Abu Dhabi is on the verge of a real estate transformation. Starting July 1st, 2025, the capital will implement Madhmoun, a powerful initiative launched by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) to bring unmatched transparency, integrity, and structure to the property market.
As real estate in the UAE matures, Madhmoun is set to reshape the rules — aligning Abu Dhabi with international standards and elevating confidence among investors, buyers, and agents alike.
Duplicate Listings and Misinformation
For years, Abu Dhabi’s real estate market has battled a common issue: multiple agents listing the same property, often with:
- Conflicting prices
- Outdated or incorrect information
- Low-quality visuals
- No verified agency rights
This fragmented approach undermines trust, frustrates buyers, and hurts professional brokers who follow ethical practices.
What is Madhmoun?
Madhmoun is a centralized property listing platform built to verify, streamline, and regulate real estate listings across Abu Dhabi. Inspired by Dubai’s RERA system and the US-based Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Madhmoun enforces exclusive listing rights — meaning only approved, licensed agencies can list and market a property.
This shift ensures accuracy, curbs misinformation, and improves transaction integrity at every stage.
Key Objectives of Madhmoun
Madhmoun isn’t just a tool — it’s a strategic reform designed to:
– Eliminate fake or duplicate listings
-Protect agency commissions and exclusivity rights
-Ensure buyers access only verified and current property data
-Raise professional standards within the industry
-Build long-term investor and buyer trust in the Abu Dhabi market
How It Works
Under Madhmoun:
- Each property will be listed only by authorized agencies with formal seller agreements.
- Listings will include validated images, real-time market-based pricing, and accurate descriptions.
- All data will be linked to official property records, creating a seamless and reliable source of truth.
- Unauthorized listings will be blocked, ensuring buyers connect directly with qualified agents.

ADREC’s Vision: Trust, Exclusivity, and Global Alignment
According to His Excellency Rashid Al-Omeira and ADREC leadership, Madhmoun is about redefining real estate norms — shifting from volume-driven listings to a quality-first culture.
By promoting exclusivity, professionalism, and accountability, ADREC aims to position Abu Dhabi as a world-class investment destination where transparency is non-negotiable.
Madhmoun will also serve as a compliance and regulatory framework, guiding future real estate reforms and standardizing agency operations across the emirate.
A Bold Step Toward a Transparent Market
With Madhmoun, Abu Dhabi is sending a clear message: the future of real estate is transparent, ethical, and professionally managed. This new chapter promises a healthier ecosystem for everyone involved — where property deals are built on trust, not guesswork.
As the July 1st launch nears, now is the time for stakeholders to get ready. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or broker, Madhmoun will redefine how you interact with the market — for the better.
