In Dubai’s fast-paced real estate market, following the proper documentation process is essential for smooth and legally compliant transactions. Whether you are listing a property, securing a buyer, or collaborating with another agent, you’ll need to understand the critical RERA forms involved: Form A, Form B, and Form I.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to complete and file each form correctly—with a special focus on agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration using Form I.

What Are the Key RERA Forms in Dubai?

  • Form A: Listing Agreement between Seller and Broker

  • Form B: Buyer Agreement between Buyer and Broker

  • Form I: Agent-to-Agent Agreement (A2A Contract)

Each form serves a unique purpose, and all are officially governed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA).

Step 1: Completing Form A (Seller’s Listing Agreement)

Purpose:

Form A formalizes the exclusive or non-exclusive agreement between a seller and the listing agent.

Required Information:

  • Seller’s full name and Emirates ID/passport copy

  • Property details: location, title deed number, size

  • Agreed listing price

  • Commission percentage for the agent

  • Listing duration (commonly 3 months)

Process:

  1. Meet the seller and agree on key terms.

  2. Fill out Form A via the DLD's Trakheesi system or RERA’s e-form portal.

  3. Attach supporting documents: Title deed, seller’s ID, and any NOC if applicable.

  4. Submit for Trakheesi approval to generate a permit number.

  5. Get Form A signed by the seller and broker.

  6. Upload the signed form to the DLD system.

Important:

Form A is mandatory for marketing the property on public portals.

Step 2: Completing Form B (Buyer’s Agreement)

Purpose:

Form B documents the buyer’s representation agreement with a real estate agent.

Required Information:

  • Buyer’s full name and ID/passport

  • Property type, budget, location preferences

  • Commission payable by the buyer

Process:

  1. Discuss search criteria and terms with the buyer.

  2. Complete Form B through the RERA e-form system.

  3. Agree on commission percentage.

  4. Both parties sign the agreement.

  5. Retain the signed copy for your records.

Important:

Form B protects the agent’s right to earn commission if they secure a property for the buyer.

Step 3: Completing Form I (Agent-to-Agent Agreement) with Co-broke

Purpose:

Form I governs the co-brokerage relationship between two agents, formalizing the commission sharing structure. With Co-broke, this process becomes faster, more transparent, and fully traceable.

Required Information:

  • Full names and licenses of both agents/agencies

  • Property details and Trakheesi permit number

  • Commission split agreement (typically 50/50 but negotiable)

Process:

  1. Negotiate commission sharing terms directly through Co-broke, which helps agents document agreements clearly and fairly.

  2. Generate and sign Form I instantly on the Co-broke platform. This eliminates manual paperwork and centralizes all records securely.

  3. Include:

    • Seller/buyer details

    • Trakheesi number

    • Each agent’s roles and responsibilities

  4. Co-broke automatically stores the signed Form I for both parties, creating a reliable audit trail.

  5. You can track the status of each A2A collaboration within your Co-broke dashboard in real-time.

Important:

Form I is crucial for agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration and protects both brokers' commissions.
Using Co-broke simplifies this process, reduces disputes, and ensures both agents are legally covered from the first interaction.

Step 4: Filing and Compliance

  • All forms (A, B, I) must be stored for audit purposes by RERA.

  • Ensure Trakheesi permits are linked to the forms.

  • Maintain digital and physical copies.

Quick Tips for Smooth Filing

  • Double-check all names, ID numbers, and permit codes.

  • Don’t proceed with viewings or offers until all forms are signed.

  • Always keep a clear commission agreement in writing (Form I).

  • Use Co-broke app for faster processing and tracking.

Why These Forms Matter

Failing to complete or file these forms correctly can result in:

  • Commission disputes

  • Listing suspension

  • Legal penalties from RERA

Mastering these forms not only ensures compliance but builds trust and professionalism in Dubai’s competitive real estate industry.
