Launch Your Property Agency with a UAE Real Estate Brokerage License
To establish a successful property business in the UAE, you need a specific legal framework that combines a standard business license with specialized regulatory approvals. A Real Estate Brokerage License is the gold standard for entrepreneurs looking to manage property sales, leasing, and management services.
Core Requirements for Real Estate Agencies
Whether you are an experienced broker looking to open your own firm or an investor entering the market for the first time, Barqk provides a streamlined path to obtaining your Real Estate Brokerage License in UAE.
Setting up a brokerage is a two-tier process involving business registration and professional certification.
Professional Certification (RERA): Every brokerage must have a certified manager. We assist you in enrolling for the mandatory Dubai Real Estate Institute (DREI) training and passing the RERA exam to secure your Broker ID.
Trade License Issuance: We manage your application with the DET (for mainland) or the relevant free zones to secure your legal commercial entity.
Good Conduct Certificate: A mandatory police clearance certificate is required for all shareholders and managers to ensure the integrity of the sector.
Physical Office Space: Unlike some other sectors, a real estate brokerage must have a physical office (Ejari) to receive RERA approval and a Trakheesi permit for advertising.
Trakheesi System Integration: We help you register on the Trakheesi portal, which is essential for obtaining permits to advertise property listings on portals like Property Finder and Bayut.

FAQs
Can a foreigner own 100% of a real estate brokerage?
Yes. Recent regulations allow for 100% foreign ownership of real estate brokerages on the mainland. However, the appointed Manager must hold the necessary RERA certifications and a valid residency visa.
What is a Trakheesi permit and do I need one?
A Trakheesi permit is a mandatory authorization for every property advertisement you post online or offline. As part of our service, we help you set up your Trakheesi account so you can legally market your listings.
Do I need a college degree to get a RERA license?
While a degree is not strictly mandatory for all levels, your educational background can affect the RERA exam fees. Non-degree holders may face higher exam and certification costs compared to those with attested university degrees.
No. RERA and the Dubai Land Department require a physical, verified office space to issue a brokerage license. This ensures accountability and provides a professional location for client meetings.
Can I run a real estate brokerage from a virtual office?
How much does the RERA exam cost?
The exam fee typically ranges from AED 700 to AED 3,200 depending on your educational qualifications and the specific emirate's requirements. We provide a full cost breakdown during your consultation.
