Real Estate Brokerage Commission Disputes in Dubai

A broker's commission claim needs a valid brokerage relationship, an introduction or deal that caused the transaction, and proof of the agreed rate. Dubai regulates brokers, so registration and permits are relevant.

What does a broker need to prove?

A brokerage agreement or clear terms, registration status, that the broker introduced the buyer or seller, and that the transaction completed. Listing and viewing records and messages are the evidence.

What can a client argue?

That the broker was unregistered, did not cause the deal, or that the rate was different. Also that another broker introduced the party.

What is the practical approach?

Compile the chronology of introductions and agreements. Consider regulator complaint and court claim. See broker misrepresentation.
