Advising on property (markets, feasibility, portfolios) is licensed in the UAE under official real estate consultancy activities. Verified Setups works from those records directly, so you can see the exact activities, the free zones that license them, and your itemised price, with the honest conversation about consultancy versus brokerage before you commit to anything.
Brokering property sales and rentals in the UAE is separately regulated, and you’ll see it in the records below: some zones list a real-estate regulator approval right on the consultancy activities. This page covers the consultancy and advisory side; if brokerage is what you actually want, talk to us first. We’ll tell you honestly what a free zone licence can and can’t do for that plan, and any approval fee is scoped with you before you pay anything.
Talk to us firstThese are the official licensed activities our engine maps to real estate consultancy: the exact names the authorities use, and every zone writes its own list in its own words. Our engine recognises them as one business, so your setup is built on the real activity behind it, not a guess. Where a zone’s own record notes an authority approval for an activity, it’s shown beside that zone: the licence is priced now, and an approval’s fee is scoped with you when it applies.
