Dubai-based Property Finder has secured a $250 million debt financing commitment from Ares Credit Funds to accelerate regional expansion and product innovation, with spend earmarked for AI-driven solutions, marketing, branding, and strategic partnerships.

As part of that strategy, Property Finder also announced an undisclosed investment in UAE-based Stake, the digital real estate investment platform that enables users to buy fractional property ownership starting from AED 500.

Last week, Stake (backed by Mubadala, Wa’ed Ventures, MEVP, and Republic.com) launched StakeOne, a product that lets users globally buy, manage, rent, and sell full properties through one app, expanding beyond fractional ownership.
