Property Finder

Founded in 2005 by Michael Lahyani, Property Finder has evolved from a real estate magazine into the leading digital property marketplace across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With a valuation approaching unicorn status, Property Finder offers advanced technology solutions that connect homebuyers, renters, real estate brokers, and developers across multiple countries including UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco.

Headquartered in Dubai with six regional offices, Property Finder employs 500-1,000 professionals (whom they call 'creators') and facilitates over 14 million monthly visits across its platforms. The company has achieved profitability in its core markets while continuing to expand through strategic acquisitions and innovations.

Property Finder's digital ecosystem includes websites and mobile applications in both English and Arabic, featuring comprehensive property listings enhanced by AI-powered search algorithms, valuation tools, mortgage calculators, and neighborhood guides. Recent innovations include 'Data Guru,' providing historic transaction insights, and 'SuperAgent,' the region's first AI-driven agent ranking system.

The company culture emphasizes speed, boldness, and impact in a fast-growing, talent-centric organization. Property Finder encourages personal growth alongside company expansion, creating an environment where employees can thrive professionally. Their mission—'to motivate and inspire people to live the life they deserve'—reflects their understanding that property searches represent not just the quest for a better home, but for a better future.

Backed by prominent investors including General Atlantic and Francisco Partners, Property Finder continues to revolutionize the proptech space in the MENA region through technological innovation and market expansion.
