    Dubai Brokerage Commissions Surge 31% to $3.7 Billion in 2025

    The emirate’s brokerage industry has evolved from a transactional service into a major economic driver, supported by stringent regulatory frameworks and a growing base of professionally licensed agents operating across residential, commercial, and investment property segments.

    Dubai Land Department figures show broker-led transactions climbed 54% to 96,440 deals in 2025, demonstrating the sector’s central role in maintaining market efficiency as property values and transaction volumes continued their upward trajectory.

    Women Drive 83% Commission Growth

    Women brokers emerged as a major force within the sector, completing 28,909 transactions—a 49% increase—and earning AED2.98 billion in commissions, reflecting 83% growth year-on-year.

    By year-end 2025, women accounted for 11,371 of the 32,294 registered brokers in Dubai, underscoring the sector’s capacity to attract diverse talent within a competitive and equitable professional environment.

    The performance demonstrates the impact of inclusive licensing frameworks and professional development initiatives aimed at expanding participation across demographic segments.

    Broker Numbers Expand 38%

    The influx of new real estate brokers rose to 13,083 in 2025, representing a 38% increase from the previous year as the profession gained appeal amid sustained market momentum and attractive commission structures.

    Registered brokerage offices reached 9,785, operating under regulatory standards designed to balance market expansion with service quality and consumer protection.

    The emirate’s property market recorded AED60.60 billion in transactions during February 2026 alone, maintaining the momentum that has driven brokerage sector growth.

    Emirati Broker Development Programme

    Dubai Land Department has prioritized national talent development through initiatives including the Dubai Real Estate Brokers Programme and the Real Estate Brokers Incubator Programme, developed in partnership with Dubai Silicon Oasis and academic institutions.

    These programs support Emirati brokers in transitioning from individual practitioners to owners of integrated brokerage firms aligned with international best practices, with participants now managing transactions worth billions of dirhams.

    The structured approach reflects broader efforts to enhance local participation in the sector while maintaining professional standards that have contributed to market resilience amid regional challenges.

    Regulatory Framework Strengthens Market

    The sector’s expansion has occurred within a regulatory environment that mandates structured licensing requirements, ensuring professionalism and market discipline as transaction values increase.

    This framework has enhanced service quality and transaction efficiency, contributing to Dubai’s position as a transparent and professionally managed real estate market attracting international capital.

    The 2025 performance builds on long-term growth trends, with strategic capital now accounting for approximately 40% of transactions as the market transitions from speculation-led dynamics to structured capital allocation.

  • CBA Real Estate Surpasses Dh2 Billion in Dubai Property Sales

    CBA Real Estate Surpasses Dh2 Billion in Dubai Property Sales

    The milestone reflects years of consistent deal-making across residential and investment sectors, including apartments, villas, and off-plan developments throughout Dubai.

    Unlike firms pursuing rapid expansion, CBA Real Estate has built its reputation on long-term relationships with investors and a careful, disciplined approach to property selection, according to founder Salman Bin Ali.

    Two billion dirhams in transactions is an important milestone for our company. But it is really the result of hundreds of individual deals where clients made thoughtful, well-informed investment choices.

    The firm has positioned itself as a brokerage that prioritizes long-term value over short-term market trends in Dubai’s fast-moving property environment.

    Patience Over Speed

    Salman Bin Ali emphasized that success in Dubai’s real estate market comes from strategic patience rather than reactive decision-making.

    A lot of investors believe success comes from moving quickly. In reality, the real advantage comes from patience, waiting for opportunities that truly make sense rather than chasing every new project.

    Over the years, the company has advised a diverse range of international clients seeking both lifestyle properties and investment opportunities, with many returning for repeat investments.

    Repeat Business Model

    The firm’s approach has generated strong client retention, with investors expanding their portfolios through CBA Real Estate after initial successful transactions.

    In this industry, relationships matter. When clients see positive results from their first investment, they naturally come back to expand their portfolio.

    The achievement comes as Dubai’s property market continues to demonstrate strength, with the emirate attracting investors globally through its expanding economy, robust infrastructure, and international business connectivity.

    Dubai’s real estate sector has shown sustained momentum throughout early 2026, with foreign investors maintaining active participation despite regional uncertainties.

    Salman Bin Ali outlined the firm’s continued focus on value-driven advisory.

    Dubai remains one of the most exciting property markets in the world. Our focus will continue to be on helping investors make decisions that deliver value not just today, but for many years into the future.

    The Dh2 billion milestone underscores the viability of relationship-based real estate advisory in a market often characterized by high-volume transaction models and aggressive growth strategies.
