Dubai Debuts World’s First AI-Powered Digital Real Estate Brokerage
Dubai, Monday, 16 February 2026.
Dubai has cemented its position as a PropTech pioneer with the official launch of FRANK AI on February 16, 2026. Positioning itself as the world’s first fully AI-powered digital real estate brokerage, the platform introduces a paradigm shift by functioning as a comprehensive ‘Agent Operating System.’ Perhaps most significantly for the industry, FRANK AI challenges traditional revenue models by offering agents commission structures ranging from 80% to 100%, supported by an initial AED 30 million financing allocation from Clozer. Founded by Wael Handous and Rimma Grigoryan, the system integrates market intelligence, transaction execution, and financial infrastructure to remove operational friction. This launch not only automates property transactions but signals a broader structural evolution in global real estate, with immediate expansion plans targeting Saudi Arabia, London, and Spain.
Operational Architecture: The Agent Operating System
The launch of FRANK AI represents a departure from standard property listing services, introducing what the company terms an “Agent Operating System” designed to centralize the fragmented workflows of real estate professionals [1]. Available as of today on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, the platform functions as a vertically integrated ecosystem that combines market intelligence with transaction execution [1]. Key technical features include FRANK Maps for geospatial data, specialized tools for the secondary market, and a dedicated digital wallet, all engineered to provide structure and agility to agents [1]. Wael Handous, Founder and CEO, emphasizes that this technological foundation is critical for industry evolution, stating that markets “change when infrastructure changes,” rather than through superficial slogans [1]. By consolidating these tools, the platform aims to empower agents with the data and operational capacity required for global scale [1].
Financial Engineering and Commission Liquidity
Beyond its technical suite, FRANK AI has introduced a disruptive financial model intended to alter the economic dynamics of brokerage. The platform offers a commission structure ranging from 80% to 100%, significantly higher than traditional industry standards [1]. To support this high-yield model and ensure liquidity, the company has secured a substantial financial backstop; Clozer has allocated AED 30 million specifically for Phase 1 to finance commission cycles [1]. This capital injection is designed to alleviate the cash flow constraints often faced by brokers. Rimma Grigoryan, Co-Founder and COO, notes that the system is built to remove friction across deal execution and commission management, reinforcing the view that the future of the sector belongs to professionals who can effectively combine discipline with such advanced financial technology [1].
Strategic Alignment and Global Expansion
The platform’s entry into the Dubai market is bolstered by strategic endorsements from established industry figures. Ghadeer Nashashibi has been appointed as a FRANK Ambassador, a move the company describes as an alignment of values regarding consistency and growth in the Dubai market rather than a mere collaboration [2]. The vision is further supported by industry leaders including Sarah Aboutaleb, Ayah Dahabi, and Dr. Nour Eldeen El Serougy [1][3][4]. Headquartered in Dubai under Will and Rich Real Estate LLC, FRANK AI is already looking beyond local borders [1]. The company has confirmed plans to export its automated brokerage model internationally, with immediate expansion targets set for Saudi Arabia, London, and Spain, signaling an intent to replicate this AI-driven infrastructure in other high-value real estate markets [1].
