Digitally streamline
A key driver behind this growth is the DLD’s Trakheesi System, the official platform for registering and activating real estate activities. Registration on the platform is mandatory for activities such as property sales and leasing brokerage, property management, valuation services, mortgage brokerage, and consultancy. Pre-approval is also required for certain services, including real estate development, leasing for private or third-party properties, and the activities of service and promotion trustees.
The department said the variety of new activities highlights the market’s professional diversity and reflects efforts to create a flexible environment that meets investor needs across all segments. The streamlined processes, delivered through an integrated digital ecosystem, allow clients to issue and renew licences with ease, supporting the goals of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 to position the emirate as a leading global property hub.
