In Dubai, how much does it cost to get started in the real estate brokerage business?
Beginning a new venture in the real estate industry in Dubai will involve consideration of a variety of different aspects. For instance, the type of commercial activity you will be engaging in, the size of your company, and the geographic region in which you decide to launch your enterprise will all have a significant impact on the costs involved. A good starting point for an estimate of the cost to establish a real estate company in Dubai is approximately 21,000 AED. All of this is subject to change depending on the taxes that are levied and the activities of your company.
If you intend to launch a real estate brokerage, all of the real estate brokers and agents working under your umbrella will need to be licensed through the Real Estate Brokers Registration (RERA). Another fee that you should anticipate having to pay is this one. Your prior educational experience will determine how much you will need to pay for the exam.
Bachelor’s degree holders – AED 3,200
Non-degree Bachelor’s holders – AED 6,300
AED 15,750 if you have no educational qualifications.
After you have finished your RERA training, you are eligible to apply for a license to practice real estate brokerage.
