In a bold move signaling the next wave of innovation in the Middle East’s real estate sector, Property Finder, the region’s leading property platform, has made a strategic investment in Stake, the premier digital real estate platform that allows users to invest in fractional property ownership and private real estate funds starting from as little as Dh500. This investment represents more than just financial support—it underscores a shared vision for a technology-driven transformation of how people buy, own, and profit from real estate in the region. By leveraging Stake’s innovative model, investors can now access diversified real estate portfolios with unprecedented ease and flexibility, breaking down traditional barriers to entry and democratizing property ownership across the UAE and the broader Middle East.
Michael Lahyani, Founder and CEO of Property Finder, emphasized that the partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to trust, transparency, and innovation. “We have witnessed Stake’s growth from a promising start-up into a key leader in the region’s digital real estate ecosystem,” Lahyani said. “Our investment is a vote of confidence in their mission and a testament to the power of technology to expand opportunities for investors, sellers, and homeowners alike.” Through this collaboration, Property Finder is reinforcing its strategic focus on tech-enabled solutions that enhance the real estate journey, creating a seamless connection between buyers, sellers, and investors while fostering a more transparent and efficient marketplace.
Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, hailed the partnership as a milestone for the company, noting that having the region’s leading property platform invest in their growth is a powerful endorsement. The alignment between the two companies promises to accelerate the evolution of the property investment ecosystem, enabling a broader audience to participate in real estate markets previously limited to larger investors. By combining cutting-edge technology, innovative investment models, and strategic collaboration, Stake and Property Finder are redefining real estate engagement in the Middle East, paving the way for increased financial inclusion, smarter investment decisions, and a more connected property community.
This strategic investment is not only a financial milestone—it is a bold statement that the Middle East’s real estate sector is ready for a digital revolution, one that leverages innovation, technology, and collaboration to transform how people engage with property ownership and investment in the 21st century.
