UAE-founded proptech Huspy is officially driving its Huspy Italy expansion, having acquired Integra Finance with plans to invest $86M over five years to scale its mortgage and real estate platform.

Huspy is taking its mortgage and real estate platform into the Italian market, using an acquisition and a planned $86 million investment to build its footprint. The UAE-founded proptech has acquired Italian credit intermediary Integra Finance, marking its official entry into Italy.

Huspy plans to invest $86 million (AED 315 million) in the country over five years, although the financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The move makes Italy Huspy’s fourth market after the UAE, Spain, and Saudi Arabia.

The company plans to use Integra as its starting point for building a mortgage finance and real estate business in the country.

Why the Huspy Italy Expansion Matters

Integra gives Huspy an existing foothold in Italy’s credit intermediation market, including a network of mortgage advisors and relationships with financial institutions. The company provides mortgage, lending, and credit services to individuals and businesses.

Huspy plans to combine that local market presence with its AI-native technology and operating systems. “By combining this expertise and market presence with our AI-native technology and systems, we aim to accelerate Integra’s growth and help transform the way real estate agents, credit advisors and clients experience the process of buying, selling and financing a home,” said Jad Antoun, Co-founder and CEO of Huspy.

Growth Strategy for the Italian Market

The acquisition follows a playbook Huspy has used in other markets. The company acquired Home Matters in the UAE in 2021 and Mortgage Direct in Spain in 2023, integrating established businesses and local expertise into its wider platform.

The company plans to focus on developing its Italian business through 2026 and 2027. Meanwhile, it will continue expanding into additional European and MENA markets while strengthening its existing operations in the UAE, Spain, and Saudi Arabia.

Building a Competitive Advantage

For Huspy, the $86 million commitment is about more than entering another market. The company is putting capital behind a strategy that combines local acquisitions with its technology platform to build a larger mortgage and real estate business.

The next test will be how quickly Huspy can integrate Integra’s local network, expand its Italian operations, and turn its AI-powered tools into a competitive advantage in a new market.
