Scroll ten Dubai brokerage accounts and most of what you see is listings: a tower at dusk, a price, a QR code in the corner. Listings matter, but they look the same on every account. The posts that make a buyer remember one brokerage are the ones that teach them something.
Four kinds of post beyond listings
Area guides. One community per post: the schools nearby and the walk to the metro, the parks and what service charges cover. Use the DLD Service Charge Index for the numbers and say so. A carousel or a Reel filmed at street level works well. No unit, no price.
Process explainers. The questions buyers ask on every call. What a foreigner pays in fees when buying an apartment, using DLD’s published fees. How to check that an agent is licensed in the Dubai REST app. How to scan a Madmoun QR code on an advert and what it should show. Why off plan payments go only into the project’s escrow account.
Market education. What the Smart Rental Index means at a tenant’s renewal, with the official bands. What a new rule changes for landlords. Explain the data and link the source. Never forecast prices or yields.
The team. One agent per post with their area and their BRN. A handover moment with the client’s written consent. The owner on why they started the brokerage.
Listings, done properly
When a post shows a specific property it is an advert. It needs the Trakheesi permit number and the Madmoun QR code from that permit, with details that match the permit. Off plan adverts need the developer and project details plus the escrow account number. Offers need their own promotional permit. Never post a property as sold before the DLD transfer is registered.
What buyers save
Posts that list costs line by line or answer a renewal question get saved, because buyers plan to use them. A save is a quiet signal of intent. A brokerage that becomes the account people save is the one they call when they are ready.
Never in a caption
Guaranteed returns, guaranteed rent, a yield figure or a price forecast. Brokers must not mislead on price or benefits. These phrases do exactly that. A client’s name or deal price without written consent. A developer’s renders or logo without a marketing agreement with that developer.
Both languages
Many buyers in Dubai read Arabic first. Many relocating buyers read Russian or another language. Captions in English and Arabic widen reach. Write them properly or have a native speaker check them.
