Overview
Nawy is Africa’s largest proptech company, built as a full‑stack digital real estate ecosystem that helps users buy, sell, invest in, finance, and manage properties using technology, data, and AI‑enhanced tools. Originally launched as a property listings and search platform, Nawy has rapidly expanded its offerings to cover nearly every aspect of modern real estate transactions. The platform serves buyers, sellers, investors, brokers, and developers by simplifying processes that have historically been opaque, manual, and inefficient in the region.

Nawy Now (Mortgage Financing): “Move Now, Pay Later” mortgage solution that accelerates approvals and broadens access to home financing.
