Question 1

How are agents ranked on HomeSearch?

Accepted Answer

By real activity, not payment. We order brokers using verified Dubai Land Department sales volume, total deal value and how recently they have transacted. No agent can pay to appear higher, placement is earned entirely from their track record.

Question 2

Are all agents on HomeSearch registered with the DLD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every profile is built from the official RERA broker registry, so each agent has a valid Broker Registration Number (BRN) issued by the Dubai Land Department. You can see the BRN on each agent's profile.

Question 3

What is a BRN and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A Broker Registration Number (BRN) is the licence RERA issues to every legally practising real estate agent in Dubai. Dealing only with BRN-registered brokers protects you, it confirms the agent is authorised, trained and accountable to the DLD.

Question 4

Does it cost anything to contact an agent?

Accepted Answer

No. Browsing agents and reaching out by call, WhatsApp or email is completely free for buyers and tenants. HomeSearch never charges you to connect with a broker.

Question 5

How much commission do real estate agents charge in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

The market standard is 2% of the purchase price for a sale, and 5% of the annual rent for a leasing deal, usually paid on completion. Always confirm the fee in writing with your agent before signing.

Question 6

How do I choose a trustworthy agent?

Accepted Answer

Confirm their BRN is valid on the Dubai Land Department register, review their recent DLD sales history and the communities they specialise in, and look at their total transaction volume. An agent with a consistent, verifiable track record in your target community is usually the safest choice.
