Form A (Dubai) — Seller/Landlord Appointment / Listing Agreement (RERA)
Form A is a standard Dubai Land Department / RERA brokerage form used in Dubai to document a property owner’s appointment of a specific real estate broker/agency to market a property. In practice, Form A is the owner-side brokerage appointment: it records that the seller (or landlord, in leasing contexts) has authorised an agent to advertise and represent the listing, and it typically sets out the scope of marketing authority, listing term, agency status (exclusive or non-exclusive), and the commission/fee basis applicable to the appointment.
Form A is not the sale contract and it does not replace the buyer–seller agreement. It sits earlier in the transaction lifecycle and is primarily about marketing authority and listing terms between an owner and an agency.
Form A matters because it is the main document used to establish who is legitimately appointed to list and market a property and on what commercial basis. It reduces ambiguity and can become central when there is disagreement about:
A clean, correctly completed Form A helps prevent disputes, removes “grey-zone” marketing, and creates a clear file trail.
