RERA
Also known as: Real Estate Regulatory Agency · Real Estate Regulatory Authority
RERA is the Real Estate Regulatory Agency — the Dubai government body that regulates real estate. It sits inside the Dubai Land Department.
RERA stands for the Real Estate Regulatory Agency. It was set up in 2007 to license, monitor, and regulate the real estate market in Dubai.
Every off-plan project sold in Dubai must be registered with RERA. Every broker who sells Dubai property must hold a RERA licence. Every escrow account that holds buyer money must be approved by RERA.
You can verify any project, developer, or broker using the Dubai Land Department's public Real Estate Services portal. That is the simplest way to confirm a project is real before you send money.
