Check a listing before you commit
Two of the three checks that matter, in one place: whether the agent is licensed with the Land Department, and whether the asking price matches what comparable homes actually sold for. Free, no login.

What this checks — and what it can’t
✓ The agent’s licence
Against the 34,123 brokers on DLD's register snapshot of 28 August 2026. A match means registered — not vouched for.
✓ Whether the price is real
Against the 87,185 completed-home sales recorded in the 24 months to 7 October 2026, narrowed to homes of your size in the same project or area — what comparable homes actually sold for, not what other listings ask.
✗ The Trakheesi listing permit
Every legitimate Dubai listing carries a Trakheesi permit number, and newer ones a Madmoun QR code. We don’t check it for you: DLD verifies permits one at a time through its own page, with no way to look up many at once, and we would rather say so than invent a reassuring answer. It takes a minute to check yourself on DLD’s e-services, and ask the agent for the permit number before viewing.
The full step-by-step is in the verification guide. Renting instead? Check what your landlord can charge.
