In a step that highlights Dubai’s commitment to empowering Emirati professionals, the Dubai Land Department (DLD), through the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), held a ceremony to recognise real estate firms that exceeded Emiratisation targets under the ‘Dubai Real Estate Broker Programme’.
Held at DLD’s headquarters, the event was attended by His Excellency Omar Hamad BuShehab, Director General of DLD, along with top industry leaders. Ten brokerage firms were honoured for their strong efforts in hiring and supporting UAE nationals, each employing more than 20 Emiratis.
The recognised firms include:
Harbour Real Estate Broker, On Plan Real Estate, Dirham for Real Estate Brokerage, AlRuwad Real Estate, AKN Properties, Exp Real Estate, FAM Real Estate Broker, Real Estate Codes, PSI Real Estate, and D&B Properties.
Mohammed Ali Al Badwawi, Acting CEO of RERA, praised the firms for helping the programme exceed its goals in a short time. He stated that this success reflects a strong public-private partnership and shows that investing in Emirati talent is a smart, long-term strategy.
The Dubai Real Estate Broker Programme aims to create leadership opportunities for Emiratis in real estate by providing training, support, and career development in partnership with private sector firms. It supports both the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 and the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which focus on job creation, skill-building, and sustainable growth.
DLD encouraged more companies to join the programme and take part in building a more inclusive, balanced, and future-ready real estate sector in Dubai.
