The increase in transaction volume is closely tied to the growing number of real estate brokers registered with the Dubai Land Department, which now stands at 29,577 brokers, including 6,714 new brokers who entered the sector in the first half of 2025.

“This momentum reflects the growing confidence in the profession and its rising role as a key partner in enhancing the attractiveness of real estate investment and guiding investors towards high-potential opportunities,” the government said in a statement.

The government said the role of real estate brokers extends beyond facilitating transactions; they served as a “vital link” between investors, developers, and buyers, contributing to enhanced transparency and enabling more informed decision-making.
