Abu Dhabi: In an effort to protect buyers and enhance confidence, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is introducing a new service called the ‘Real Estate Advertising Permit.’

The service, introduced through ADGM’s AccessRP platform, mandates a permit for all property advertisements within its jurisdiction, addressing the prevalent challenge of fraudulent and misleading listings.

This initiative is a joint effort between the ADGM Registration Authority, the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC). It utilizes Madhmoun—the UAE’s first government-regulated Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—to ensure every property advertisement is verified for authenticity.

The integration of Madhmoun with ADGM’s permit system establishes a robust framework for a more transparent and secure real estate market.

The initiative aims to eliminate unverified, duplicate, and inaccurate property advertisements that mislead prospective buyers and tenants. By mandating a permit for each listing, the service guarantees that all published ads are authentic and that their information has been officially validated.
