Here’s the surest way of saying goodbye to renting and moving into your dream house


Owning a home is the ultimate goal for many Kenyans. Moving into a house that is registered in your name and forgetting about the hassle of paying rent before the 5th of every month is a very important step in a person’s life.

However, this dream is becoming more and more elusive as days go by because of several factors which are beyond the control of a potential home owner.

They include soaring land or house prices, being duped, not getting all the information beforehand, paying for a house then waiting for several years before it’s handed to you, just to name a few.

These are just some of the reasons why most Kenyans are sceptical about owning a home. They can’t stand the pain of seeing their hard-earned money go down the drain so, they end up staying in rented houses for many years.

Many people desire to have a reliable partner who will help them get value for their money and advice them every step of the way.
