In 2025, Dubai's real estate brokerage sector experienced significant growth, solidifying its importance in the market. Brokerage commissions reached Dh13.59 billion, a 31% increase from the previous year. This growth was fueled by a 54% rise in broker-executed transactions, totaling 96,440, highlighting the sector's crucial role in facilitating efficient transactions. The expansion of the broker base and a strong regulatory environment further contributed to the sector's positive performance.

Women's participation within the sector saw a notable increase. Transactions conducted by women rose by 49% to 28,909, and their commission value surged by 83% to Dh2.98 billion. This growth reflects the increasing influence of women in the real estate value chain. By the end of 2025, the number of women working in real estate brokerage reached 11,371, representing a significant portion of the total 32,294 registered brokers.

The sector also attracted new talent, with the number of new real estate brokers increasing by 38% to 13,083. The number of registered brokerage offices reached 9,785, indicating the sector's expansion. The Dubai Land Department played a key role in enhancing the sector's efficiency and sustainability. Initiatives like the Dubai Real Estate Brokers Programme and the Real Estate Brokers Incubator Programme aimed to empower Emirati brokers and increase their presence in the market.

These initiatives have yielded positive results, with a rise in the number of Emirati brokers and their successful execution of transactions worth billions of dirhams. This integrated approach, supported by clear regulatory frameworks, continues to build national talent and drive the future of real estate brokerage in Dubai.
