Should a Dubai real estate agency publish its fees and price data for AI search?

The question every buyer asks

"What does a real estate agent charge in Dubai?" is among the most common property questions put to AI assistants, along with "what are the total costs of buying" and "what is the average price per square foot in [area]". Agencies have historically treated these as conversation starters to be answered on a call. The engines do not wait for the call. They answer from the agencies that published, and those agencies get named.

What to publish

Standard commission. The market-standard percentage on sales and on leases, stated as your standard, with a line on when it varies. This is public knowledge in Dubai, and publishing it costs nothing but makes you quotable.

Total transaction costs. A page that walks through every cost of buying: DLD transfer fee, registration trustee fee, mortgage registration and valuation if financed, agency commission, NOC fees for secondary, Oqood for off-plan, Ejari for leases. With a worked example at two price points. Engines quote worked examples.

Area price guides. Price per square foot ranges and typical asking prices by property type for each area you work, with the data source and the quarter. Published quarterly, these pages become a cited reference and bring you buyers who have not yet chosen an agency.

Rental yield and service charge guides by area and building type, with assumptions stated.

Your own transactions, in bands and with permission, as proof the guide reflects what you actually do.

What to keep private

The commission negotiated on a specific deal, a client's identity, and any figure you cannot source. A guide with an unsupported number is worse than no guide, because engines check figures across sources and discount the outliers.

Within the rules

Publishing standard fees, public DLD charges and market price ranges is consistent with RERA advertising practice when the information is accurate, sourced and not misleading. Avoid guarantees of returns, and label projections as projections with assumptions. If your compliance lead wants to review the pages, the guides above are the ones to send.

What it does for the agency

An agency with these pages is a candidate for the cost questions, which are asked before the agency questions. The buyer who learns the total cost of a Dubai purchase from your page is already on your site when they decide who to call. The agencies currently being named for these questions in Dubai are not the largest; they are the ones that published.
