Real Estate Brokers Firmly Establish Their Position in Dubai's Property Market, Facilitating Over 42,000 Transactions Throughout the First Half of 2025
Booming Real Estate Market in Dubai: Brokers Facilitate AED 3.2 Billion in Commissions
Dubai's real estate sector is thriving, as evidenced by the significant increase in brokerage commissions in the first half of 2025. The total commission value for H1 2025 reached an impressive AED 3.23 billion, more than double the AED 1.62 billion recorded in the same period the previous year [1][3].
This surge was driven by a booming real estate market, with AED 431 billion in transactions, a 25% year-on-year increase. Government policies designed to enhance investor confidence and ease property purchasing have played a crucial role in this growth [3].
The number of transactions facilitated by brokers also saw a dramatic increase, doubling to 42,181 deals in H1 2025. Concurrently, the total number of active brokers in Dubai rose to 29,577, with 6,714 new brokers joining the market in the first six months of the year [1].
On average, each transaction generated around AED 75,856 in commission, resulting in an average commission earned per broker of AED 108,220 over six months. Interestingly, female brokers in Dubai earned approximately a third more than this average, generating a total commission value of AED 1.43 billion and executing 13,424 transactions [1][2].
The real estate sector's growth is supported by strong public-private partnerships and a regulatory environment that promotes trust, efficiency, and growth. With 1,223 brokerage offices and 2,426 Real Estate Services Trustees Offices operating in Dubai, brokers are playing a vital role in facilitating relationships between buyers, sellers, and developers [2].
This expanding contribution of women to the sector's development is underscored by the AED 1.43 billion in commissions they generated. The number of transactions executed by women brokers highlights increasing gender diversity in the field, signifying a positive trend for the future of Dubai's real estate market.
The strong performance of the real estate sector aligns with Dubai's long-term vision to become a premier global hub for real estate investment. With these encouraging figures, it is clear that the market is on track to achieve this goal.
