What Nawy does

Nawy is an Egypt-headquartered proptech company founded in 2016 that operates a vertically integrated real estate platform across six products: Nawy Properties (search and brokerage across 800+ compounds and 15,000+ units), Nawy Now (an FRA-licensed Sharia-compliant mortgage product with installment plans up to seven years), Nawy Shares (regulated fractional property ownership), Nawy Keys (broker-free rental management), Nawy Unlocked (property renovation and monetization built on the January 2025 acquisition of ROA), and Nawy Partners (an agent and broker network). The company combines a self-serve digital marketplace with field sales consultants and serves individual property buyers, sellers, renters, and investors primarily in Egypt, with active expansion into Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Morocco.

The business model is multi-stream and transaction-anchored. Brokerage commissions flow from primary and resale transactions, with developer partnerships across 30+ leading Egyptian developers (SODIC, Hyde Park, Mountain View, Ora Developers, Marakez, Orascom Development). Nawy Now generates managed-services revenue through direct mortgage origination backed by FRA license No. 25 (issued 19 May 2024) and EGP 443M of Ijarah-backed mortgage fund capacity raised with MFIC/Synergy Capital in October 2025. Nawy Shares, Nawy Keys, and Nawy Unlocked layer transaction fees, professional service fees, and renovation financing on top of the core marketplace, while data-driven product features and a dedicated AI strategy (formalized with the appointment of Nawy's first Chief AI Officer in October 2025) underpin search, pricing, and underwriting.

By the end of 2024 Nawy reported GMV of $1.4 billion, revenue that grew 50x in four years, and profitability — milestones that supported a $75 million Series A round in May 2025 ($52 million equity led by Partech Africa plus $23 million in debt) and follow-on M&A including the acquisition of a majority stake in SmartCrowd in July 2025. The company is backed by e&, the Sawiris Family Office, and Partech Africa, employs 1,001–5,000 people, and operates offices in New Cairo, 6th of October, and El Sheikh Zayed.

Direct peers

• Property Finder: Leading MENA property listing platform with strong presence in Egypt. Directly competes with Nawy Properties in residential brokerage listings and developer sales, sharing the same proptech marketplace model.
• Bayut: Major MENA real estate marketplace operating in the UAE and broader GCC. Comparable to Nawy as a digital property listings platform with developer partnerships and end-consumer search functionality.
• SmartCrowd: UAE's first licensed fractional property investment platform, in which Nawy acquired a majority stake in July 2025. Directly overlaps with Nawy Shares and is now part of the Nawy ecosystem for GCC market entry.

Broad incumbents

• Zillow: Global benchmark for digital real estate marketplaces. Useful comparable for the consumer-facing listing and brokerage model Nawy operates, though operating in a mature US market with mortgages as an integrated offering.
• Compass: Tech-enabled residential brokerage combining agent network with digital tools. Comparable to Nawy's hybrid self-serve + consultant approach, though Compass is far larger and US-focused.
• Redfin: Online residential brokerage and portal with integrated mortgage origination. Strong analogue for Nawy's combined brokerage + mortgage (Nawy Now) value proposition at scale.
• OLX (real estate vertical): General classifieds platform with significant real estate vertical in Egypt. Competes with Nawy Properties for organic property search traffic and SMB/individual listings.

Emerging players

• NoBroker: Indian proptech eliminating broker fees for rentals and sales, comparable to Nawy Keys' zero-commission rental model. Useful emerging-market benchmark for broker-disintermediation monetization.
• Habi: Latin American proptech offering streamlined residential transactions with integrated financing. Comparable to Nawy in combining search, brokerage, and mortgage in an emerging market context.
• QuintoAndar: Brazilian proptech with integrated rental management, brokerage, and financing. Closest emerging-market analogue to Nawy's vertically integrated property + financial services stack.
