What Lifull Connect does

Lifull Connect (legal entity LIFULL CONNECT, S.L.) is a Barcelona-headquartered digital marketplaces group founded in 2019 through the merger of Trovit and Mitula Group, with origins tracing back to Trovit (2006) and Mitula (2009). The company operates two divisions: a Vertical Search division that aggregates classified ads from thousands of partner websites into search engines across the homes, cars, and jobs verticals (brands include Trovit, Mitula, Nestoria, and Nuroa), and a Real Estate division that owns and operates property portals directly in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America (brands include Dot Property, Thailand Property, Hipflat, Lamudi, Properati, iCasas, Globaliza, La Encontré, PuntoPropiedad, and FazWaz). The group runs 250+ sites across 63 countries in 24 languages, processes 300 million ads per month, and serves 180 million monthly visits and 2 billion+ annual searches.

The underlying technology is vertical search aggregation, combining web crawling, listing normalization, deduplication, and search/ranking over heterogeneous partner feeds, paired with country-specific property portal front-ends and back-ends. Business model revenue comes from three streams: advertising and lead generation (agents, developers, dealers pay for visibility and qualified leads redirected from Lifull Connect sites), subscription/listing fees on owned property portals, and increasingly transaction-related fees from the FazWaz brokerage operations in Southeast Asia. The go-to-market is primarily SEO-driven organic acquisition on owned properties and B2B aggregation partnerships that send qualified traffic back to classified site partners.

In January 2025 Lifull Connect spun off from its Japanese parent LIFULL Corporation, and in 2026 completed a management buyout led by executive Michael Kenner. The group has since divested the Trovit and Mitula jobs verticals to Adzuna (March 2026), acquired Properati from OLX, and is repositioning around a transactions-first real estate strategy in Southeast Asia with an articulated $100 million annual revenue target and indications of a potential IPO. Leadership includes CEO Mauricio Silber and general manager Juan Ramón, with corporate operations centered in Barcelona and regional hubs in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Makati, Jakarta, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and London.
