Dubai’s real estate brokerage sector recorded a surge in activity during the first half of 2025, with commissions reaching over Dh3.23 billion—a staggering 99% increase from Dh1.62 billion in the same period last year.
According to the Dubai Land Department (DLD), this growth came from 42,181 transactions completed by real estate brokers between January and June. The rising number of licensed professionals played a crucial role in this momentum, with the total number of brokers now at 29,577, including 6,714 newcomers who entered the field in the past six months alone.
Female brokers made a significant impact, executing 13,424 transactions and earning nearly Dh1.43 billion in commissions. Currently, 10,100 women are actively contributing to the dynamic brokerage sector, underscoring their expanding influence in closing high-value property deals and building strong investor relationships.
Beyond sales facilitation, brokers and property valuation professionals helped increase market transparency and informed decision-making, according to DLD. The sector also benefited from the services of 1,223 registered brokerage offices, 78 valuation firms with 118 licensed valuers, and 2,426 real estate service offices.
Trustees Offices supporting registrations and services completed 114,848 transactions for over 86,000 customers in H1 2025—reflecting a 15% jump in customer volume compared to last year.
The DLD emphasized that the robust performance of Dubai’s real estate services reflects investor confidence and the success of the emirate’s public-private collaboration in strengthening its position as a top global property investment hub.
