To verify a real estate agent in Abu Dhabi, request the brokerage company’s current licence details and the individual broker’s credentials, then confirm them with the relevant official authority. A company licence and an individual broker licence are distinct. Do not rely on a screenshot, logo or verbal assurance when the identity or authority is unclear.
What details should you request?
- Legal name of the brokerage and the current company licence details.
- The individual broker’s full name and any applicable individual licence information.
- Written confirmation that the person is acting for the named company on your transaction.
- A signed service or brokerage agreement with scope, fees and authority clearly stated.
Where can you check?
TAMM provides the official company brokerage licence issuance and renewal service. It is an application service, not necessarily a public search directory. TAMM also lists an individual broker licence service with eligibility conditions. If you cannot confirm a record through public information, contact the authority through its official channel rather than guessing from an advertisement.
What if information does not match?
Pause before signing or transferring money. Ask the company to resolve any name, number, expiry or scope mismatch in writing. Confirm the property, title and transaction documents separately through official records. Keep copies of the replies and agreements. Providential Properties Management LLC holds ADM Licence No. 202401964216; this company licence should not be presented as an individual broker’s licence.
Common questions
Is a company licence enough?
No. Check the identity and authority of the individual handling your transaction as well.
Does TAMM let me search all agents?
The linked pages describe licence services; confirm availability of public verification directly with the authority.
Should I pay while checking a mismatch?
Pause and obtain written clarification before paying or signing.
Where can I raise a question?
Contact the relevant government authority or request guidance from a qualified adviser.
In summary
- Check the company and individual separately.
- Use official channels, not social-media claims.
- Stop if details do not match.
