## What the deal count does not tell you

The registry counts registered transactions, and nothing else. It holds no measure of service, response time, honesty of valuation, or whether a broker saw a client through to registration or dropped them halfway. A large headcount produces a large deal count simply because there are many people: the biggest offices show fewer deals per broker than small teams. That is why the word "best" does not appear here — only figures and a way to check them yourself.

## Deals per broker: Dubai’s largest agencies ranked

The table lists offices with 150 brokers or more, and us for comparison. Ordered by registered deals per broker. On a large team the ratio falls: many deals, but many people too.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Agency no. 1 | 499 | 2,040 | 4.1 |

| 12 | Agency no. 12 | 351 | 366 | 1.0 |

## Deals per broker: the whole market ranked

Offices with ten brokers or more only: on a team of one or two the ratio is too easily an accident.

| № | Agency | Brokers | Deals | Per broker |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Agency no. 1 | 15 | 325 | 21.7 |
| 2 | Agency no. 2 | 26 | 246 | 9.5 |

| 9 | Agency no. 9 | 12 | 93 | 7.8 |

## How deals are spread across offices

## The DLD’s own broker classification

The Land Department assigns each broker a class. It does not publish what the scale means, so we show it as it is, alongside the average deal count in each class.

| Class | Brokers | Average deals |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 5 | 25,145 | 0.8 |
| 6 | 2,938 | 2.4 |
| 7 | 2,086 | 3.5 |
| 8 | 1,335 | 5.6 |
| 9 | 1,919 | 10.3 |
| 10 | 236 | 15.9 |

## How to check any agency in a minute

Open the [list of licensed brokerage offices on the Land Department site](https://dubailand.gov.ae/en/eservices/licensed-real-estate-brokers-offices/licensed-real-estate-brokers-offices-list/) and find the company by name. It shows the licence number (ORN), its validity, and the office’s brokers with their numbers (BRN) and deal counts. If a company is not on the list, or its licence has expired, there is nothing further to check.

**Where we sit in this registry.** Continental Club Property, ORN 31933: 5 brokers, 19 registered deals, 3.8 per broker. That is **2nd for deals per broker** in the table above, where every other office has between 157 and 499 brokers. We are a small team: five people against hundreds at the large networks. By registered deal count that places us in the **top 10% of Dubai’s 10,009 licensed offices**. Among the 6,308 offices that opened in Dubai from 2023 onwards, only 98 have more.
