Bayut's Claim Transactions Crosses 55,000 Deals in Agent Trust Push

Bayut says its Claim Transactions feature has now logged more than 55,000 verified property deals, worth a combined AED 122 billion (around USD 33 billion) across Dubai.

The Claim Transaction feature lets agents identify, validate and attach completed deals to their professional profile on the portal, building a track record that buyers and tenants can actually see. The intent is to replace self-reported pitches with hard transaction data.

That data also feeds Bayut's TruBroker and TruPoints frameworks, the ranking systems that influence which agents surface higher in search. Agents who close and log deals are more likely to climb up the TruBroker leaderboard.

Haider Ali Khan, CEO of Bayut and Dubizzle, said:

"Over the years, digital property platforms have evolved from listing marketplaces into trust infrastructure for the industry, especially in a global city like Dubai. What we're seeing is a fundamental shift towards verifiable professional identity, where an agent's track record is seamlessly embedded into their presence on the platform. As this layer of authenticated data continues to grow, it not only enhances transparency but also raises the overall standard of how performance is measured and communicated across the market."

Khan spoke to Online Marketplaces on the record at the Proptech and Portal Watch conference in October 2025, including commentary about the value the TruBroker program provides to brokers in the Middle East.

Bayut sits within Dubizzle Group, the holding company formed when Emerging Markets Property Group merged with OLX MENA in 2020, bringing Bayut and Dubizzle under one roof. The group runs property and general classifieds platforms across the Gulf and Pakistan, with Bayut as the real-estate brand in the UAE.

Its main rival in Dubai is Property Finder, which is backed by General Atlantic and BlackRock and has rolled out its own verified-agent tooling. Both portals have shifted away from competing on listing volume alone, leaning instead on transaction data, valuations and trust signals as Dubai's market continues to print record numbers.

Dubizzle Group unexpectedly withdrew from an IPO in October 2025, saying it would "assess optimal timing".
