Cairo-based proptech company Byit is entering the UAE market as it seeks to simplify cross-border real estate transactions and connect Gulf investors with property opportunities in Egypt. Through its expansion and the launch of new artificial intelligence tools, the company aims to improve brokerage efficiency while supporting greater investment flows into Egypt’s real estate sector.
The expansion marks an important step in the company’s regional growth strategy as real estate markets across the Middle East continue shifting toward technology-driven transactions and digital brokerage infrastructure.
Founded in 2022 by Antoine Azar, Byit operates an agent-centric brokerage model that allows independent brokers to retain up to 90% of developer commissions while using digital tools for property discovery, lead generation and transaction management.
The company’s latest move comes months after it secured $1.1 million in funding backed by A15, Beltone Holding and a group of angel investors in late 2025. The funding highlighted growing investor confidence in digital real estate infrastructure across the Middle East.
Building Cross-Border Real Estate Connections
As part of its UAE expansion, Byit launched a new regional division, Byit Ventures, which will serve as a bridge between Egyptian real estate developers and investors in Gulf markets.
The company says the initiative is expected to create new revenue opportunities for brokers while supporting the flow of foreign investment into Egypt’s property sector. Gulf investors have increasingly expanded their interest in Egypt’s real estate market, creating demand for platforms capable of managing transactions across borders more efficiently.
Byit’s platform relies heavily on artificial intelligence to improve brokerage operations and simplify the deal-making process. Its technology analyzes customer preferences and market data to recommend properties more accurately and help brokers close transactions faster.
The newly launched AI-powered tools also include real-time market analytics, customer relationship management features and operational performance tracking designed for brokers working in highly competitive real estate markets.
Azar described the UAE expansion as a strategic milestone for the company’s regional ambitions. He said the company’s goal is to help brokers operate across borders with greater transparency and efficiency while embedding artificial intelligence into the core infrastructure of property transactions.
Expanding a Broker-Focused Model Across the Gulf
Unlike traditional brokerage firms, Byit has built its business around independent brokers, focusing on transparency, operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
The company says its network now includes more than 40,000 independent brokers, partnerships with over 450 property developers and a database covering more than 1,000 real estate projects.
This growing network has helped position Byit as a technology-focused alternative within a rapidly digitizing real estate market where online lead generation and remote transactions are becoming increasingly important.
Chief Revenue Officer Nader Gemayel said the combination of fresh funding and regional expansion places the company in a strong position to scale across Gulf markets.
He said connecting brokers with international buyers while equipping them with advanced AI-powered tools could significantly increase transaction activity and unlock new growth opportunities across the wider real estate ecosystem.
Following its UAE expansion, the company has identified Saudi Arabia as its next target market as it continues building a broader presence across the Gulf region.
