Listing ready to publish:an Abu Dhabi checklist

This checklist is the last step before publication. It takes a few minutes but saves you from taken-down listings and awkward conversations with the owner.

The rule is simple: every item ticked — the listing goes to the portal. Even one item missing — fix it first.

Agreement with the owner

• A marketing agreement for the property is signed: term, price, commission, exclusivity.
• The price in the listing matches the price in the agreement.

Property documents

• Ready property: the title deed.
• Off-plan: the sale and purchase agreement with the developer and proof of the amount paid.
• The owner's passport and Emirates ID.
• A power of attorney, if a representative acts for the owner.

Madhmoun permit

• A Madhmoun permit for this property has been issued through DARI.
• The permit is valid on the publication date.
• The permit number is shown in the listing.

Agent BLN

• The BLN (Broker Licence Number) is shown in the agent's portal profile.
• The same BLN is shown in every listing by that agent.

Al Reem Island and Al Maryah Island (ADGM)

• You have checked whether the property is on Al Reem Island or Al Maryah Island.
• If so, an ADGM permit has also been issued.

Listing content

• Photos are real, landscape and show the property's current condition. Renders are for off-plan only.
• Area and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms match the documents.
• The title and description are checked against the template from lesson 3.

If an item is not done

1. Don't send the listing to the portal, not even as a draft.
2. Note in the property card in the CRM which item is missing.
3. If you need a document from the owner, request it the same day and give a deadline.
4. Once the item is done, go through the checklist again from the start — a change in one block often affects another, such as a new price in the agreement.
