The Vetting Protocol

01

Demand the RERA Card

Every legal agent in Dubai must carry a physical or digital RERA Broker Card. Ask for a photo of it before sharing any personal documents or deposit details.

02

Verify via Dubai REST App

Download the official Dubai REST app. Enter the agent's BRN (Broker Registration Number) to verify their license status, photo, and authorized agency.

03

Official Receipts Only

Never pay cash to an individual. All cheques or transfers must be made to the agency name as shown on their trade license, or directly to the landlord.

Warning Signs

Common agent red flags to watch for.

!

The "Bait and Switch"

An agent lists a beautiful apartment at a low price. When you call, it's "just rented," but they have a much more expensive (and worse) option nearby.

!

Pressure Tactics

Claiming there are "three other people with cheques in hand" to force you into a decision without proper due diligence or viewing.

!

Missing Title Deeds

Being unable or unwilling to provide a copy of the Title Deed and the Landlord's passport before you sign the contract.

!

WhatsApp Only

Agents who refuse to share an official company email or office location, operating entirely via untraceable personal mobile numbers.
