Property Finder

MENA's leading property portal — agents pay for listings and leads.

Backed by General Atlantic ($120M, 2018), live across UAE, KSA, Qatar, Bahrain, and Egypt. Example profile — reconstructed from public sources to show founders what a completed StartupKit showcase page looks like. Property Finder is not a StartupKit customer.
