Founded in 2007 by Michael Lahyani and Renan Bourdeau, Property Finder operates one of MENA’s largest online real-estate classifieds platforms, allowing consumers to browse, filter, and compare properties to buy or rent. The company is expanding beyond listings to build a broader real-estate operating system, rolling out AI-driven tools such as Credit Optimizer, Home Valuation, and SuperAgent to increase transparency and data-driven decision-making. It is also partnering with firms like Stake and Keyper to capture more of the transaction journey. Propelled by strong UAE property demand and supportive local regulation, the firm aims to cement its leadership position in the region. Financially, Property Finder has now raised nearly $700 million in equity and secured an additional $250 million in debt from Ares Management and HSBC. Previous high-profile investors include funds advised by Permira and Blackstone Growth, which led a $525 million investment in 2025, while General Atlantic has held a significant stake since 2018. The fresh capital further reinforces the company’s balance sheet and funds its product and geographic expansion plans.
