A government organization called the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) was created in 2007 to oversee Dubai’s real estate market.

It provides a transparent and effective legal framework for everyone involved in Dubai’s real estate industry.

The organization puts a lot of effort into creating an online community for tenants, buyers, property developers, and real estate investors. Additionally, it makes it easier for auxiliary industries like banks, legal offices, and insurance to collaborate with one another.

SMART RERA INITIATIVES

The agency cooperates with the DLD, and the two organizations have jointly introduced a number of smart apps to make life easier for everyone connected with the real estate industry and the RERA rules in Dubai. The top five real estate technologies introduced by DLD are listed below.

DUBAI REST

The Dubai REST app (Dubai Real Estate Self Transaction) offers tenants, owners, and other service providers a one-stop shop for all their needs. The app provides a safe way to handle real estate activities. It was launched by DLD under the direction of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. You may deal in real estate, get details on the city’s real estate market, and access other DLD services with this app.

BROKERS IN DUBAI

Another intelligent application from the DLD, Dubai Brokers, gives users accurate and up-to-date information on authorized real estate brokers in Dubai and their offices. Additionally, it rates brokers based on their citizenship, effectiveness, and ability to sell homes. To increase efficiency and the timeliness of service delivery, the Dubai Brokers app also confirms ownership certificates. In Dubai, there are several real estate applications that are beneficial to use.

SMART INVESTMENT MAP (SIM)

A digital tool called Smart Investment Map (SIM) was created to list and search for properties for sale and rent in Dubai. It offers a variety of e-services that let you pick a property, get in touch with property owners, and conduct transactions online.

Ejari, a smart leasing management tool from DLD, specializes in managing leasing activities. This tool may be used by property management companies, property owners, and even the owner’s agent to manage the leases from any location at any time.
