Form I

Form I is one of the standardised RERA real estate forms used in Dubai. It is generally used as the agreement between two brokers who cooperate on the same transaction, setting out how they will work together and share the commission.

Where you’ll see it

You’ll see Form I where a buyer’s broker and a seller’s (or landlord’s) broker collaborate on a deal. It records their cooperation and commission split. As the exact RERA form set can change, the current role of each form is worth confirming.

Why it matters

Using the proper form keeps broker cooperation transparent and regulated, reducing commission disputes. For clients, knowing that brokers operate under standardised forms gives confidence the process follows RERA’s framework.

What it is not

Form I is not the sale agreement between buyer and seller (that is the Form F / MOU), and it is not a listing agreement between a client and a broker. It governs the relationship between cooperating brokers.

Example

Two agencies bring buyer and seller together; they sign Form I to formalise their cooperation and agree how the commission will be divided when the deal completes.

Connected documents and parties

Form I, listing and sale forms; cooperating brokers, RERA.
