2,000+ Real Estate Investors, Family Offices and Capital Contacts

Search the database. Describe your deal. Find the investors most likely to care.

It is available to Real Brief Pro members (start a free trial below).

Finding the right investor should not mean spending days searching LinkedIn, company websites, old conference lists and disconnected spreadsheets.

So I built REX.

REX is a searchable database of more than 2,000 investors, family offices, developers, funds and real estate companies across the GCC, UK and Europe.

A little about me

I’m Zakee Ahmed.

I have worked across real estate investment, development and operations through our family business, with exposure to a portfolio of more than $1 billion in assets under management.

Today, Real Brief is a community of more than 1,500 real estate professionals around the world who use our data, analysis and market intelligence to understand where the industry is moving.

I’m also a real estate tech founder (Buildable) - we create AI software used by institutional real estate teams in Dubai for investment, valuation and market research.

REX combines that experience, our market relationships and technology that would be extremely difficult to replicate with a normal ChatGPT search.

What makes REX different?

Most investor databases are assembled from public lists, scraped websites or outdated contact records.

REX connects directly to official company and government databases, then enriches that information using multiple research and data-matching methods.

We also use our existing relationships across the real estate market to curate and improve records where appropriate.

The result is not just a list of names.

It gives you context around:

→ Who the organisation is
→ Where it is based
→ What it invests in
→ Relevant asset classes
→ Geographic focus
→ Key contacts and decision-makers
→ Recent activity and useful company information

You will not get the same result by asking ChatGPT to “find me some investors.”
