A new batch of licenced Qatari real estate brokers took the legal oath before the Real Estate Brokers Affairs Committee at the Ministry of Justice. The batch consisted of 13 brokers, taking the number of licenced brokers since the new law entered into force to 100.
The licencing of this batch comes within the framework of the implementation procedures of the provisions of the law, and pushing the real estate brokerage business towards an organised legal environment prepared to keep pace with the economic and urban renaissance witnessed by the country and the great expansion in the real estate sector, including re-configuring and organising the real estate system to achieve the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.
This step comes within the framework of the Ministry of Justice’s efforts to reorganise the real estate brokerage profession, and to work in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 22 of 2017 to regulate real estate brokerage work to serve the national economy, develop working mechanisms in the real estate market, and qualify brokers including the owners of offices and Qatari brokers.

On this occasion, the Assistant Undersecretary for Real Estate Registration and Documentation Affairs at the Ministry of Justice and Head of the Real Estate Affairs Committee Saeed Abdullah al-Suwaidi said the intensification of the qualification of Qatari real estate brokers and the continuous organisation of training courses for applicants come in implementation of instructions of HE the Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Dr Issa Saad al-Jafali al-Nuaimi, to reorganise the real estate brokerage profession in a way that serves the national economy, develop the mechanisms of work in the real estate market, qualify those working in the real estate brokerage profession whether the offices’ owners or Qatari brokers, maximise the benefit for Qatari real estate brokers as partners in real estate investment, and establish regional real estate brokerage offices.
