Dubai real estate guides
Deep, regulator-aware guides for Dubai-licensed agents. Every guide answers a specific operational question that comes up before, during, or after a property transaction.
Dubai real estate is regulated in detail. RERA governs broker registration and permit issuance. DLD governs title transfer and the unit-registry pipeline that turns Oqood records into final title deeds. The UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) governs how owner contact data can be used in agent outreach. Most agents pick up the rules in fragments through onboarding, agency manuals, and trial and error.
UnitHunter's guides are an attempt to write down what an experienced Dubai agent actually needs to know about the data layer underneath the portals. Each guide is structured around a real workflow, includes a How-To section so the steps are unambiguous, and ships with a FAQ that handles the follow-up questions an agent will hit on the second read. The schema is exposed as Article + HowTo + FAQPage so the content is eligible for the relevant rich results in search.
The product layer that backs these guides is documented in the solutions section, and the Dubai area-by-area coverage is in the Dubai hub.

Guides - FAQ
- Who are these guides written for?
- Dubai-licensed real estate agents, agency owners, leasing specialists, off-plan specialists, and property managers. The guides assume working familiarity with PropertyFinder, Bayut, and Dubizzle and focus on the data layer beneath them: DLD records, RERA permits, Oqood registrations, and PDPL-compliant outreach. They are not introductory real estate content for consumers.
- How current is the regulatory information in the guides?
- Each guide carries a dateModified field that reflects the last review. UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), DLD circulars, and RERA broker-conduct updates are tracked, with the guide updated when a material change ships. The dateModified field is exposed in the JSON-LD Article schema for search engines.
- Can I cite these guides in client materials?
- Yes. The guides are designed to be cite-able. Every regulatory claim references the underlying decree or DLD source. If you spot an error or want to flag an outdated reference, contact us through the contact page.
