The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has opened registration for Emirati citizens to join its ‘Dubai Real Estate Broker Programme’ through a dedicated portal, reinforcing its commitment to increasing national participation in the real estate sector.
The move comes in response to high interest from citizens since the programme’s launch. Already surpassing 180% of its annual target, the initiative has trained a growing number of Emiratis, supported by partnerships with accredited institutions and private sector stakeholders.
Participants who complete the required training receive a three-year real estate broker card, enabling them to operate legally in the market. To date, transactions by programme brokers have exceeded AED 500 million, and 231 new brokerage firms have been licensed.
DLD has held over 10 collaborative meetings with 71 strategic partners, including real estate developers, brokerage firms, and training institutes, to build an integrated support ecosystem. The programme is also introducing an incentive system, awarding evaluation points to firms that employ Emirati brokers, boosting their competitive market standing.
Aligned with the Dubai Social Agenda 2033, the programme aims to empower Emiratis through skill development, employment opportunities, and participation in major real estate projects. Interested citizens can register via nbp.dubailand.gov.ae using their UAE Pass.
