Move to bring AI-powered leasing and resident communications to property operators in the UAE
Seed Group, a company of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, has entered into a strategic partnership with London-based VerbaFlo to support its growth in the residential property sector in the UAE.
VerbaFlo provides AI technology for leasing and resident communications, serving landlords and operators of rental housing and student accommodation.
The agreement provides VerbaFlo with access to Seed Group’s network as it expands its business with UAE property owners, developers and management companies. Seed Group will help identify prospective clients and facilitate discussions with government and institutional stakeholders in real estate.
VerbaFlo already works with established British operators, including Homes for Students, Moda Living, Fusion Students and Downing. Founded in 2024, the company caters to more than 50 residential operators across 12 countries, with its platform supporting over 300,000 residential units.
Understanding the needs of local operators
“Our objective is to assist VerbaFlo in understanding the needs of local operators and to foster the relationships necessary for establishing a sustainable business in this region,” stated Hisham Al Gurg, CEO, Seed Group and The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum.
More than 60% of resident conversations take place outside office hours, which is why VerbaFlo runs 24/7 across phone, email, web chat and WhatsApp, supporting over 200 languages.
“Our partnership with Seed Group is extremely important to us, as it brings us close to the relationships and local understanding that matter most in this market, and we see the UAE as the opening chapter of a longer Gulf story,” emphasized Sayantan Biswas, Founder & CEO, VerbaFlo.
