    What rules apply to brokers marketing off-plan projects?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Brokers wishing to market off-plan projects must conclude a formal agreement with the developer and register it with the DLD. The broker is strictly forbidden from depositing any part of the unit's sale price into their own account. Instead, all funds must be deposited directly into the project's Escrow Account. Brokers are also prohibited from deducting their commission from the sale price before the funds are secured in the project account.
