Real estate.

Real estate websites that sell — listing search, virtual-tour embeds, WhatsApp-first enquiries, and the sort of SEO that actually ranks for 'two-bedroom Lavington' queries.

Built for Kenyan developers, agents and property-management companies by a Nairobi studio that understands local buyer behaviour.

Kenyan real estate buyers research online and close on WhatsApp. A website that doesn't respect that pattern loses every enquiry to the next tab — Buyrent, PropertyPro, Hauzisha, a classified on Pigiame.

We build real-estate sites that surface listings cleanly, route enquiries to the right agent within seconds, and rank for the long-tail 'suburb + bedrooms' searches that drive the highest-intent traffic. Whether you're a developer launching a new estate or a brokerage with a 200-property portfolio, the mechanics are the same.

Common pains

What we fix.

  • 01
    Listings on Facebook, nowhere else
    Your inventory lives on agent phones. Buyers can't search by price, location or bedrooms. Every enquiry comes from someone who saw that one post.
  • 02
    A website that's an online brochure
    Built in 2019, 12 property photos, zero search, no map. Ranks for nothing, captures no leads, barely loads on mobile.
  • 03
    Enquiries dropping between agents
    Lead comes in via contact form. Goes to a shared inbox nobody checks. By the time someone replies, the buyer has moved on.
  • 04
    No SEO for suburb queries
    You're invisible for 'three-bedroom Karen', 'apartment Kilimani', 'townhouse Runda' — the exact searches your buyers type.

FAQ

Real estate-specific questions.

Can you integrate with BuyRent Kenya or PropertyPro?
Yes — if you syndicate to those platforms, we can push your listings there via their APIs and keep a single source of truth on your own site.
Do virtual tours work on mobile?
Yes. Matterport and iGuide both have mobile-optimised players. We lazy-load them so they don't tank your listing page's Core Web Vitals.
How do we handle multi-agent lead routing?
Every agent has a suburb or property-type assignment. Enquiries route automatically via email + WhatsApp, with a 60-second SLA before escalation to a backup agent.
Can buyers save favourite listings?
Yes — we can add a login-free 'wishlist' via local storage or a proper account system if you want to re-market to them later.
