What Connect Homes does

Connect Homes is an Egyptian real estate marketplace platform headquartered in New Cairo that aggregates property listings across multiple developers, offering a unified search and discovery experience for residential, commercial, administrative, and clinical spaces. The platform operates at connecthomes.io and connecthomes.co and currently surfaces 16,590+ listings spanning New Cairo, New Capital City, El Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October City, and the North Coast (Sahel), covering both off-plan and resale inventory from developers such as Hyde Park, Palm Hills New Cairo, La Vista, Hacienda, and Solare.

The core technology is a web-based marketplace with advanced property search (filters for project status, developer, delivery year, sale type, bedrooms, bathrooms, payment range, area, and amenities), an interactive map-based discovery tool branded CH Maps, and an Exclusive Offers aggregation surface that consolidates promotional deals across developers. A 'Coming Soon' marketplace selector indicates a continuing product roadmap. The company was founded in 2012 and operates with 101-250 employees from its New Cairo headquarters.

Connect Homes generates revenue through transaction fees or commissions on property sales and rentals facilitated through the platform. Its go-to-market combines a direct-to-consumer self-serve website with a franchise program and a freelancer network that enables commission-based partner expansion across Egyptian cities. The company primarily serves residential property buyers (individual buyers and families) as the primary segment, with secondary segments covering commercial property seekers and professional-services clients requiring administrative offices or clinical spaces.
