Abu Dhabi, UAE – February 12, 2026
Abu Dhabi Global Market has announced the launch of a Broker Classification Initiative, a new framework aimed at raising professionalism, transparency, and service quality within the real estate sector under its jurisdiction.

The initiative introduces a structured classification system for licensed real estate brokers, positioning them as strategic partners in shaping and advancing the market. It reflects ADGM’s commitment to building a trusted, high-performing real estate ecosystem aligned with international best practices.

Five-Tier Broker Classification System

Under the new framework, real estate brokers will be classified into five tiers:
General, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

The classification is based on three core performance areas:

Sales performance

Professional education

Customer feedback

By linking classification to measurable performance indicators, the initiative is designed to recognise excellence while encouraging brokers to continuously invest in skills development, service quality, and client experience.

Strengthening Trust and Market Confidence

H.E. Rashed Al Blooshi, CEO of ADGM’s Registration Authority, stated that the initiative sets a new benchmark for real estate professionalism within ADGM. He noted that by connecting performance, transparency, and incentives, the framework empowers brokers to raise industry standards while strengthening buyer confidence and trust in the market. The initiative also reinforces ADGM’s role as both a proactive regulator and a business enabler.

Collaboration with the Broker Community

To support the rollout, ADGM hosted a dedicated workshop on 10 February 2026, bringing together licensed brokers to formally introduce the initiative. The session encouraged open dialogue, collaboration, and shared feedback to ensure the framework reflects real market needs and best practices.

With the introduction of the Broker Classification Initiative, ADGM is setting a clear direction for the future of real estate brokerage within its jurisdiction. By rewarding performance, professionalism, and customer-centric practices, the framework is expected to raise service standards, enhance transparency, and build stronger trust between brokers and clients. Over time, this initiative is likely to contribute to a more resilient, credible, and globally competitive real estate market in Abu Dhabi.
