RERA Form A, B and F in Dubai: DLD smart contract roles
Published
DLD's Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide defines Contract A as the agreement to market a property between a seller and real-estate brokerage, Contract B as the buyer's agreement of desire to purchase with a broker, and Contract F as the agreement to sell between seller and buyer. They are distinct smart marketing and sales contracts; use the live DLD workflow for the relevant parties and transaction.
The official DLD definitions
| Contract | DLD definition |
|---|---|
| Contract A | Agreement to market a property between the seller and the real-estate brokerage. |
| Contract B | Agreement of desire to purchase a property between the buyer and the real-estate broker. |
| Contract F | Agreement to sell a property between the seller and the buyer. |
These are DLD's published role definitions. They are not interchangeable labels for one generic ‘broker contract’, and a page about one form should not invent the field set, signature route or fee for another form.
What a broker should check before selecting a workflow
- Identify the parties and the transaction stage: seller-to-broker marketing, buyer-to-broker purchase interest, or seller-to-buyer sale.
- Use the current DLD or Dubai Brokers workflow for that contract instead of a downloaded template or secondary summary.
- Keep the smart contract and the related authority records with the transaction; DLD's brokerage guide calls on licensed brokers to preserve documents.
For Contract A, DLD's broker guide shows a specific route in Dubai REST/Dubai Brokers: validate current title-deed and owner details, select commission and duration, upload the owner-signed NOC, then submit for owner approval. That guide does not make the Contract A flow a substitute for Contract B or Contract F.
Contract A and property advertising are related but separate
For a ready property for sale, DLD's Trakheesi guidance identifies the Contract A marketing-contract number in the permit path. The DLD Real Estate Ad Permit service separately lists a marketing-contract copy with the property owner for specified broker permit categories, including online advertisements. Select the live permit and contract workflows for the actual campaign rather than assuming a completed contract alone decides advertising compliance.
Where the authority guidance stops
This article records the published role of each smart contract. It does not decide a commission dispute, exclusivity, an attachment, a cancellation, a party's authority or a non-standard transaction. Those facts require the active DLD workflow and, where needed, qualified advice.

Frequently asked
What is RERA Form A in Dubai?+
DLD defines Contract A as the agreement to market a property between the seller and the real-estate brokerage. Use the current DLD Contract A workflow for the actual parties and property.

DLD defines Contract B as an agreement of desire to purchase a property between the buyer and the real-estate broker.
What is RERA Form F in Dubai?+
DLD defines Contract F as an agreement to sell a property between the seller and the buyer. Its published broker guidance treats Contract F as a separate transaction contract from A and B.
Does Contract A itself issue a Trakheesi ad permit?+
No. DLD publishes separate contract and advertising-permit workflows. For a ready property for sale, the Contract A number appears in the Trakheesi permit path, but the applicable Real Estate Ad Permit service still controls the permit application.
