What is Form A (Listing Agreement)?
Dubai में property listing के लिए agent और seller के बीच RERA Form A agreement।
Description
Form A is the RERA-mandated listing agreement used when a property owner appoints a broker to sell their property. It specifies the property details, listing price, commission rate (typically 2%), exclusivity terms, and duration. Without a signed Form A, a broker cannot officially list or advertise a property for sale in Dubai.
Exclusivity: defines whether the listing is exclusive (one broker) or open (multiple brokers)
Commission: typically 2% + 5% VAT, payable upon successful sale
Duration: specifies how long the broker is authorized to market the property
Price: sets the listing price and any authority for the broker to negotiate
How to interpret
Form A protects sellers by documenting the exact terms on which their property is being marketed, including the price and commission rate. Without a Form A, a broker can list your property at any price and claim any commission rate. Always review and sign a Form A before any marketing begins, and keep a copy for reference throughout the transaction.
For buyers, verifying that a broker holds a valid Form A for the property they are showing you confirms that the broker has the seller's authorization to deal. A broker showing properties without Form A authority may be operating outside RERA regulations, which is a red flag about their overall professionalism.
