The Estate Agency Agreement is a crucial document in UAE real estate transactions, used to formalize the relationship between property owners and licensed real estate professionals. It's essential for compliance with UAE federal laws and emirate-specific regulations, particularly RERA requirements in Dubai. The agreement specifies the agent's authority to market and negotiate property transactions, commission structures, and service obligations. It's designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with local real estate laws, anti-money laundering regulations, and professional licensing requirements.
