    About Coraly

    AI infrastructure built exclusively for real estate.

    Coraly is an AI platform serving real estate agents, brokers, MLSs, and property portals. Our tools cover listing creation and management, lead capture and tracking, marketing workflows, compliance documentation, and transaction management — purpose-built for the operational reality of real estate teams.

    We also publish the Global Property Portal Index (GPPI), an independent evidence-first benchmark measuring portal health across discoverability, market experience, listing quality, product innovation, AI adoption, compliance, and market structure. The 2025 edition covers 200+ portals across 54 markets. No portal pays to be rated.

    Coraly is founded and led by Fouad Bekkar and Stuart Chapley — two of the most experienced operators in global real estate technology, having spent their careers at Property Finder and Rightmove respectively. Headquartered in Dubai with a presence in the United States and Europe.
