listing agreement between the seller and the agency.
• Form B: agreement between you, the buyer, and the agency representing you.
• Form F: memorandum of understanding between seller and buyer on a resale (price, deposit, deadlines, fees).
• The developer's SPA for an off-plan purchase, then Oqood registration.

I go through each document with you in French, Darija or English before you sign.

How my commission works

Off-plan, the agency commission is paid by the developer: you pay the developer's published price. On resale, it is usually 2% of the price, paid by the buyer and stated in Form B and Form F. Nothing is asked of you that is not written before you commit.

Why a Moroccan broker

A Moroccan broker brings three things to a Moroccan buyer: the family's language, knowledge of both ends of the payment (Morocco and the country of residence, including the Office des Changes framework), and a shared reading of what a family expects from a property.

But nationality never replaces the licence. That is why my numbers are everywhere. For the day-to-day steps, read a real estate agent in Dubai for Moroccans and MREs, or see what a real estate expert in Dubai should do for you.
