Step-by-Step: How to Sell Property in Dubai

1. Obtain a Property Valuation

2. Sign Form A (Listing Agreement)

  • Mandatory agreement between seller and RERA-registered broker

  • Authorises exclusive or open listing, commission terms, and marketing rights

3. Prepare Ownership Documents

  • Title deed

  • Emirates ID or passport

  • No Objection Certificate (NOC) from developer (if required)

4. List & Market the Property

  • Professional photography, 3D walkthroughs, and multilingual listings

  • Promotion on Property Finder, Bayut, Dubizzle, and Fraser Bond's global platforms

5. Negotiate and Sign Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

  • Buyer pays deposit (usually 10%) to secure the property

  • MOU includes agreed sale price, payment schedule, and closing terms

6. Apply for NOC from Developer

  • Confirms the seller has no outstanding service charges or payments

  • Fee ranges from AED 500 to AED 5,000

7. Transfer Ownership at DLD

  • Takes place at the Dubai Land Department or trustee office

  • Buyer pays remaining balance, and seller receives proceeds
