In this episode, Dave and Dharm welcome back Ziad Nassar, Deputy CEO of Huspy, one year after his first appearance on the show. And what a difference a year makes.
Ziad shares how Huspy has evolved from a UAE-based mortgage innovator into one of the fastest-scaling proptechs in EMEA, now active across the UAE and Spain with expansion under way in Saudi Arabia. Backed by a US $59 million Series B round led by Balderton Capital, Huspy is pursuing an ambitious mission: empowering the people who serve homebuyers and sellers.
The conversation explores:
Why Huspy focuses on enabling agents and mortgage brokers—the professionals closest to homebuyers and sellers—through technology, training, and fairer rewards.
The logic behind expanding to Spain, and the company’s disciplined playbook for entering new markets.
How AI is transforming property discovery and agent productivity—from natural-language search (“find me a Georgian-style home near London with a vet nearby”) to smart tools that augment rather than replace human expertise.
The importance of focus and discipline in scaling a startup, and the lessons Huspy has learned from trial, error, and relentless iteration.
Why PropTech remains one of the least-disrupted global industries, and how human experience, data, and automation can finally start to change that.
Ziad’s candour and passion make this a compelling listen—an honest look at what it takes to modernise real estate, balance technology with trust, and build for the people who make the housing market work.
