How to Sell or Rent Your Property in Dubai Using Bayut’s ‘Sell My Property’ Feature — A Step-by-Step Guide

Head to bayut.com and locate the Sell My Property section. You will find a short, simple online form to complete. All it asks for is the basics — your property type (apartment, villa, townhouse), its location, the number of bedrooms, and the price you are hoping to achieve, whether selling or renting. The form takes only a few minutes to complete. The more precise and accurate your details, the better the agent match and results you will receive.

Before you commit to a price, Bayut gives you access to TruEstimate™ — an AI-powered valuation tool that draws on real transaction data sourced directly from the Dubai Land Department. It analyses recent comparable sales in your neighbourhood, current price trends in your area, your property’s specific size and features, and historical price movements over time. This removes the guesswork from pricing — one of the most common and costly mistakes sellers make. You can also use Dubai Transactions, Bayut’s real-time analytics tool, to see what properties in your community have actually sold or rented for recently — not just what other owners are asking for.

Once you submit your property details, Bayut connects you with a RERA-registered real estate agent. RERA — the Real Estate Regulatory Agency — is the body that licenses all real estate agents in Dubai. Every agent on Bayut’s platform is verified and must hold a valid RERA registration. Bayut also has its own additional quality standard called TruBroker™, which identifies the most experienced and highly rated agents on the portal. Your matched agent will reach out to you directly, discuss your goals, and take ownership of the process from that point forward. You are not navigating this alone.

Before your agent can officially list or advertise your property anywhere in Dubai, you must sign a document called Form A. This is not optional — it is a mandatory legal requirement regulated by RERA. Form A formally authorises your chosen agent to market your property on your behalf. It sets out the property details, the agent’s commission, the duration of the listing agreement, and — if applicable — the mortgage status of your property. Once you sign, your agent submits Form A to the Dubai Land Department’s Trakheesi system and receives an official advertising permit number. Without this permit number, your property cannot be legally advertised anywhere in Dubai.

With the permit in hand, your agent creates and publishes your listing on Bayut. A strong listing includes professional photographs, an accurate and detailed property description, highlights of key features such as views, renovations, or smart home upgrades, and ideally a floor plan or a virtual tour. Bayut attracts millions of active buyers and tenants every month — both from within the UAE and internationally — giving your property genuine exposure to serious, qualified enquiries rather than casual browsers.

Your agent manages all incoming enquiries, arranges and conducts property viewings, screens prospective buyers or tenants, and negotiates offers on your behalf. When an offer comes in, your agent advises you on whether it is competitive and fair based on current market conditions. The administrative workload sits entirely with the agent — you stay informed and in control of the key decisions, without being buried in back-and-forth communications.

For a sale, the final stage involves the transfer of ownership at the Dubai Land Department, obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer confirming no outstanding obligations, and settling any remaining service charges on the property. For a rental, your agent prepares the tenancy agreement and registers it through Ejari — the official UAE government system for registering all rental contracts in Dubai. Agent commission is typically 2% of the sale price for sales and 5% of the annual rent for rentals.
