Property Finder, a Dubai-based property portal, has appointed Owen Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of REA Group, to its Board of Directors.

Wilson brings extensive executive and operational experience, including nearly a decade at REA Group.

He joined the Australia-based company as Chief Financial Officer before being appointed Chief Executive Officer.

REA Group, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) with a market capitalisation of approximately US$ 20 billion, is known for operating realestate.com.au, an Australian property platform.

The company is majority-owned by News Corp and was previously a shareholder in Property Finder.

During his tenure, Wilson led REA Group through a period of consistent growth and international expansion.

The business has gained a reputation as one of the most advanced digital real estate companies globally.

Wilson’s appointment to Property Finder’s Board reflects the company’s focus on strengthening governance, enhancing innovation, and continuing to develop its services for home seekers, buyers, and partners in the region.

Owen Wilson said:

“I’ve long admired Property Finder’s bold vision and the transformative role it plays in reshaping real estate across the MENA region. Under Michael’s leadership, the team’s relentless focus on innovation, customer experience, and data-driven decision-making closely aligns with the values I’ve championed throughout my career. I’m excited to support Michael and the Board as the company embarks on its next chapter of growth and continues to shape the future of property search.”
